## Resource

Florida homebuyers are launching a class-action lawsuit against Compass over a $475 “junk fee” slapped on their home purchase — a move critics say unfairly boosts broker profits while worsening housing affordability. The Efrons, who claim they were misled into paying the fee without proper disclosure, allege it violates state consumer laws and was unlawfully added to their contract by a non-lawyer. Compass defends the fee as industry-standard, but critics demand transparency — and if successful, this case could shake up how real estate fees are charged nationwide.
