Scary, but true and we're nowhere near prepared for this shift.

When millions of baby boomers turn 80 in coming years, they're likely to encounter an unprecedented housing shortage, The Wall Street Journal reports.

CFPB Leadership Shift: Impact on Compliance

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is undergoing another leadership transition, with Russell Vought now serving as acting director following Scott Bessent's brief tenure. Vought has continued the operational pause initiated by Bessent.

Despite this pause, legal and compliance experts indicate that federal regulations such as the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and the Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts and Practices (UDAAP) rules remain in effect. Industry professionals emphasize that businesses should continue to adhere to these regulations, as enforcement responsibilities can still be taken up by state attorneys general and private litigants.

Historically, similar funding pauses have occurred at the CFPB without disrupting enforcement. Experts also note that while the bureau's litigation activities may slow temporarily, state-level enforcement efforts may increase to fill any gaps.

For businesses operating under RESPA and UDAAP guidelines, the primary advice remains to maintain compliance. While the CFPB's activities are currently limited, regulatory oversight continues through other channels, and enforcement actions could resume once operations stabilize.

Sharing some peace in a world that seems to be devoid of it lately. Breathe it in. Look for the positive in each day.

PHOTO FOR ATTENTION.

Actually, this photo of Dolce is EXACTLY how I feel inside when I get to help someone.

I'm going to ask my Realtor friends for a favor...

When one of us is in trouble, we help. We do what we can to make someone's life a little easier after a tragedy. I'm asking you to help me to make that difference.

A member of our community has suffered a tragic loss in her life and had spent the past few months neglecting her business to spend the last precious time with her loved one. It's so hard to pull yourself back together and go back to work after a tragic loss, but when you ARE your business, your suffering becomes far deeper.

What I'm going to ask you to do is to contact me if you'd like to send a referral. Her area is Williamsburg, VA and since many of us don't go there to do our business, we typically refer it. If you've got something to refer and you'd like to do good in the world for someone who is not only a great professional but also an amazingly good human, direct message me and I'll put you on the introduction email.

Helping someone to recover from immense loss and get back on their feet isn't a handout. It's a hand up and it's what we should always do for one another.
