RESPA, or the real estate Settlement Procedures Act, is a U.S. federal law that aims to protect consumers during the home buying and mortgage process. It requires lenders to provide borrowers with clear disclosures about the costs associated with the settlement process, including loan terms and fees. RESPA also prohibits kickbacks and referral fees that can increase the cost of settlement services. Overall, its primary goal is to promote transparency and fairness in real estate transactions.
