This sounds like denying the existence of price fixing altogether. Sure, buyers can try to negotiate against a price fixing scheme but it won't work. The price is fixed.
The software isn't really doing anything. It's simply the means of communication by which the prices are fixed amongst the suppliers.
- FireBeyond 3y ago> The software isn't really doing anything. It's simply the means of communication by which the prices are fixed amongst the suppliers. The software literally includes the algorithm that says "this week, you will set the rate for this apartment at $X" based on its data. And if you want to deviate from that, without being kicked off, and losing your substantial fee payment, you will do that rate (and they will check), or you can "request an override" from RealPage, that they may allow or deny at their discretion (and RP agents are formally trained that override approvals may not exceed 5% of requests).
- tsimionescu 3y agoEven if they didn't kick you off, they would still be engaging in price fixing. They would be worse at actually changing prices with their scheme, but badly executed, ineffective price fixing is still illegal.
