About $281 is on the table for approximately 300,000 Americans who qualify but are running out of time to claim for the class action settlement that affects one of the biggest real estate companies. As per the $20 million Realogy settlement, all Realogy clients who received unsolicited calls from Coldwell Banker-affiliated agents between 2015 and 2020 are eligible for a share of the settlement fee provided that they meet the tax filing deadline which is July 3, 2025. With the deadline being around the corner, citizens must check if they are eligible and file a claim as soon as possible.
Understanding the reason behind the Realogy class action settlement
As per the lawsuit, Bumpus et al. v. Realogy Holdings Corp. of 2019, Realogy which has changed its name to Anywhere Real Estate, Inc. was accused of having many of its subsidiaries violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). As stated by the lawsuit, real estate agents connected with Coldwell Banker were responsible for making unsolicited telemarketing calls (with the use auto dialers or prerecorded messages) to all of the people listed on the National Do Not Call Registry. The real problem was that these unsolicited calls were made without gaining any prior consent from the people on the list.
Although Realogy has not admitted to any wrongdoing, the real estate company was in favor of the $20 million settlement so as to ensure that no further court action would be taken against them and to settle all legal accusations. Should the court provide the final verdict for this settlement claim, an anticipated cash payment of more or less $281,80 could go out to eligible claimants. This amount will, however, change based on the number of eligible claimants who file before the file deadline.

Disclaimer: You should not submit false or inflated claims under penalty of perjury, as class‑action claim forms historically required declarations signed “under penalty of perjury” to ensure authenticity. Submitting a fraudulent claim not only carries legal exposure—including potential civil and criminal sanctions—but also harms other eligible class members by diluting the available settlement pool.
