Department  <\/FONT>of Justice seems poised to sue the National Association of Realtors for <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
bylaws <\/FONT>that appear aimed at stifling competition by discount and unbundled brokers <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
(e.g<\/EM>., not allowing realtors to share inventory with brokers charging less than <\/FONT><\/DIV>

the local standard fee).   We recently <\/FONT><\/FONT>noted<\/FONT><\/A> a joint <\/FONT>FTC\/DOJ submission<\/FONT><\/A> to <\/FONT><\/DIV>

the Texas Real Estate Commission with similar concerns that competition and <\/FONT><\/DIV>
