Zillow is seeking to have the consolidated Taylor-Armstrong Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) lawsuit dismissed.
The real estate giant filed its motion to dismiss in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Friday.
The lawsuit, which was consolidated in early December, began in mid-September, when plaintiff Alucard Taylor filed his initial complaint. Taylor alleged that the portal tricks consumers into using agents affiliated with Zillow through its Flex and Premier Agent programs, resulting in inflated home purchase prices.
In an amended complaint filed in mid-November, Taylor also alleged that Zillow violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) details ⇒
