Anti-competitive practices include any actions taken by an individual agent or brokerages or a group of agents which seeks to keep commission rates artificially high by suppressing or discouraging competition.

Anti-competitive practices also include the failure to disclose all information to consumers, as this lack of transparency may deter or otherwise discourage a consumer from seeking the best possible terms when it comes to commission rates.

What are some obvious examples? If two or three brokerage firms agree that none of them will allow any broker to charge less than say 5.5% commission that is an anti-competitive practice. If a broker or a group of agents refuses to work with discount brokers, that is an anti-competitive practice, and if an agent tells a buyer that buyer agent commission rebates are illegal, that is an anti-competitive practice.
