Attorney Advertising / Not the Official Settlement Website. This page is attorney advertising by T.K. Sheth Law LLC d/b/a The Law Shed. It is not the official settlement website, is not the Court-approved notice, and is not operated by the Court, the Defendants, Class Counsel, or the Settlement Administrator. Class members may file directly with the Settlement Administrator for free through the official settlement process at www.homebuyersettlement.com.

Intake Open for a Limited Time

  • Official claim deadline: Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
  • The Law Shed's intake closes: Monday, October 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, to allow attorney review before the official deadline.
  • Have ready: your closing statement (or settlement / HUD statement) for each home you bought, and an official proof of identification (license/state ID/passport).

Who Can File

You may be eligible if all of these are true:

  • You bought a home listed on a Multiple Listing Service ("MLS") anywhere in the United States.
  • A commission was paid to any brokerage in connection with the purchase.
  • You bought during the Class Period for the state where the home is (see below).
  • You did not exclude yourself from the Settlement.

Good to know:

  • Individuals, co-buyers, businesses, trusts, estates and retirement plans that bought a home may file. Each buyer completes their own intake form.
  • Sold a home? You may still qualify; membership is based on home purchases. The claim asks for the dates of any home sales between April 29, 2014 and October 14, 2025.
  • If you are a class member in a home seller settlement (Burnett, Gibson, Keel or Hooper), you are excluded as to the Defendant released in that settlement.
  • Already filed a claim yourself? Tell us in the intake form and give us your confirmation number if you want us to represent you.

About the Settlement

  • Case: Tuccori et al. v. At World Properties, LLC et al., No. 1:24-cv-00150 (N.D. Ill.).
  • Who settled: The National Association of REALTORS® and a number of residential real estate brokerage companies (together, "Defendants").
  • The claims: The lawsuit claims the Defendants raised, fixed and maintained real estate broker commissions at heightened amounts, which harmed homebuyers by inflating home prices and reducing the quality of buyer-broker services. The Defendants deny having violated the law. Neither the Court nor a jury have considered or decided who is right or wrong.
  • Settlement Fund: $120,334,500. Payments are expected to be pro rata, based on each member's home purchase price and broker commissions paid, after Court-approved fees, expenses and costs. Individual amounts are not yet known.
  • When payments come: only if the Court grants final approval and after any appeals. The Defendants pay into the fund in installments, so there will be multiple payments over several years.
  • Final Approval Hearing: November 2, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. The date may change; check the official settlement website.
  • Passed: the deadlines to opt out and to object (September 17, 2026).
