Keller Williams announced on Feb. 2 that it will pay $20 million to settle the Batton home buyer commission lawsuit. The suit alleges that NAR, Anywhere Real Estate (now Compass International Holdings), REMAX and Keller Williams Realty participated in a “decades-long, nationwide antitrust conspiracy” that resulted in homebuyers paying “billions in overcharges.”
According to the firm, under the terms of the settlement all “KWRI franchisees, agents, and teams are released from antitrust claims by all persons who purchased residential real estate that was listed on a MLS during the relevant time period.”
Keller Williams is the first of the Batton defendants to settle the lawsuit. Keller Williams’ CEO Chris Czarnecki noted that the goal of the settlement was to eliminate uncertainty for Keller Williams’ franchisees and agents.
NAR said it will continue to pursue all legal options to achieve a result that best serves the interest of our members, the industry, and consumers:
“This development does not directly affect NAR’s position in the Batton litigation. We respect Keller Williams’ right to settle these claims and anticipated the possibility they would do so. NAR remains actively engaged in the Batton joint defense group, and we continue to defend our rules where questioned. Given recent history and the dynamics of this case, NAR continues to pursue all potential resolutions, both non-litigation and litigation, to reach a result that is in the best interest of our members, the industry and consumers.”
