NAR vs ARA Accountability Battle

NAR is fighting to obtain documents from the American Real Estate Association over its Accountability Project, but ARA’s Jason Haber is refusing — sparking a legal showdown rooted in a 2020 lawsuit by thePLS.com (linked to Mauricio Umansky). The case centers on NAR’s now-modified “Clear Cooperation Policy,” which once forced agents to list on NAR platforms within 24 hours — now seen by plaintiffs as anti-competitive, especially with pocket listings on the rise. NAR counters that its rules are lawful, pro-consumer, and necessary for business — and that plaintiffs haven’t proven any real harm. Haber, however, stands firm, vowing to defend the Accountability Project and protect those he believes need it — as the battle rages on.
