Built Podcast
The people behind our built world
Look at any skyline or landscape and you’ll see apartments, hotels, offices, and warehouses that we all benefit from every day. But what you don’t see are the people who make those structures possible. Meet the professionals behind some of the biggest transactions and investments in commercial real estate and hear their stories of how they got to where they are today. Every story is unique, every property is individual, but we’re all part of this built world. Hosted by Brian Maughan, Chief Marketing Officer, Fidelity National Financial.
CFPB Readiness
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Know before you close. Any residential loan originated on or after October 3, 2015 is subject to the new rules and forms set forth by the CFPB. The Rule replaces the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and early TILA form with the new Loan Estimate. It also replaces the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and final TILA form with the new Closing Disclosure. We have created this important reference for employees and customers, with specific information for realtors, lenders, attorneys, escrow agents and consumers, respectively.
