A productive suggestion to improve the real estate brokerage industry would be prompt anti-trust action taken to make it competitive, resulting, quite predictably, in lower fees. Effective enforcement would include actions against: 1.) the National Association of Realtors and their local MLS monopolies; 2.) Those firms which have obtained dominance in regional markets through acquisitions which violated anti-trust law: a.) Long & Foster; b.) Cendant/NRT; c.) Home Services/Berkshire-Hathaway; d.) Weichert; e.) Windermere; f.) Arvida; g.) GMAC/General Motors.
