A Date with Section 8 — What You Can And Can’t Pay For

Compliance
Free to attend

We get it - this is new and fresh, and you’re wondering - is it too soon to ask your new referral partner to chip in for their meal? Should we go stag or do I look cheap for bringing a “buy 1, get 1” coupon to this dinner?

Even the best first dates can go sideways with one awkward misstep and in mortgage lending, RESPA Section 8 is where that happens fast. A well-intentioned referral or payment decision can quickly turn into a serious compliance problem.

Join MaxClass CEO LaDonna Lockard and compliance expert Jeana Lanktree for an engaging and practical webinar that breaks down exactly what you can and can’t charge under Section 8 of RESPA. Whether you’re working through lender fees, third-party services, or navigating the fine line between permissible and prohibited payments, this session will give you the clarity you need to stay compliant and confident.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the purpose and scope of RESPA Section 8
  • Identify what qualifies as an illegal kickback or unearned fee
  • Recognize high-risk fee scenarios that trigger regulatory scrutiny
  • Strengthen your understanding of what’s fees can be shared with your marketing partner
