Proof Required?
Keller Williams and RE/MAX have agreed to pay a combined $28.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit related to home buyer agent commissions. The lawsuit alleged that these major real estate brokerages engaged in practices that artificially inflated or fixed buyer agent commission rates, ultimately costing home buyers more than they should have paid. If you purchased a home and paid a buyer's agent commission through a Keller Williams or RE/MAX affiliated agent, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement fund. This case is part of a broader wave of real estate commission litigation that has brought significant attention to how agent fees are structured and disclosed in the U.S. housing market. The claim deadline is August 25, 2026, so there's still time to find out if you qualify and get your claim submitted. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process and help make sure you don't miss out.

How Much Did It Pay?

The total settlement fund is $28.5 million, which will be divided among all eligible class members who submit valid claims.

Generally in real estate commission settlements, payouts are calculated proportionally based on the commission amount tied to your transaction.
