What Was the Realogy Telemarketing Settlement About?

Realogy Holdings Corp. (now Anywhere Real Estate) agreed to a $20 million class action settlement resolving allegations that it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit claimed that Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agents made telemarketing calls to numbers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry and, in some cases, used artificial or prerecorded voice messages without the required consent. Realogy denied wrongdoing and the court did not decide that it broke the law — the company agreed to settle to resolve the case. The claim deadline was July 3, 2025 and has passed, so this page is now for informational and status purposes only.

What Was the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement fund was $20 million. That fund covered payments to class members, attorneys' fees and expenses, settlement administration costs, and service awards to the class representatives.

What Is the TCPA?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, passed in 1991, regulates telemarketing, automated calls, texts, and prerecorded messages. It generally requires prior consent before such communications and provides penalties for violations. For more background, see the OpenClassActions explainer on the TCPA.

Who Qualified?

The class covered people who, between June 11, 2015 and December 3, 2020, either:

• Received two or more calls within any 12-month period from a Coldwell Banker-affiliated agent, placed using the Mojo, PhoneBurner, or Storm dialers, to a phone number that had been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days; or

• Received at least one call from a Coldwell Banker-affiliated agent that included an artificial or prerecorded voice message, as identified by specific call disposition codes.

How Much Was the Estimated Payment?

Approved claimants were estimated to receive about $281 each, based on roughly 15% of the class participating. That $281 figure was always a pre-distribution estimate that assumed a particular claim rate, and the actual amount depended on the total number of valid claims submitted. The official settlement website has not published the final payment amount per approved claim, so the $281 estimate should not be read as the confirmed payout. Claimants could choose to receive payment by paper check, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, or a virtual prepaid Mastercard.

How Were Payments Sent?

Payments went out two ways. Paper checks were mailed to claimants who chose a check, and digital payments were emailed to claimants who selected an electronic option. The official settlement website states that digital payment messages were sent from "Realogy TCPA Settlement Administrator" to the email address provided on the claim form. If you chose a digital payment, check your inbox, spam folder, junk folder, and promotions folder for a message from that sender. Mailed checks naturally arrive after the June 16 mailing date, and delivery times can vary.

When Were Settlement Payments Sent?

The court granted final approval on March 18, 2026. According to the official settlement website, payments to qualified class members were then distributed on June 16, 2026. This page no longer reflects a future, unscheduled distribution date — the distribution has taken place.

Can I Still File a Claim?

No. The deadline to file a claim was July 3, 2025, and it has passed. If you are looking for telemarketing cases you can still file, see our list of open class action settlements — for example, the Hy Cite Royal Prestige TCPA robocall settlement was still accepting claims as of mid-2026.
