For 30+ years, consumer advocates, like Ralph Nader & Steve Brobeck of Consumer Federation of America, have called the real estate industry a cartel, the Sleeping Giant of the #ConsumerMovement.

Now the #RECartel taking beating in courts & press, and Larry Summers, Havard President Emeritus & Treasury Secretary in Clinton administration has underlined that with this statement / video on BloombergTV


Quote:
This is a HUGE win! The process of buying & selling houses in the US is probably as egregious an example of special interest politics putting huge burdens on consumers as anything we have

Breaking the Realtor cartel could have $100B in benefits over time.
