Practice Of Real EstateSettlement_procedures_RESPA_TRIDHARD

Under RESPA and TRID, all of the following are prohibited practices EXCEPT.

Correct Answer

B) A lender providing the borrower with a list of approved settlement service providers from which the borrower may choose

RESPA Section 9 bars a seller from conditioning the sale on the buyer's use of a named title company, Section 8(a) bars anything of value given or accepted for referring settlement service business, and Section 8(b) bars unearned fees for work no one performed. Handing the borrower a written list of providers the lender finds acceptable is the opposite of those abuses: the borrower may pick from the list or shop elsewhere, and nothing of value changes hands for a referral. The TRID rules assume the lender will supply such a list whenever a service is one the borrower may shop for.
