Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act helps students identify activities, disclosures and specific job responsibilities that are required by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), one of the many consumer protection laws that govern financial institutions and mortgage lenders. After an overview of the history of the law, its purpose, and the extent of it coverage, the course identifies the eight RESPA disclosures required at different stages of the home buying process and provides examples of each form. After completing this course, students will be able to protect themselves, their financial services institution, and, most importantly, the consumers they assist in the home buying process.
