Homes.com made illegal robocalls, new class action lawsuit claims

Florida resident Robert Eggers filed a class action lawsuit against Homes.com LLC on June 9, 2026, alleging the online real estate platform placed unsolicited prerecorded calls to his cell phone without his consent. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, claims Homes.com violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by calling Eggers three times in May 2026.

Eggers says he never gave the company his number and had no relationship with it. He wants the court to certify a nationwide class that could cover hundreds or thousands of consumers who received similar calls.

What is the TCPA and why does it matter here?

Congress passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 1991 to curb intrusive automated telemarketing. The law bars companies from placing prerecorded or artificial voice calls to a cell phone without the recipient's prior express written consent.

The complaint cites 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii), the provision covering prerecorded calls to cell phones.

Three prerecorded calls in two weeks, lawsuit claims

Eggers claims he received the first call in mid-May 2026 from a 941 area code. When he picked up, a recorded voice said, "Hi, this is Homes.com. Please stay on the line for an agent," according to the lawsuit. He reportedly hung up.

Eggers received a second call followed on May 20 from another 941 number with the same greeting, the suit claims. An investigation on behalf of Eggers' attorneys allegedly found that calling the number connects the person to an automated system identifying itself as Homes.com.

Homes.com reportedly placed a third call May 28 at 6:52 p.m. from a third 941 number. The lawsuit alleges Homes.com left a voicemail with a recorded message that named the company. Eggers claims he called back 27 minutes later and reached another automated system but could not get a live agent.

Why the complaint says the calls broke the law

Eggers states he never provided his number to Homes.com in any context. He claims he does not work in real estate role and had no plans to buy or sell property when he received the calls.

The complaint claims Homes.com placed all three calls without the written consent the TCPA requires before making any automated call to a cell phone. It also highlights consumer complaints posted on ConsumerAffairs and YouMail that describe similar calls tied to Homes.com numbers.

What the case means for consumers

The proposed class would cover everyone in the United States who, in the four years before the June 9, 2026, filing, received a Homes.com call on a cell phone using an artificial or prerecorded voice.

There is no settlement, no claims process and no money available now. Eggers seeks statutory damages, a court order stopping the calls and a declaration that Homes.com violated the TCPA.
