How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Home purchase details — The state where you bought, the approximate purchase date (it needs to land inside your state's window, through April 14, 2026), and confirmation the home was listed on an MLS. (Your closing disclosure, HUD-1 settlement statement, or purchase contract.)
- State of purchase (to determine applicable statutory period) — The state where the property is located. This determines your specific start date. (Your purchase contract or closing documents.)
Documents you'll need
- Proof of home purchase (closing disclosure, HUD-1, or purchase contract) (required)
Watch out for
- August 25, 2026 is the hard cutoff. Both online submissions and mailed forms (postmarked by that date) count.
- The opt-out and objection deadlines were June 23, 2026 — both have passed.
- Your state's start date matters a lot. Texas starts January 25, 2019; Puerto Rico goes all the way back to January 25, 2006. Double-check your state before filing so you don't waste a submission.
- The Settlement Hearing is scheduled for July 28, 2026. Payments won't go out until after the court signs off.
- These settlements cover Keller Williams and RE/MAX only. Other defendants in the original lawsuit are not part of this fund.
