About the Event

As social media platforms become a primary channel for marketing and business development, lenders face growing challenges in ensuring their online activities comply with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Social media advertising, posts, and interactions with real estate agents, title companies, and other settlement service providers can easily cross regulatory lines if not properly managed. With the rapid growth of social media in business strategy, understanding how to navigate these platforms without violating RESPA is crucial for protecting both your business and consumers. Violations of RESPA can lead to costly penalties and reputational damage, so it’s vital to be proactive and educated on the dos and don’ts of social media marketing.
