Proof Required?

Real estate companies have agreed to pay over $42 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they violated antitrust laws through their commission practices. The lawsuit claimed that these companies required home sellers to pay commissions to both their own broker and the buyer's broker, potentially inflating costs for sellers. If you sold a home and were required to pay commissions to both the listing agent and the buyer's agent, you may be eligible to receive compensation from this settlement. The companies agreed to resolve these claims without admitting wrongdoing, but the settlement provides relief to affected home sellers.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

You sold residential real estate through one of the defendant companies

How Much Can You Get?

The settlement provides over $42 million in total compensation for eligible class members.

Details about individual payout amounts are still being finalized as part of the settlement process.
