Antitrust laws Legislation established by the federal government to prevent the formation of monopolies and to regulate trade.
antitrust laws State and federal laws designed to encourage competition and discourage or prohibit monopolies.Relevant in the real estate context because of the somewhat monopolistic power of local real estate boards, their ability to admit or exclude members, the possibility of de facto (informal) price fixing relative to real estate commissions, and their control of the Multiple Listing ServiceĀ® database of properties offered for sale. This is an exceptionally complex area of law. (For more information, visit the Department of Justice Web site at www.usdoj.gov/atr/overview.html and the National Association of REALTORSĀ® antitrust pages at www.realtor.org/libweb.nsf/pages/fg704.)
