HUD Announces Road to RESPA Reform

In case you haven't heard, HUD has announced a strategy for developing consensus on a rule to reform the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). The process involves a series of round table discussions with members of industry, consumer groups, and regulators from HUD, all facilitated by Dr. Charles G. Field. The good Doctor is currently a senior research fellow at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy where he teaches negotiation and conflict resolution.

NAMB is invited to each of the round tables, 3 hosted by HUD in Washington, D.C. and 3 hosted by the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL; and Fort Worth, TX. Additionally, FAMB Secretary Kelly Guldi will be one of the members attending the Chicago round table on August 4th.
