The lawsuit against Realogy alleged that real estate agents affiliated with one of its brands, Coldwell Banker, violated the federal TCPA by placing unsolicited telemarketing calls to phone numbers on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, and/or calling consumers using an automated, prerecorded message without prior authorization.

The proposed class action settlement aims to cover two classes comprised of approximately 298,494 people. The deal will cover anyone in the United States who received two or more calls made by a Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agent using autodialing software provided by Mojo, PhoneBurner and/or Storm in any 12-month period on a residential landline or cell phone number that was listed on the National Do-Not-Call Registry for at least 31 days at any time between June 11, 2015 and December 3, 2020.

The Realogy class action settlement, if approved, will also cover those in the United States who received to their residential landline or cell phone number a call that used an artificial or prerecorded message and was made by a Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agent at any time during the same period.

The plaintiffs filed a motion detailing the terms of the agreement with Realogy on January 20, 2025. It is now up to the court to determine whether to grant preliminary approval to the robocall settlement terms.

If the deal is initially approved, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form may be eligible to receive a pro-rated share of the $20,000,000 settlement fund, the agreement relays.

Consumers will be able to submit claim forms by mail or online through the official settlement website once it is established.

ClassAction.org will update this page if and when the official Realogy settlement website is launched.

According to the settlement agreement, class members who are unsure of whether they qualify for the deal will be able to enter their telephone number into the website to see if it is covered.

Per the agreement, each class member may receive a payout of approximately $281.80 if the estimated 15-percent claims rate proves accurate. The document notes that this figure will increase or decrease based on the total number of claims that are submitted. A second distribution to class members may occur, if administratively feasible, should any money remain in the settlement fund, court documents add.

Notice of the Realogy settlement will be mailed out and the official website will be launched within 30 days following preliminary approval of the deal, the agreement states. Class members will then have 90 days from the date of mailing to file a claim form, the document adds.
