TRANSPARENCY vs. TECHNOLOGY Competitive Strategies for Multiple Offer Situations

In today’s digital age, technology gives Realtors an array of options for expedited communication. With this cultural shift comes a rise in accepting offers via electronic submission.

While faxing in or e-mailing buyers’ offers is undoubtedly time-efficient for the seller, efficiency shouldn’t be the primary concern when selling an asset as profitable as a home.

Key Facts About the

NEW HOME

LOAN PROCESSES

Bay Area buyers and sellers should take note of the significant disclosure changes set to take effect Oct. 3. Known as TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules, these changes will directly affect buyers seeking mortgages, and sellers considering financed offers. To better understand what’s ahead, we discussed the specifics with Michael Iorio, President of Private Mortgage Advisors, LLC, compiling fundamental changes and helpful tips for buyers and sellers.

lender and know the mortgage company’s capabilities.

“The TRID rules are being implemented to provide the borrower more transparency, and more time as they consider making the biggest purchase of their lives,” says Iorio. “It’s all being done to increase borrower knowledge, protection, and consumer education.”

However, these TRID rules will not apply to reverse mortgages, home equity, or mortgages secured by a mobile home that isn’t permanently attached to land.

While it may sound easy to prepare CDs, a mortgage company may be dealing with a hundred loans per month. With that said they must be properly staffed, familiar with the new TRID regulations, and have the right systems in place to ensure success.

On the other side of the spectrum, sellers should be both understanding and knowledgeable about where the buyer’s financing derives from to ensure they can close escrow on time. Iorio also recommends that
