MANDATORY ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE TRAING FOR CTR
CT REALTORS® believes a main reason for our existence is to proactively address potential member liability in real estate practice. To that end, we have created a short antitrust compliance video that members are required to watch prior to January 15, 2025. There’s also a companion antitrust FAQ document for you to separately review as well.
The video will take under six minutes to watch and will help ensure you learn that certain antitrust actions, comments and social media posts can lead to personal liability of hundreds of thousands of dollars or even jail time.
Complete the Antitrust Compliance Video Requirement now!

Consumer Tips
HOMEOWNERSHIP MATTERS
The benefits of purchasing and owning your place of residence are both financial and emotional – pride in homeownership and the feeling of security are huge intangible benefits. An obvious financial benefit of homeownership is the appreciation of your home over time. Housing markets do move in cycles, but houses will almost always appreciate to some degree over time. Other benefits include property tax deductions, capital gains exclusion, and other preferential tax treatment.
