If you sold a home between 2014 and August 2024, you may be eligible for the NAR $418M settlement (nationwide) or the Moehrl $42M settlement (five specific brokerages). Note: both claim deadlines have passed, but appeals are ongoing.

I Bought a Home

If you bought a home between October 2019 and August 2024, check the Tuccori $10.8M settlement (deadline: Sept 15, 2026), the Keller Williams $20M settlement, or the new RE/MAX $8.5M settlement (both pending approval). Combined Batton 1 fund: $28.5M.
