Where can a real estate agent report an antitrust violation?

A real estate agent can report an antitrust violation to the Citizens Complaint Center of the DOJ's Antitrust Division because this branch of the Department of Justice is specifically tasked with handling antitrust laws at the federal level. This includes investigating and addressing anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing, market allocation, and collusion among competitors. The Antitrust Division is designed to ensure fair competition and can take legal action against those who participate in illegal activities that violate these laws.

While local real estate boards, the Federal Trade Commission, and state real estate commissions may play roles in regulating real estate practices or promoting ethical standards, they are not the primary federal entities designated to specifically handle antitrust violations. Local boards may address ethical breaches, and state real estate commissions focus on licensing and regulation of real estate professionals, but reporting an antitrust concern directly to the DOJ's Antitrust Division allows for appropriate federal oversight and intervention regarding competitive practices.
