RESPA News is the number-one independent resource for breaking news, features and analysis on all things pertaining to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Since 2003, the RESPA News team has been — and remains — the only full-time, independent newsroom dedicated to the rule and its ongoing reform.

We regularly provide insight on topics like RESPA reform, the future of RESPA and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, pertinent case law, the intersection of RESPA and state laws, and new enforcement trends. The resource also includes highly practical RESPA Q&A’s, a “Tip Jar,” a “This Week in Washington” column, TILA news and our newest feature, the “Dodd-Frank Update” page.

RESPA News and RESPANews.com are published by October Research Corporation, the nation’s leading provider of market intelligence, business news and state-by-state legal and regulatory information for the mortgage, real estate and settlement services industries.
