RESPA On the Hot Seat

Mortgage Law Today Web show: July 21, 2026

July’s MLT show was a super fun, no-holds-barred purely hypothetical conversation with a bunch of RESPA nerds about whether RESPA’s anti-kickback provisions should be eliminated or deserve another 50 years. In addition to myself, co-hosts Loretta Salzano and Marty Green, the show featured Chase Mortgage’s Associate General Counsel, Suzanne Garwood, and retired RESPA legend and Mayer Brown Senior Counsel, Phil Schulman, as expert panelists.

Mark your calendars for next month’s show (or sign up here to get a calendar invite) where our panel will include some impressive multistate closing attorneys about their role, challenges, and new developments. As always, I welcome your feedback on the show and ideas for topics and guests. Also, please feel free to forward this to anyone who would be interested in this month’s interview, future or past episodes, or a free subscription to my Mortgage Musings. (See my latest Musing here).

Thanks again to show sponsor Polunsky Beitel Green and the Chrisman Commentary folks for enabling another great conversation.
