Real-REMAX Deal Clears Regulatory Hurdle
Real’s $880 million bid to purchase REMAX clears DOJ and FTC scrutiny as the waiting period for antitrust review expires
Real's bid to purchase REMAX for $880 million has cleared a major regulatory hurdle, as the Department of Justice (DOJ) has granted "early termination" of the mandatory waiting period, according to a statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and reported by RISMedia. This development suggests that both the DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have completed their review and determined they will not take any enforcement action during the waiting period. The deal's progress comes as regulatory bodies are focusing on various issues, including market manipulation, as seen in the recent SK Hynix Market Manipulation case, and the SEC 2026 Regulatory Agenda Unveiled, which outlines potential rulemaking proposals for the next year. Meanwhile, the home.treasury.gov website highlights the Department of the Treasury's efforts to disrupt illicit activities, and the federalreserve.gov website provides updates on the Federal Reserve's actions and speeches, including a recent speech by Governor Barr on artificial intelligence.
