A House Judiciary subcommittee is pressing Compass International Holdings<\/strong> \u0438 \u0414\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043e \u043d\u0435\u0434\u0432\u0438\u0436\u0438\u043c\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438 \u0421\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043d\u0435\u0433\u043e \u0417\u0430\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0430<\/strong> (MRED) to explain their nationwide private listing network partnership<\/a>, citing concerns that the arrangement could limit transparency, reduce competition and harm homebuyers and sellers.<\/p>\n

The House Judiciary Committee\u2019s Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform and Antitrust sent separate letters on July 22, 2026, to Compass CEO Robert Reffkin and MRED President and CEO Rebecca Jensen requesting briefings on the companies\u2019 use of private listing networks and their recently announced data partnership. The letters were obtained and verified by \u0416\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0449\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0434.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letters, signed by subcommittee chair Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., say the panel is examining whether certain real estate companies are using private listing networks (PLNs) and similar structures \u201cto insulate themselves from competition at the expense of consumers,\u201d undercutting the goals of U.S. antitrust law.<\/p>\n

In April, MRED \u2014 one of the nation\u2019s largest multiple listing services \u2014 announced a deal with Compass to expand its Private Listing Network nationwide, opening participation to agents outside MRED\u2019s traditional Midwest footprint. Under the agreement, MRED offers agents \u201coff-MLS listings\u201d that are not available to the general public, while Compass markets many of those properties as \u201cCompass Private Exclusive\u201d listings shared first within its own agent network before they appear on \u0417\u0438\u043b\u043b\u043e\u0443<\/strong>, \u041a\u0440\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u044b\u0439<\/strong>, \u0420\u0438\u044d\u043b\u0442\u043e\u0440.com<\/strong> or local MLSs, according to the letters. Compass does have a mutually exclusive deal<\/a> with Redfin to premarket its coming soon listings.<\/p>\n

The subcommittee flagged several potential competitive concerns raised by the Compass\u2013MRED structure and PLNs generally:<\/p>\n
