Real Estate Lawsuits Heat Up

Homebuyers in the Batton case are seeking court approval for $28.5 million in settlements with Keller Williams and REMAX, following earlier real estate commission lawsuits — while CoStar Group presses ahead with its copyright battle against Zillow, accusing the platform of illegally using its photos, a claim Zillow denies, blaming landlords instead. The plaintiffs argue the settlements are fair and are also asking for over $14 million in legal fees and bonuses for lead plaintiffs. CoStar counters that Zillow is avoiding accountability, citing other pending lawsuits against the company. This legal tug-of-war reveals the high-stakes, fast-evolving conflicts reshaping real estate tech — with outcomes that could redefine industry norms.
