Re/Max, Anywhere and Keller Williams agreed to collectively pay $208.5 million in proposed class action settlements to resolve claims that they implemented and enforced anticompetitive rules on commissions.

The class is made up of anyone who sold a home during the eligible date range, listed the home that was sold on a multiple listing service (MLS) anywhere in the United States and paid a commission to any real estate brokerage in connection with the home’s sale. The eligible date range varies depending on which MLS the property was listed on; more information is available at RealEstateCommissionLitigation.com.

Three class action lawsuits claimed defendants, including The National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) and the Anywhere, RE/MAX, Keller Williams and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices real estate brokerage firms, required home sellers to pay commissions to the buyer’s broker or agent, causing the sellers to pay inflated total commissions. The defendants allegedly used unlawful and anticompetitive means to enforce these rules.

The defendants have not admitted any wrongdoing but Anywhere, RE/MAX and Keller Williams have agreed to settlements to resolve the class action lawsuit claims.

Under the terms of the Anywhere, Re/Max and Keller Williams settlements, qualifying class members who submit an approved claim form will receive a portion of the net settlement funds after attorneys’ fees, settlement administration costs and other expenses are deducted.

    An Ohio finance influencer is facing federal charges for allegedly running a “fraudulent real estate investment scheme,” bilking investors out of over $11 million, according to a court document filed in U.S. District Court last week.

    Tyler Bossetti, 31, was charged in U.S. District Court in Columbus with wire fraud and aiding the filing of a false or fraudulent document. In a court document, federal prosecutors allege that Bossetti knowingly participated in the four-year scheme in Ohio and elsewhere “to defraud and to deprive another of money and property by materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.

    Court records show that Bossetti entered a plea on April 22, though the details have been sealed. His attorney declined to comment, and Bossetti is scheduled to be arraigned on July 13.

    According to a court document, Bossetti allegedly sought short-term real estate investments from 2019 to 2023 that he intended to buy, renovate, sell, or rent, using social media and “third-party companies” to find investors.

    Bossetti would then promise investors high returns, usually 30% or more, and falsely claim that the investments were risk-free and secured by real estate he owned, prosecutors allege.

    “When making solicitations and executing promissory notes, Bossetti knew that he would not use the investment funds for the purported business and that profits from the purported business could not cover the obligations he was taking on in the promissory notes,” prosecutors said in the court document.

    The finance influencer allegedly spent money he received from investors on cryptocurrency investments and personal expenses, including, “luxury housing and vehicles,” the court document states. He also paid investors with investment funds he received from newer investors instead of business income.

    The court document states that Bossetti allegedly received over $20 million from investors, but the investors, who were not identified, lost over $11 million due to the scheme.

    He’s also accused of helping someone file a false 1099-INT form to the Internal Revenue Service, in which it was claimed that the person earned $4,500 in interest income when they never did. Prosecutors allege this was done to conceal the scheme.

    Bossetti positions himself as a financial consultant online and hosts a podcast called “All For Nothing,” which has 124,000 followers on Instagram. In clips from his podcast posted to social media, Bossetti and his guests provided his audience with financial advice and discussed other topics, including football and reality TV.

    Bossetti has 1,000,000 followers on his personal Instagram page, which is now private.
