Who qualifies?

People who bought residential real estate in the U.S. that was listed on a multiple listing service (MLS) between their state's class-period start date and April 14, 2026. The home need NOT have been sold by RE/MAX or Keller Williams — only MLS-listed. No Claim ID or documents needed upfront.

  • Bought an MLS-listed U.S. home between your state's class-period start date and April 14, 2026
  • The home didn't have to be sold by RE/MAX or Keller Williams — just MLS-listed
  • No Claim ID/PIN needed; keep closing documents (HUD-1/Closing Disclosure) in case of follow-up

What is this settlement about?

Keller Williams ($20M) and RE/MAX ($8.5M) agreed to a combined $28.5 million settlement of antitrust claims that they conspired with the National Association of REALTORS and other brokers to fix and inflate residential broker commissions — which the suit says inflated home prices for buyers. The case is Batton v. NAR in the Northern District of Illinois. Both companies deny wrongdoing but settled to avoid further litigation; the case continues against NAR and Anywhere Real Estate. The administrator (A.B. Data) validates eligibility from the info you provide and may request closing documents.

Who's excluded: For the RE/MAX portion only, anyone who was a class member in the RE/MAX seller-side Burnett v. NAR settlement is excluded — but they can still claim the Keller Williams portion.
