Zillow Group Inc. and three Preferred Agent partners have asked a federal court in Washington state to dismiss a consolidated class-action lawsuit challenging Zillow’s agent referral and mortgage-related tools. In the Feb. 20 filing, Zillow argued the plaintiffs’ latest amended complaint still fails to adequately state any claim, saying its agent-connection features and optional pre-approval letters are free, optional, and do not restrict consumers’ choice of agent or lender. Zillow said it will fight the case and maintains the allegations mischaracterize how its platform operates.
