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.
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
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.
