Redfin disclosed to regulators on Monday that it will pay $9.25 million to end claims that it caused home sellers to pay inflated commissions under rules set by the National Association of Realtors, allowing the company to exit a class action that ensnared several brokerage firms.
The online real estate listings platform told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission it had entered into a settlement term sheet last week to resolve allegations that it conspired with NAR by following the rules, making Redfin the latest company to sign deals to leave the litigation after the trade group agreed to pay $418 million earlier this year.
