Yea, I think we're part of the Burnett class, which is what that claim form is for.

There's also the Moehrl case:

I got a better sense of what's going on after reading this. The timeline with all the lawsuits and other milestones starts to provide me with a roadmap for where this has been.

But there are still a lot of missing pieces for me, and I can't put the pieces I'm seeing into a logical big picture. I need a lawyer to explain this to me. Big Grin

i don't understand what it is you are trying to understand. you sold a house in the united states through an MLS listing after feb 2020. if the settlement is approved, you'll get your minuscule cheque some time before the next millenium. Big Grin

btw, I bet quite a few other WTFers also qualify. SK, maybe even Jodi (I can't remember when she sold her Maine house).

My initial stumbling block was that I thought you had to have used one of the Defendants in the lawsuit to sell your home. Then I saw this note on the realestatecommissionlitigation.com website, as it pertains to Burnett.

quote:
*Note: You do not need to have sold a home using an Anywhere, RE/MAX, or Keller Williams agent to make a claim.


So between that and the bit you posted, I became convinced I was part of the Burnett class for the sale of our Door County property in February 2020.

Beyond that...

I hadn't been following this whole real estate commission antitrust process that's been going on before the NAR settlement. There's a lot that's happened before March 15. The more I read about this I realized how little I understand about what's happening. I'm trying to see the big picture of how all these lawsuits and settlement classes fit together. I may be eligible for more than one.

For instance, I was unaware of the individual Burnett and Moehrl cases and associated settlements, which are separate from the recent NAR news. The form you linked to is a claim under the Burnett settlement. I may be eligible in the Moehrl class too. And who knows what will happen with the NAR settlement.

Oh, and it may not be a miniscule check. I saw an estimate of $8000+ for an average claim, but I can't remember whether it was Burnett or Moehrl...

Are there different forms for each case? I found those dates in the Moehrl page.

I'm not sure if there are different forms. That's part of my confusion.

I think I'm just going to call the toll free number and see if I can get clarification on how this works.

I don't think I've gotten anything in the mail about being eligible to file a claim. Has anyone else gotten anything? Just seems like they contact you with a claim form or opt-out info for these kinds of class action lawsuits...

There is this:

quote:
You may object to or exclude yourself (opt-out) from one or more of the three settlements with Settling Defendants by April 13, 2024. The deadline to file a claim for a payment in the Nationwide Settlements is May 9, 2025. There may be additional settlements. T


Does that sound like there is only one form, for Nationwide Settlements, and that they'll figure out what you're eligible for?
