$20M Coldwell Banker real estate calls class action settlement

The parent company of Coldwell Banker, Realogy Holdings Corp., has agreed to a $20 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) with unsolicited phone calls.

The Realogy settlement benefits individuals who received two or more telemarketing calls from a Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agent using a Mojo, PhoneBurner and/or Storm dialer within a 12-month period on a phone number that appeared on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days between June 11, 2015, and Dec. 3, 2020.

The class action settlement also benefits individuals who received a call from a Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agent that included an artificial or prerecorded message between June 11, 2015, and Dec. 3, 2020.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit say Realogy Holdings Corp. violated the TCPA with unsolicited phone calls that used a dialer system and included prerecorded messages. 

According to the Realogy TCPA class action lawsuit, these calls violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which requires businesses to obtain express written consent before contacting consumers for telemarketing purposes.

Realogy Holdings Corp., now known as Anywhere Real Estate, is a real estate company that owns several brands, including Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, ERA and Sotheby’s International Realty.

Realogy hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $20 million class action settlement to resolve the TCPA allegations.

Under the terms of the Coldwell Banker real estate call settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund, estimated at around $281 if 15% of class members submit a valid claim. Actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 3, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Realogy settlement is scheduled for Aug. 28, 2025.

To receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 3, 2025.
