  1. Chapter 16________________Title Closing and Escrow

  2. Buyer’s Walk-Through This is the final inspection of the property just prior to closing to make certain that the premises have been vacated, no damage has occurred, agreed personal property is left behind, and that no real property has been removed.

  10. NEW RESPA REGULATIONS On November 12, 2008, HUD announced its new mortgage rules to help consumers shop for lower cost home loans. HUD published a new Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form that more clearly answers key questions when applying for a mortgage, including the loan terms: prepayment penalties, closing costs, balloon payments, and whether or not the interest rate is fixed or is adjustable.

  11. New HUD-1 Settlement Statement that allows consumers to easily compare their final closing costs and loan terms with those listed on the new GFE. The rules also require that payments to mortgage brokers will be disclosed in a more meaningful way to help buyers select the lowest cost loan.
