Justice Linda S. Jamieson just certified a class action against Houlihan Lawrence Inc. covering roughly 10,000 dual-agency transactions from 2011 to 2018. Plaintiffs allege systematic undisclosed dual agency, bonus incentives for in-house deals, and forged disclosure forms. The firm controlled 80% of all $2M+ transactions in Bronxville. Houlihan Lawrence is owned by HomeServices of America (Berkshire Hathaway affiliate). If the class prevails, restitution could total hundreds of millions.
