This Real Estate Lawsuit Could Mean a Check for You (Seriously — This Is Real!)💰

Kim and I wanted to personally let you know about something important that could mean money back in your pocket. 💵

A major legal settlement involving the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) is making headlines—and if you sold a home in the past few years, you may be eligible to file a claim and receive compensation.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

✅ Did you sell a home between October 31, 2019 and August 17, 2024?
✅ Was the home listed on an MLS (Multiple Listing Service)?
✅ Did you pay a commission to a real estate brokerage at the time of sale?
If you answered yes to all three, you may qualify for a cash settlement.

🔗 CLICK BELOW to visit the official site to check eligibility and file a claim:

🗓 Claim deadline: May 9, 2025

We’re sharing this with all of our past clients and friends because we believe good information is worth sharing—especially when it might put money back in your hands.

While this isn’t legal advice, we’re happy to help track down any documents or details you might need from your past transaction. Just reach out—we’ve got you!

Thank you for always thinking of Kim and me when it comes to real estate. Whether it’s buying, selling, investing, or just staying informed, we’re here for you.

The Big Difference Between Renter and Homeowner Net Worth

If you’re torn between renting or buying, don’t forget to factor in the wealth-building power of homeownership. Unlike renters, homeowners gain equity as they pay their mortgage and as home values rise. That’s why, on average, a homeowner’s net worth is nearly 40x higher than a renter’s. Let’s connect if you want to learn more about the financial benefits of homeownership or the programs that can help make buying possible.
