Common Sense Real Estate Consumer Rights Protection Act of 2024

HR 9452 reaffirms that state laws regulating real estate brokers and their salespersons remain in effect, overriding prior federal laws that conflicted with state oversight. The bill directly affects real estate brokers, salespersons, and state licensing authorities by ensuring states maintain full control over licensing, fees, and professional conduct rules for real estate transactions. Key provisions declare all prior federal regulations related to real estate brokerage "null and void" and prohibit future federal laws from interfering with state regulation unless specifically targeting the real estate brokerage profession. Federal antitrust laws (Sherman Act, Clayton Act) still apply to real estate brokerage activities only when state law does not already cover them.
