HomeBridge Financial Services Inc. has announced the launch of a comprehensive Webinar series and online knowledge center to help industry professionals prepare for the major changes that will occur once the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule (TRID) takes effect Saturday, Aug. 1, 2015.
In line with its mission to be the housing industry’s partner for the path ahead, HomeBridge created a special landing page, www.HomeBridge.com/AugustFirst, as a focal point for professionals seeking additional information on how to prepare for the TRID rule implementation.
HomeBridge’s TRID Webinar Series will be broken into five monthly installments, with the first beginning Tuesday, March 24. The Webinars will be conducted one day each month, twice per day, to accommodate the schedules of industry professionals around the country. The Webinars will be led by Phil Schild, HomeBridge’s general counsel and chief compliance officer, along with Grace Currid, HomeBridge’s chief credit officer, two lending industry veterans with significant experience in navigating intricate regulatory changes.
“Long-term success in this industry takes strategic planning. The TILA-RESPA changes are most likely the biggest regulatory challenges our industry has seen in the last 30 years and we all need to start planning now to make the transition as smooth as possible come August,” said Rick Floyd, partner and executive vice president at HomeBridge. “The housing industry is an industry based on partnerships, formal and informal. As a true partner for the industry, HomeBridge is producing this Webinar and video series to share our knowledge and make the TRID rule implementation as easy as possible for everyone involved.”
