This article describes a class action complaint. The statements below are unproven allegations. Homes.com has not been found liable, there is no certified class, and nothing to claim at this time. This page is informational and is not legal advice.
What Is This About?
A proposed class action accuses the online real estate marketplace Homes.com of bombarding consumers with unsolicited pre-recorded telemarketing calls in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The complaint, Eggers v. Homes.com, LLC (Case No. 8:26-cv-01685, U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida), was filed on June 9, 2026 against Homes.com, LLC, a Delaware company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia.The named plaintiff, a Florida resident, alleges he received a series of calls to his personal cell phone in May 2026 that played an automated greeting — "Hi, this is Homes.com. Please stay on the line for an agent." — even though he says he never gave Homes.com his number and was not looking to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in real estate. He alleges the calls were placed without his consent using a pre-recorded or artificial voice. Homes.com has not yet responded to the complaint, and the allegations are unproven.

What the Lawsuit Alleges
Homes.com is a nationwide online real estate marketplace where consumers search for homes, connect with real estate professionals, and obtain property information. To promote its services, the complaint alleges, Homes.com runs telemarketing campaigns that include pre-recorded voice message calls directed at consumers and prospective customers across the country.According to the complaint, the named plaintiff received an unsolicited call in mid-May 2026 from a local area code, followed by additional calls on May 20 and May 28, 2026 — each playing the same automated Homes.com greeting. One call left a pre-recorded voicemail identifying Homes.com, and when the plaintiff called the number back, he says an automated system again identified the company by name and he could not reach a live agent. The plaintiff alleges he never provided his cell phone number to Homes.com in any context and is not a real estate agent or someone looking to buy or sell property.
The suit contends these calls caused the kind of harm the TCPA was enacted to prevent — annoyance, nuisance, invasion of privacy, and the occupation of the plaintiff's phone line and time. Homes.com has not admitted any wrongdoing, and a court has not ruled on any of these claims.
What the TCPA Prohibits
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act generally bars companies from placing non-emergency calls to a cell phone using an artificial or pre-recorded voice without the recipient's prior express consent — and, for telemarketing calls, prior express written consent. The law was passed in 1991 in response to a flood of unwanted telemarketing calls, and Congress has repeatedly cited robocalls as one of the most common consumer complaints to federal agencies.For each call that violates the statute, the TCPA provides statutory damages of at least $500, which a court may treble to as much as $1,500 per call if it finds the violation was willful or knowing. The complaint asks the court to find that Homes.com's conduct violated 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii) and to award those statutory damages on a class-wide basis. Whether any calls actually violated the TCPA — and whether consent existed — is exactly what the litigation will test.
Who the Proposed Class Covers
The complaint seeks to represent a nationwide class it calls the "Pre-recorded No Consent Class," defined as:All persons in the United States who, from four years before the filing of the action through the date of class certification, (1) received a call from Homes.com on their cell phone (2) using an artificial or pre-recorded voice.
Judges, defense-side parties, plaintiff's counsel, and people who opt out or have already released their claims are excluded. The complaint estimates the class numbers in the hundreds or thousands but notes the definition may be refined after discovery. No class has been certified yet, so who ultimately qualifies — if anyone — could change as the case proceeds.
Is There a Settlement or Claim Form?
No. This is a freshly filed lawsuit, not a settlement.That means:
• There is no settlement fund.
• There is no claim form.
• There is no payout and no deadline to act.
For any money to be distributed, the case would first have to survive Homes.com's expected early motions, then win class certification, and then either settle or prevail at trial — a process that can take years and may not succeed. Be cautious of any website that claims you can "file a claim" against Homes.com over robocalls today. If a class is ever certified and a settlement or judgment results, a formal claims process with its own eligibility rules and deadlines would be announced separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Homes.com settlement or claim form?
No. This is a newly filed class action complaint, not a settlement. There is no settlement fund, no claim form, and no payout. Homes.com has not been found liable, no class has been certified, and there is nothing to claim at this time.What does the Homes.com lawsuit allege?
That Homes.com placed unsolicited telemarketing calls using a pre-recorded or artificial voice to consumers' cell phones without their prior express written consent, in violation of the TCPA, 47 U.S.C. § 227. The named plaintiff says he received several such calls that played an automated greeting identifying Homes.com. These are unproven allegations.Who could be covered by the proposed class?
The complaint proposes a nationwide class of everyone in the U.S. who, in the four years before the suit through class certification, received a call from Homes.com on their cell phone using an artificial or pre-recorded voice. No class has been certified, so coverage could change as the case proceeds — or the case could be dismissed.How much can the TCPA award for an illegal pre-recorded call?
The TCPA provides statutory damages of at least $500 per illegal call, which a court may increase up to $1,500 per call if the violation is found to be willful or knowing. Those are the statutory maximums available if the plaintiffs ultimately prevail; they are not a current payout, and nothing has been awarded.Sources
