Brokers and a number of itemizing providers had till June 18 to opt-in to that deal.

“HomeServices and counsel for the plaintiffs continue to work in good faith to finalize a long-form settlement based on the term sheet we entered into,” Kelly advised Inman.

“We understand that given the deadlines included in the NAR settlement, plaintiffs’ counsel have also been working with numerous other parties on settlements during this time. We look forward to presenting a settlement for consideration by the Court in the very near future.”

“We are currently trying to work out some disagreements with HomeServices’ attorney regarding the company’s obligations under the settlement agreement,” Ketchmark advised Inman in an announcement.
