CFPB Addendum • Developed by Real Property Section, CBA • Long Document – Education – Timing – Adjustments or prorations – Boards may adopt some version
CFPB Addendum (wait!, there’s more!) • Timing – All figures at least 10 days ahead of closing – If seller or seller’s attorney don’t provide. . . • How will that sit? • Fuel – December- March- 4 gallons per day – Alternatives: fill the tank or measure 10 days out and that’s it
Ok, So Now What? • Lots of Players and Moving Parts – Competitive situations will cause changes • Settlement agents – i. e. Attorneys • Lenders • Agents • Sellers
Lenders • Scared to Death – CFPB eats what it kills. It lives off fines and penalties – Now responsible for their subcontractors • Will keep a death grip on all aspects of the transaction • Very little opportunity to test new systems – There will be issues – There will be errors and reversals of policy – They will blame the CFPB for everything
Settlement Agents • New costs and burdens – “Best Practices” compliance – Hardware and software – Ethical issues • If the lender is telling you what to do and how to do it, who are you representing? • Consolidation among settlement agents • Coping with assembling all of the numbers well ahead of closing- when some of the numbers may not be available
Licensees • Will licensees be the center of the transaction? • Will attorneys be readily available to handle problems – Closing “mills” • Information earlier in the transaction – Commission statements accurate – Work done to resolve inspection issues – Don’t count on post-closing escrows • Managing seller expectations – CFPB has put seller out in left field
Licensees (cont. ) • Fuel and other adjustments – Full tank? – NLCB method – CFPB Addendum
Licensees (cont. ) • Watch closing dates – End of month – Time needed from “clear to close” • Update forms – Hiccups within 10 days of closing may result in delays – “Broom clean” • Service will be as important as rate and term – You don’t want to be depending on a bad airport
