TRID is an acronym for TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures. The Dodd-Frank Act required the CFPB to combine disclosure documents to improve compliance and help borrowers understand loan terms. This regulation is known as TRID. The major changes are outlined here. We don’t want you to worry about reading all 1,888 pages of regulation. So, we’ve created this guide that includes everything you need to know, what to expect and how to handle it!

Loan Application & Integrated Documents

ABOUT THE FORMS CHANGES

LOAN APPLICATION

LOAN ESTIMATE

CLOSING DISCLOSURE

The major change TRID brings for realtors is the integrated documents. Four documents have now been made into two – the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure. The forms mirror each other at application and closing, so your clients can easily compare and address changes. Also, less information is required on loan applications.


06

Loan Application No “catch all” item!

07

Under the new TILA-RESPA ruling, a loan application is defined as the collection of these 6 items: 1) borrower’s name, 2) borrower’s social security number, 3) borrower income, 4) property address, 5) estimate of property value, and 6) mortgage loan amount. The “catch all” seventh item is no longer required to complete the mortgage application.

NAME SSN INCOME

ADDRESS VALUE AMOUNT


Loan Estimate Two forms become one, simple!

08

Good Faith Estimates and Truth in Lending Disclosures forms will be combined into a new three (3) page form, the Loan Estimate or “LE”. Loan Estimates must be delivered to the borrower within three (3) business days of taking a loan application. The purpose of the LE is to provide borrowers with the lender’s costs as accurately as possible.

GFE LOAN ESTIMATE TIL + =


Closing Disclosure Just an integrated form!

09

Another major form integration replaces the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and final TIL disclosure with the Closing Disclosure or “CD”. The new five (5) page CD must be delivered to the borrower at least three (3) business days prior to closing. The days of the one-day delivery requirement for the HUD-1 are behind us. Changes in the loan terms could trigger an additional three-day waiting period, even with the “bona fide financial emergency” exception.

HUD-1 CLOSING DISCLOSURE FINAL TIL + =


3 Day Disclosures What 3 Day Disclosures means for you and your clients

10

Lenders will responsible for delivering the Closing Disclosure to clients at least three business days prior to closing. This ensures that clients have enough time to review the terms of the loan before they get to the closing table. The Closing Disclosure will mirror the information contained on the Loan Estimate so it’s easy for clients to compare any changes.

Last minute changes that alter the loan terms will be difficult as they

may trigger a new 3-day waiting period. These major changes include an

increase of the APR, the addition of a prepayment penalty or changes in

the loan product. There is flexibility with small, typical changes of the

purchase transaction such as problems discovered on walk-throughs.

These changes will simply require an updated disclosure.

TIMELINE The timely delivery of new forms and documents will be critical to ensure that your closings go smoothly. A timeline of the new closing process is shown on the following page.

CALENDAR A calendar is helpful to track your timeline to closing. See our calendar to be sure you are on track with the 3 day disclosure rule.

What does TRID mean for your clients?

Realtors and lenders are often at the center at the closing table. Familiarize yourself with the new practices so you can provide the best experience for your clients.

Open the Lines of Communication Open the lines of communication between you, your clients and the lender. Avoid last minute changes by keeping your client informed every step of the way. If anything does happen to change the transaction, be sure to communicate and confirm those changes with all parties.

Build the Dream Team Build your dream team of people you can rely on to provide complete and accurate information for your clients. Any hiccup in sharing information will slow down your process significantly. The lender you choose will be the answer to keeping you on your timeline and closing quick.

Understand the Changes Get familiar with the new disclosure documents. Four

disclosures have now been integrated into two documents to improve compliance and help borrowers understand their loans.

Create A Timeline Realtors should develop new timelines and practices to

adhere to these changes. Aim to prepare documents 7 days prior to closing so your clients have enough time to

review the loan and make changes if needed. Consider doing two walk-throughs with your clients.
