NAR’s Real Estate Services program hosted a Webinar on April 5, 2017 with Mitch Kider, the Chairman and Managing Partner of Weiner Brodsky Kider PC, on co-marketing in a digital age under RESPA. Mitch discussed real estate professionals’ social media and web-based marketing tools, focusing on issues raised by the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA) and co-marketing efforts between settlement service providers.
The video edition of the quarterly report, from the NAR YouTube channel, analyzes legal trends in risk management areas that effect real estate professionals: Agency, PCD, RESPA, Technology and Third Party Liability.
REALTORS® won big when a federal appeals court slammed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for a RESPA referral fine it levied on a mortgage company that was following HUD rules.
The Voice for Real Estate video this week also looks at the drop in delays one year after new closing rules took effect. It also looks at why it will take a few years before the Rural Housing Service can use delegated underwriting like FHA.
And NAR scores a win when an FHA handbook is changed to remove a provision that would have required appraisers to act more like home inspectors when it comes to appliances.
