Frequently Asked Questions About This Settlement
What's Going On?
Proposed settlements have been reached in lawsuits alleging real estate brokerage firms and trade association National Association of Realtors (NAR) required home sellers to pay inflated total commissions to real estate brokers or agents in violation of antitrust law.
Most recently, NAR and Home Services of America (also known as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices) have agreed to pay at least $418 million and $250 million, respectively, to settle the claims against them.
Other real estate brokerage firms have also entered into proposed Settlements, including Anywhere Real Estate, RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Compass, Real Brokerage, Realty ONE, @properties, Douglas Elliman, Redfin, Engel & Völkers, HomeSmart, United Real Estate, and certain of their affiliates. More may settle in the future. The current value of all settlements is over $980 million.
Who’s Eligible for the Settlements?
The settlements cover anyone who, during certain eligible date ranges, sold a home that was listed on a multiple listing service (MLS) anywhere in the U.S. and paid a commission to any real estate brokerage in connection with the sale of the home.
The covered eligible date ranges depend on which MLS the property was listed on and can be viewed on the official settlement website.
Note: The website covers the previous settlements with various real estate brokerages and the more recent proposed settlements detailed here. You may be eligible for more than one.
How Much Could I Get?
Those who file valid claims will be eligible for a share of the settlements, after any awarded attorneys’ fees, expenses, settlement administration costs, and service awards have been deducted. You may be eligible for a share from multiple settlements as there are several defendants in the litigation. The current value of all settlements is over $980 million.
As part of the deals, the settling defendants have also agreed to implement certain changes to their practices, including that NAR will ban sellers and listing agents from making offers of compensation on REALTOR® MLSs to buyer agents.
How Do I File a Claim?
You can file a claim on the official settlement website.
You can access the claim form right here.
Note: You only need to file one claim for each home you sold during the eligible date ranges. With one claim form, you will receive your share of each settlement that you are eligible for, including any future settlements. Furthermore, you do not need to have sold your home using one of the settling defendants to make a claim. If you have already submitted a Claim Form for a prior Settlement with other Defendants, you do not need to submit another Claim.
Is the Website Legit?
Yes. It has been designated by the court as the official website for the settlements and where consumers will need to go if they want to submit a claim online.
Is There a Deadline for This?
Yes. The deadline for filing a claim is May 9, 2025.
