The court’s exact words
To be eligible to receive the benefits of the Settlements, you must have: (1) sold a home during the Eligible Date Range; (2) listed the home that was sold on a multiple listing service (“MLS”) anywhere in the United States; and (3) paid a commission to any real estate brokerage in connection with the sale of the home.
Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.
Our notes: This record covers the home seller settlements on RealEstateCommissionLitigation.com, not the separate homebuyer case. The Eligible Date Range depends on the MLS the home was listed on and on the settlement. For the NAR settlement: April 29, 2014 through August 17, 2024 for four Missouri MLSs; March 6, 2015 through August 17, 2024 for a list of named regional MLSs; December 17, 2016 through August 17, 2024 for MLS PIN (Massachusetts); and October 31, 2019 through August 17, 2024 for any other MLS in the United States. The other settlements' ranges are in their own notices. One claim form per home sold covered every settlement the seller was eligible for.
You may be included if you sold a home listed on an MLS anywhere in the U.S. and paid a commission to a real estate brokerage on the sale.
It covers only sales in the date range set for each MLS; for NAR, the ranges begin in 2014 to 2019 and end August 17, 2024.
