CFPB: What The Heck Is This? STOP And Watch This Video!

Written by Joel Gerber. Posted in CFPB

If you are a Realtor you MUST watch this video. I know, I know, the real estate market is booming and you barely have time to eat or sleep. But trust me, this is important stuff and you must start preparing now.

What if I told you the HUD-1 settlement statement is being replaced by something called a Closing Disclosure? What if I told you the buyer had to receive a copy of the Closing Disclosure at least three days before closing – or you don’t close? You probably wouldn’t believe me. It’s happening, but these changes will ensure a smoother, less stressful closing for you and your client.
