MV Realty to allow Florida homeowners out of 40-year contracts
Briefly

MV Realty has faced significant criticism and legal challenges since November 2022, when Florida's attorney general accused the company of violating state consumer protection laws. The firm's Homeowner Benefit Agreements (HBAs) lock homeowners into 40-year terms, granting MV Realty exclusive listing rights in exchange for upfront cash, with steep penalties for early termination. As of February 2023, MV Realty paused new agreements amid investigations and lawsuits from multiple states, including California, where a preliminary injunction halted the enforcement of the HBAs. In September 2023, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but withdrew the request shortly after.
MV Realty's controversial Homeowner Benefit Agreements have been criticized for exploiting homeowners, particularly through strict terms that bind them for 40 years with high penalties.
Following legal action from multiple states, MV Realty has paused new agreements, reflecting ongoing scrutiny over its business practices and concerns of consumer protection.
