The amended Taylor suit keeps RESPA referral allegations in play and gives loan officers another reminder to keep lead-source and referral compliance clean.

The Zillow RESPA lawsuit known as the Taylor suit has been amended again, with HousingWire reporting on August 18, 2026 that a third amended complaint renews RESPA claims involving Zillow and ZHL, while narrowing the plaintiff group to five people.

For mortgage professionals, the case matters because it centers on alleged RESPA issues tied to mortgage referrals and lead generation, an area where even the appearance of steering or paid referral influence can create compliance headaches. HousingWire also reported that the amended complaint cites a study estimating $2,881 higher costs per ZHL loan, but the supplied material does not confirm the study’s source, methodology, or whether Zillow disputes it.
