What happened

The National Association of Realtors and major real estate companies are settling claims that they engaged in anticompetitive practices related to MLS commissions and home sales. The defendants have agreed to pay $28.5 million in settlements, though they admit no wrongdoing.

Do you qualify?

Anyone who purchased residential real estate in the United States that was listed on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) between the state-specific statutory period start date and April 14, 2026. Start dates vary by state, ranging from January 25, 2006 (Puerto Rico) to January 25, 2019 (Texas).

How to file

Submit a valid Claim Form by August 25, 2026, either online on the Claim Form page or by mail to the Claims Administrator (postmarked by August 25, 2026). Submitting a claim is the only way to receive settlement benefits.

Common questions

How much does the National Association of Realtors MLS Commission Settlement pay?
The total settlement fund is $28.5M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
What is the claim deadline for the National Association of Realtors MLS Commission Settlement?
This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was August 25, 2026. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
Is the National Association of Realtors MLS Commission Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Claims are filed at homebuyerlitigation.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the National Association of Realtors MLS Commission Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for August 4, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
