The new RESPA rule has
forced lenders and title
agents to retool every
facet of their procedures
from the first request for a
title search, to the finalization
of the loan
package back to the
lender’s desk. Real estate agents, underestimating
the impact the rule would have on them, largely
avoided training opportunities but are now seeking
insight from their title insurance providers.
While some see the new rule as an administrative
quagmire, others see the growing needs of their
clients as a golden opportunity to expand their
reach through a robust marketing program aimed at
filling the gap created by the rule.
Agents who are prepared, flexible and willing to
take on an educational role in their local market will
discover a significant marketing advantage.
