"Murch claims she received several more calls over the next year, including calls in early June 2025 from another Compass agent Ansel Sanger, who was seeking to sell the same property Olson reached out about."
"Compass claims that Murch's complaint, which is seeking class action status, fails to establish that Compass is liable for the alleged phone calls to Plaintiff."
"The brokerage goes on to claim that its policies, which Murch included in her complaint, show that Compass does not condone communication like that alleged in the complaint and explicitly prohibits that type of communication."
"Because Plaintiff cannot plead a viable theory of vicarious liability as a matter of law, the Court should grant Compass's Motion to Dismiss and dismiss Plaintiff's claims against Compass with prejudice."
Murch claims she received multiple unwanted calls from Compass agents despite requesting no further contact. Compass filed a motion to dismiss, arguing it cannot be held liable for the actions of independent contractors Olson and Sanger. The brokerage asserts that its policies prohibit such communication and that Murch's complaint fails to establish a viable theory of vicarious liability. Compass expresses confidence that Murch's allegations are baseless and has requested oral arguments for its motion to dismiss. A similar lawsuit against Keller Williams was voluntarily dismissed last year.
