This week Governor Schwarzenegger signed several pieces of legislation into law that will affect real estate transactions in the state of California - all for the better!

SB 36, by Senator Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), creates licensing requirements for all residential loan originators. I feel this licensing requirement is long overdue and will hopefully create some additional accountability for mortgage lending professionals. SB 237, by Senator Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), creates a registration program for appraisal management firms. Also sorely needed...these AMC's have created some additional (and likely unintended) quality and timing issues for appraisals. SB 239, by Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), makes it a felony to commit fraud on a mortgage loan application. DUH - this is a no-brainer! AB 260, by Assemblyman Ted Lieu (D-Torrance), bans negative-amortization loans and limits mortgage prepayment penalties to no more than 2% of the loan balance. AB 329, by Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), requires lenders to give more and clearer information to those interested in reverse mortgages, which let seniors borrow against their homes' equity. AB 957, by Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani (D-Stockton), allows buyers of foreclosed homes to choose local escrow officers, rather than being forced to use the escrow company chosen by the bank seller...I sure hope banks cooperate with this one. they may opt to accept the offer of another buyer that allows the bank seller to select its preferred escrow company. AB 1160, by Assemblyman Paul Fong (D-Cupertino), requires that mortgage loan documents be written in the same language the verbal negotiations were conducted in. previousnext Email Alerts Send to a Friend Post to Facebook Post to Twitter RSS View RSS feed Add to Google Add to My Yahoo! close [x] Report   Subscribe!
