In case helpful for people:

Link: https://dcoagtitleinsurancerestitution.com/

Deadline is May 5, 2026.

You must provide documentation to support your claim, such as a copy of a settlement statement or closing disclosure that shows the title insurance company used and the date of the transaction.

There are a few dozens of open settlements on https://claimchowder.ai (my friends and I started this side project recently - we would love your feedback!!) It's entirely free and we just wanted to make more people aware of the class action settlements they can claim.

what about the agents? I think they need to be part of the defendants.

If you signed a document from the real estate or agent ir both disclosing a financial interest in those companies, your only defense is failure to read or understand what you signed. You have a better chance if they failed to disclose

I am a real estate agent and the settlement companies are also becoming very sloppy. Yesterday, a settlement agent wanted my seller to sign a federal document that was untruthful and became angry when the client would not sign it. I proposed a simple addendum to the contract that would make the document truthful. Whether buying ir selling try to get the documents you are signing in advance and at least make sure the blank spots in boilerplate documents have your correct information.

What was in the doc? This is useless info unless you provide --not even specifics-- but a little more detail.

When we bought our house last year, the seller’s preferred title company was KSV. Our realtor recommended we use their preference as part of our offer. So we used them. I’m unclear if you’re saying we’d be eligible?

Hmmm....that makes me wonder. There is a very big realtor in DC that I know had financial interest in one of these that decided to retire. I wonder if he was facing disciplinary action.

I clicked a bunch of links and I can’t figure out the relevant time period.

How far back in time does the claim cover. I used KVS in DC in 2014.

"sign a federal document that was untruthful"

What does that mean? Untruthful how?
