4 I s sa & s u e by n s w e r s Janie Bays RESPA Rule Taking Effect on January 1, 2010 (Source: NAR REALTOR Magazine and The New RESPA regulations are scheduled to take full effect on January 1, The New RESPA rule was published November 17, The goal of the new rule is to help consumers more easily understand settlement costs and prevent big price discrepancies between the preliminary Good Faith Estimate and the HUD-1 Settlement Statement that s presented at closing. Here s a look at the main changes. Following are links which will provide you with more information on the new rule: Main RESPA: Click Here ( RESPA Final Rule: Click Here ( New RESPA Rule FAQs: Click Here ( Comprised from industry questions and posted to facilitate implementation of these new requirements. NAR RESPA Webinars: Click Here ( These Webinars will give you an overview of the changes. Simplified Forms: The new GFE and HUD-1 forms are intended to be easier for consumers to understand and aim to increase transparency by requiring lenders to calculate yield-spread premiums as part of their origination fee. Good Faith Estimate Form (GFE): Click Here ( HUD-1 Settlement Statement: Click Here ( Fewer Cost Fluctuations: The new forms will no longer allow lenders to change certain costs between the GFE and the HUD-1 forms. Costs that cannot be altered include the origination fee and transfer taxes. Some third-party costs, such as title searches and inspections, can change, but they re limited to a maximum change of 10 percent. (Effective date: Jan. 1, 2010*) 30-day Cure Period: At the closing table, if costs have changed more than the 10 percent limit, the deal can close, but the cost discrepancies must be worked out within 30 days. (Effective date: Jan. 1, 2010*) *Lenders that choose to use the new GFE and HUD-1 forms before the effective date must immediately abide by the new rules on cost discrepancies and calculating the yield-spread premium. Are You Totally Confused Now? You re in luck...attorney Monica Wittrock will be at GTAR on January 7, 2010 to teach What the 2010 RESPA Changes Mean to Me and My Business a new course specifically designed to help you understand how the RESPA changes will impact you as a real estate professional. And, you will be able to earn 3 hours of required (HOT) CE credit to boot! (See page 9 for details.) 4 December 2009
