Four plaintiffs in the Sitzer/Burnett class action lawsuit took the stand on Wednesday and Thursday (October 18-19) to challenge the real estate industry’s commission structure.
On Day 3 of the Sitzer/Burnett trial, lead attorney Michael Ketchmark questioned RE/MAX CEO Nick Bailey, former Coldwell Banker CEO M. Ryan Gorman, and Keller Williams University executive Meredith Maples.
The second day of the Sitzer/Burnett trial included opening remarks from both plaintiffs and defendants, along with testimonies from Gary Keller (Keller Williams CEO), Gino Blefari (HomeServices of America CEO), and Bob Goldberg (NAR CEO).
On day one of the Sitzer/Burnett trial, jury selection took several hours as lawyers for both sides reduced a jury pool of around 80 to nine. And a pro-plaintiff Wall Street Journal article published the day before could make it difficult for jurors to avoid external bias.
