This month's Happy Hour with Barbara podcast features a number of products and services that are available to help agents produce more in a wider market area. In fact, many agents are probably unaware of what's available, hence the title of this podcast. To help us uncover these 'secret solutions' is Mike Kirby, President of Greenfolders.

“It takes a lifetime to build your reputation and one unethical act to destroy it."

One of the largest problems our industry faces is the lack of confidence by the consumer. Fraud and defalcations hurt everyone by placing us in a negative light in the eyes of the consumer and the regulators.Special guest Teresa Williams from Mid-Atlantic Title Consultants stops by to share her unique perspective on this topic.

The CFPB released its third round of the new closing disclosure prototypes and are asking people to look specifically at how the prototypes work with the current application disclosure prototype. They are testing the prototypes today in Philadelphia. Access the prototypes and leave your feedback on the CFPB webpage.

As you look at these prototypes, think about these questions:

• Can you easily find key loan terms?
• Are you able to identify changes to the loan terms or costs?
• Do you know who to contact to discuss your loan or changes to your loan?
• Do you have the information you would need to feel comfortable closing on the loan?
• Are the disclosures easy for lenders and settlement agents to use and explain to consumers?
