Overview
If you've sold a home in the past 10 years and paid a real estate commission, you might be eligible for a settlement that alleges realtors and brokerages inflated closing fees. This may have resulted in sellers like you paying higher commissions than you should have. If you sold your house in the last 10 years, you may qualify to claim part of this 10-figure settlement!
Eligibility
You may qualify if you sold your home through a brokerage, such as:
@properties
Anywhere
Compass
Douglas Elliman
Engel & Volkers
HomeServices
HomeSmart
Keller Williams
National Association of Realtors
RE/MAX
