What are the Settlements about?

These Settlements resolve claims against the following Defendants in two related lawsuits that allege the existence of an anticompetitive agreement that resulted in home sellers paying inflated commissions to real estate brokers or agents in violation of antitrust law for a total of over $42 million: William Raveis Real Estate, Inc. (“William Raveis”); Hanna Holdings, Inc. ("Howard Hanna”); EXIT Realty Corp. International and EXIT Realty Corp. USA (“EXIT”); Windermere Real Estate Services Company, Inc. (“Windermere”), William Lyon & Associates (“Lyon”); Charles Rutenberg Realty, Inc. (“Charles Rutenberg”); My Home Group Real Estate, LLC (“My Home”); Tierra Antigua Realty, LLC (“Tierra Antigua”);  and West USA Realty, Inc. (“West USA”); and related entities and affiliates as defined in the Settlement Agreements.

How do I know if I am a part of the Settlements?

The Eligible Date Ranges can be found on the William Raveis, Howard Hanna, EXIT, Windermere, Lyon, Charles Rutenberg, My Home, Tierra Antigua, and West USA Long Form Notice and also in FAQ 6.
