Homebuyer Antitrust Settlement
Accepting Submissions
ClaimsHero is no longer accepting new claim submissions for the MLS Homebuyer Antitrust Settlement. However, you still have time to file your claim directly on the official settlement website: https://homebuyersettlement.com/en. The deadline to file your own claim is October 27, 2026.
Homebuyers sued the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and more than 20 real estate brokerages, claiming they created and enforced rules that kept buyer broker commissions artificially high. The defendants deny the allegations but have agreed to a class action settlement. The case is Tuccori et al. v. At World Properties, LLC et al., No. 1:24-cv-00150, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The settlement creates a $120,334,500 fund. After court-approved attorneys' fees, expenses, service awards and administration costs are paid, the rest will be split pro rata among class members who file valid claims. Each payment will depend on how many valid claims are filed, how many homes you bought and how much commission was paid in those purchases. Individual amounts have not been announced, and payments are expected in installments over several years. The settling defendants also agreed to changes to certain business practices.
The deadline to file a claim is October 27, 2026. The deadlines to opt out or object passed on September 17, 2026. The court will hold the final approval hearing on November 2, 2026, and has not yet granted final approval for the settlement.
