flag Zillow sued over alleged deception in its Flex program and listing rules, claiming hidden fees inflate commissions.

flag Zillow is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging its Flex program and listing policies misled consumers, potentially inflating real estate commissions. flag The suit claims Zillow directs buyers to agents who pay up to 40% of their commission to the company—over $2 billion in revenue last year—without clear disclosure. flag Plaintiffs argue that using Zillow’s “Contact Agent” feature leads buyers to believe they’re reaching the listing broker, not a Zillow-affiliated agent, obscuring the financial arrangement and possibly driving up prices. flag The lawsuit also challenges Zillow’s 24-hour listing rule, seen as anticompetitive, and is linked to prior antitrust actions. flag It seeks damages for U.S. buyers who used Zillow-referred agents in the past four years under federal and state laws. flag Zillow denies the claims, calling them inaccurate and pledging a strong defense.
