If you sold a home and paid a commission to a real estate agent, you may be a part of class action settlements totaling $208.5 MillionNEWS PROVIDED BY JND Legal Administration 06 Feb, 2024, 09:18 ET SEATTLE, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JND Legal Administration announces proposed settlements have been reached with Anywhere Real Estate, Inc. f/k/a Realogy Holdings Corp. ("Anywhere"), RE/MAX LLC ("RE/MAX"), and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. ("Keller Williams") resolving claims in a lawsuit known as Burnett et al. v. National Association of Realtors, et al., Case No. 19-CV-003322-SRB (Western District of Missouri). The lawsuit alleges the existence of an anticompetitive agreement that resulted in home sellers paying inflated commissions to real estate brokers or agents in violation of antitrust law. Defendants include The National Association of Realtors ("NAR") and the following large real estate brokerage firms: Anywhere, RE/MAX, Keller Williams, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Only Anywhere. RE/MAX, and Keller Williams have reached proposed settlements. Both sides agree that by settling, Anywhere, RE/MAX, and Keller Williams are not admitting any liability or that they did anything wrong. The settlements also resolve claims against Anywhere, RE/MAX, and Keller Williams raised in at least two other lawsuits: Moehrl et al. v. National Association of Realtors et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-01610-ARW (Northern District of Illinois); and Nosalek v. MLS Property Information Network, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-12244-PBS (District of Massachusetts). The Court has authorized this notice of the proposed settlements. Am I affected? You are a Settlement Class Member and eligible for payment if you: (1) sold a home during the Eligible Date Range; (2) listed the home that was sold on a multiple listing service ("MLS") anywhere in the United States; and (3) paid a commission to any real estate brokerage in connection with the sale of the home. The Eligible Date Range depends on what MLS you listed your home for sale on. Go to www.RealEstateCommissionLitigation.com to see the Eligible Date Range and to learn more. What do the settlements provide? Anywhere, RE/MAX, and Keller Williams have agreed to pay, collectively, $208,500,000 into settlement funds. The funds will be distributed to qualifying Settlement Class Members who submit an approved claim form, after any awarded attorneys' fees, expenses, settlement administration costs, and service awards have been deducted

The FAQ page lists the dates according to Broker, this list is for REMAX. Looks like we fall into the 4 year window. What the hell, maybe we will get a few hundred back on that $60k commission.
