    I viewed both website links provided. The activerain blog article pretty much says that we should through out the law if it can't be enforced. Although I would never advocate doing that, he does make a good point. If we're going to reform RESPA on the residential side then we should also make sure HUD has enough funds to enforce their own rules. One observation on the link to his personal business website, if I were a person working in the residential sector and wanted to utilize this guy in order to earn a referral fee, I would for sure want to check with my own company to see if there are any policies against receiving such a fee, state laws, and also federal laws that might prohibit receiving such a fee. Full disclosure to one's client seems prudent.

  • Lonny asks: "How do you make

    Lonny asks: "How do you make a group of folks who may overcharge based on opportunity live by some broad guidelines imposed by a Government entity." There never has been nor will there ever be enough government resources to regulate every single licensee and every single transaction. I've been writing about this for years here on Inman and elswhere. The mortgage industry must begin to self-regulate ethical conduct, much like attorneys do. Tell all the attorney jokes you want but when we really need a good attorney, they are worth their fee. The legal industry ruthlessly regulates their Code of Ethics. At this point in time NAMB, MBAA, NAPMW, or any other national association is regulating ethical conduct of mortgage lending workers. This leaves room for other associations to rise up and fill that space. I am attempting to do this with the Nat'l Assoc. of Mortgage Fiduciaries, I know that the Mortgage Professor was associated with the Upfront Mortgage Brokers Assoc, there are other national groups out there as well. It's time for the mortgage industry to transform into a profession with a prescriptive code of ethics, much like Realtors did over 100 years ago. Some mortgage folks are already there, others will have to be pulled kicking and screaming. Question for the Mortgage Professor or anyone who might know the answer: How does the U.K. regulate ethical conduct of loan originators?

  • Richard, The ethical

    Richard, The ethical investors need to weed out the foreclosure rescue scam artists. Next define what it means to be an "ethical investor," write down the definitions (as a group) and then rigorously hold your members accountable to those standards. Realtors did this over 100 years ago. The entire world would welcome this. So, Chief Deal Weaver, does this sound like something you'd be willing to step up and take on? Until then, federal and state regulators are going to have to clean up your industry for you.
