Residential real estate brokerage Compass Inc. sued Zillow Group Inc., alleging that the home-search website is using “anticompetitive tactics” with its plan to restrict certain listings.
Compass alleges that Zillow “has retaliated against competitive threats by enacting an exclusionary policy” by banning listings that have been publicly marketed elsewhere first, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan.
