Best Practices for Lender / Title Communication under the New Rule |

When the final RESPA rule was handed down, it was understood that all industry players would have to drastically change their relationships and communication practices. At the GFE stage, loan originators would need timely, accurate information from the settlement side – and at the HUD-1 stage, the opposite. So now that the new rule is finally here, how much has really changed? How, and where in the process, can communication be improved?
In Bridging the RESPA Gap, we explore the early-going of the revised GFE and HUD-1 forms. You’ll walk away with a wide range of usable tips, advice and best practices for lender/title communication from our industry experts.

| 2010 HUD Guidance on the RESPA Final Rule |
 |
In the first half-year of RESPA, HUD has made itself increasingly visible to the industry in an effort to aid in the implementation of the final rule. While these trade association events, training sessions and Webinars have helped many members of the lending and title communities, HUD said it is still seeing inconsistencies and problems with the way the new GFE and HUD-1 are being implemented.
In this exclusive special report from RESPA News, we cover inconsistencies HUD has seen regarding preapprovals, filling out block 1 on Page 2 of the GFE, loan originator compensation and YSP disclosure, administration and processing fees, moving and itemizing fees and much, much more.
