Communicating with Consumers About Class Notice

Be prepared to answer questions from consumers about the pending “class notice.” The class notice is a court-approved process through which members of the “Settlement Class”—home sellers who sold a home during the eligible date ranges, the home was sold on an MLS anywhere in the U.S., and paid a commission to a real estate brokerage in connection with the sale of the home—will be informed about NAR’s proposed settlement of the Sitzer-Burnett case.

Notices will be distributed by mail and electronically. Class notice informs class members of their rights, options, and deadlines to exercise those rights and options under the proposed settlement.

Consumers in your area may have already received a notice regarding separate settlements made by certain brokerage firms; however, this notice will be new and address NAR’s settlement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NAR does not manage the class notice process. NAR members that receive questions from consumers should direct them to the settlement website where they can find relevant information. You may also direct them to call the settlement administrator at 888-995-0207, for additional guidance. NAR members should refrain from further advising consumers on class notice.
