Exempt Transactions
The New disclosures are required for all closed-end transaction

o HELOC’s
o Reverse Mortgage
o Cash Purchase Transaction
o Loans secured by Mobile Homes and loans secured by a dwelling
that is not attached to land
o Certain housing assistance programs
o Creditor who originate 5 or fewer mortgages in a year
CFPB Goals of the new disclosures
o Improved consumer understanding
o Risk factors
o Short-term and long-term costs
o Monthly payments
o Better comparison shopping
o Comparisons of competing loan offers
o Shopping for closing costs
o Avoid costly surprises at the closing table
o Easier comparisons of the estimated and final
loan terms of the loan
o More time to consider choices
o Limits on closing cost increases
So how does this
affect you, the
Realtor?
So if borrowers need closing disclosures 3 days prior
to closing, let’s take a look at what this means for
the closing process…
The borrower will now need their closing
disclosures 3 days prior to closing.
Disclosure Timing
Contract signed
Make Application
What triggers a new 3-day waiting period for the
Closing Disclosure?
o APR Changes
o Pre-Payment Penalties
o Loan Program Changes
Less Significant Changes
o Can be disclosed on a revised Closing Disclosure form provided to
the consumer at or before closing, without delaying the closing
o Will not cause closing delays for less significant costs that may frequently change
o The Consumer has the right to examine the revised Closing Disclosure on request on the day before closing even without substantial changes
o Seller must receive the revised disclosure no later than day of consummation
Managing Expectations What real estate agents need to know about the
changes to the process
o When writing the contract, how much time is needed for a
closing date?
o When will the appraisal be done?
o When do the conditions of the loan need to be finalized?
o Who are my contacts? Escrow/Mortgage Consultant/Lender or
both?
o When will I know if there is a problem with closing
on time?
Managing the Transaction The Real Estate Agent’s Role
o Stay informed and in communication with all parties
o Possible change in the way the final walkthrough process is completed
o Try to avoid any last minute changes
o Avoid “moving up” closing dates
o Be familiar with the process and how it will affect the contract
o Ultimately, give the closing process enough time to happen, 10 -15, even 20 day closings may be a thing of the past
New Disclosure Misconceptions:
o Walk-throughs will need to be done early enough to leave
room for any new changes that will need to be
re-disclosed for an additional 3 day waiting period
o National Association of Realtors is projecting 45-60 day
closings.
o All Title Companies must be on an approved vendor list

o Ensure borrowers are “pre-approved” as opposed to “pre-
qualified” up front before seeing houses.
Here’s how to keep your buyers and sellers happy
with continued 30 day closings:
o Keep tight communication between you, borrower and
Lender to ensure there aren’t any surprises right before
closing.
o Time is of the essence! Educate buyers on necessity of
providing documents ASAP!
o Embrace technology by using electronic disclosures and
signatures.
o Ensure someone will be present for all required inspections
o Schedule inspections immediately.
o Only accept Pre-approvals from credible, known lenders.
o Select only closing agents that are up to the task.
The Mortgage Firm’s Goals:
We want to close when you, the seller and the buyers want to
close.
o Strive to have the final clear to close a minimum of 5 days
prior to the estimated closing on the contract
o Quick Pre-Approvals
o Provide clear communication with all parties involved
o Maintain reasonable in-house Underwriting timeframes
