On February 27, 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced the dismissal of its enforcement lawsuit against Rocket Homes Real Estate, a unit of Rocket Companies. The CFPB had previously accused Rocket Homes of providing illegal kickbacks to real estate agents. This dismissal is a significant legal victory for Rocket Companies.
The CFPB issued a notice of voluntary dismissal for the case, using similar language for other dismissed cases, indicating the action was 'with prejudice.' This means the CFPB has agreed to never bring these specific claims again, effectively shutting off the possibility of clawing back funds for consumer relief related to these allegations.
This development removes a major regulatory overhang and potential financial liability that Rocket Homes faced. The company lauded the news, stating that Rocket Homes has always connected buyers with top-performing agents based on objective criteria.
