Flood & RESPA Guidelines are relevant to all mortgage lenders. Insuring residential portfolios requires a combination of lender-placed insurance, blanket insurance for HELOCS and Condominiums as well as strict adherence to RESPA and Flood regulations.
Protecting your borrower relationships requires proper use of advanced technology and well-trained tracking agents.
Adherence to Flood & RESPA regulations not only reduces the risk of regulatory scrutiny, but it also better positions your organization for financial success in the Residential Market.
When RESPA was signed into law in December 1974, its intent was to provide consumers protection from abusive practices during the real estate settlement process.
It protects through education, regulation of escrow accounts, and prevention of kickbacks, as well as outlining mortgage servicing requirements that affect insurance tracking service providers, especially when it comes to force-placed insurance.
