A new class-action lawsuit was filed by a former agent against real estate brokerage Keller Williams <\/strong>(KW), contesting alterations made to the company\u2019s profit-sharing program. <\/p>\n There are now a total of five class-action lawsuits against KW challenging the company\u2019s profit-sharing program adjustments. Earlier in March, four agents<\/a> formerly affiliated with Keller Williams<\/a> \u2014 Jerri L. Moulder, David L. Bueker, Robert E. Hill and Kevin Ortiz \u2014 took legal action<\/a> against the real estate brokerage<\/a> by filing four separate class-action lawsuits.<\/p>\n On March 29, Edward Fordyce, who worked on and off with Keller Williams from 2019 to 2022, filed a complaint aiming for class-action status in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania<\/strong> in Philadelphia. Allegations against KW include breach of contract, declaratory judgment and unjust enrichment. Fordyce\u2019s complaint challenges adjustments made to Keller Williams\u2019 profit-sharing program.<\/p>\n In February 2020<\/a>, KW introduced a more restrictive policy to its profit-sharing program. It stated that associates who joined the brokerage on or after April 1, 2020, and subsequently jumped to a competitor would lose their revenues from the company\u2019s lifelong revenue program. But that policy did not impact agents who joined before April 1, 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n
