(Zillow Photo)This story originally appeared on Real Estate News.
The law firms that filed one of the original class-action lawsuits challenging real estate commissions nationwide have a new target: Zillow.
“When potential buyers are on Zillow’s website, Zillow tricks them into signing up with a Zillow agent.
The program “incentivizes Zillow Flex agents to prioritize receiving his/her full commission at all costs,” the complaint alleges, because those agents are netting a lower commission after paying referral fees.
Real Estate News has reached out to Zillow for comment and will update this story if and when a response is received.
