This case was brought by four individuals who purchased or sold homes and paid real estate commissions to one or more of the defendant real estate brokerage firms. Plaintiffs bring the complaint on their own behalf and as a class action representing other consumers who purchased or sold real estate in Kentucky, alleging that the defendants formed an agreement to fix real estate commissions at an "industry-standard" 6%. Plaintiffs seek treble damages from all defendants, alleging an agreement among the defendants to fix real estate commissions, and also alleging that the ban on paying consumers commission rebates approved and implemented by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission enabled the conspiracy, facilitated price fixing, and inhibited price competition. Settlements have been reached (pending court approval) with all of the defendants except Coldwell Banker McMahan Company and one other defendant.
