Real estate agents love it when loan officers give them referrals. That’s not always easy. Is giving a real estate agent a book on becoming a productive and well-respected real estate agent a RESPA violation? How about an all-expense paid trip? Attorney Brian Levy points out in his latest Mortgage Musings (chock full of Rolling Stone song references) how it matters whether the “thing of value” is offered in return for referrals or is just ordinary business promotional activity. LOs know that working with real estate agents is a numbers game. (How many loan officers contact the listing agent when a property goes on the market to ask for a referral?) Did you know that on any given day there are about 61,000 people in airplanes above the United States? (I think that number is light.) I mention this because Heathrow Airport in London is taking the unconventional step of capping the daily number of passengers at 100,000 per day for the rest of the summer. Heathrow was h ....

At the city-level, in the last few months I’ve spent a fair amount of time in New York City. Affor ....
On Sunday, here in Hawai’i, and everywhere else I guess, is Lei Day. I was all set to go down the 5th grade joke path, until I saw this story about napping and ran out of room in today’s commentary. Utah’s Michael Pickard thought he was allowed to take a nap at work. He fell asleep and was fired a week later. The Labor Commission ultimately sided with Pickard, finding his dismissal to be either discriminatory or retaliatory, and now a Utah state appeals court has agreed. Regulators, courts, and the lending business all go hand-in-hand. The pricing margins that lenders and banks have help ensure that compliance departments function, buybacks can be handled, and legal matters dealt with. For example, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency entered into a Consent Order with Anchorage Digital Bank, which requires Anchorage to create a compliance committee and take steps to remediate alleged shortcomings with respect to the implementation and effectiveness of Anch ....
