The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a statement on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, stating that its enforcement of the TILA-RESPA INTEGRATED DISCLOSURES (“TRID”) will be sensitive to mortgage lenders making a good faith effort to enforce the new rule. Richard Cordray, Director of the CFPB, addressed the statement to Senators Joe Donnelly and Tim Scott, and recognized that the implementation of TRID will post challenges to industry professionals. Cordray also outlined the CFPB’s plan for implementing the new rule.

Cordray was also adamant that TRID would not delay most closings, and clarified the three circumstances under which an additional 3-day review period, or re-disclosure, will be required:

Cordray closed his statement by saying that the CFPB’s support of the implementation of TRID will not end on August 1, and that regulators will be sensitive to lenders making good-faith efforts to enforce the new rule. To read the full statement, click here.

While this is a step in the right direction, both Congress and the mortgage industry quickly responded that still more was needed.

“Nearly 300 Senators and House Members have written to Director Cordray asking for a formalized hold harmless,” said U.S. Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) and Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) in a joint statement. “Anything short of that is unacceptable.”

INTHICUM, MD, April 27, 2015 — NFM Lending congratulates Jane Floyd, a Branch Manager in Tampa, FL, for earning two rankings on the Scotsman Guide’s 2014 Top Originators lists.

“I, along with all of our NFM family, would like to congratulate Jane and her team on her outstanding numbers and her current ranking amongst her peers in both volume and units,” said David Silverman, CEO of NFM Lending. “Jane is a phenomenal time manager, as she juggles being a top performer with coaching and still putting her relationships and family first.”

Each year, the Scotsman Guide recognizes top producing mortgage loan originators throughout the United States. Originators can be ranked in any of the ten categories, including Top Dollar Volume, Most Loans Closed, and Top Purchase Volume, among others. Floyd was ranked in both the Top Dollar Volume category as well as Most Loans Closed. She ranked #172 of 300 in the Top Dollar Volume category, and #82 of 150 in the Most Loans Closed category.

“It’s only a matter of time that Jane Floyd will break the top ten of all Loan Originators nationwide,’ said Jan Ozga, President of NFM Lending. “Jane is the gold standard in the mortgage industry, and there are very few people that come close to matching her energy.”

Over 1,000 Originators from across the nation were considered for this year’s rankings. To be considered for the rankings, entrants must have either had at least $30 million in loan volume, or closed 100 home loans in the 2014 calendar year. Floyd had over $65 million in loan volume, and closed 302 loans in 2014.

“I am so grateful to be ranked in the Scotsman guide,” said Floyd. “It’s an amazing feeling to know we helped that many families achieve the dream of home ownership. I could not have done it without such an amazing company behind me.”

NFM Lending is proud of Floyd’s accomplishments and wishes her continued success.
