On October 1st, 2015 new federal legislation went into effect that changed the loan disclosures that borrowers receive in real estate transactions and added specific procedures and waiting periods to the timeline of the closing process. This new legislation is known as TRID
The purpose of the new legislation was to make the mortgage process more transparent and easier to understand for consumers & add waiting periods to allow consumers time tpo review and understand their forms and disclosures prior to closing. The most important items to understand are:
Coordinate with your Mortgage Broker well in advance of your closing to ensure you understand the new forms and waiting requirements so you can manage your closing date effectively.

Good Faith Estimate
Truth-in-Lending (TIL)
