The Dodd-Frank Act reshaped mortgage lending, helping real estate agents guide buyers and sellers more confidently. With clear disclosures through the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure forms, agents can ensure clients understand mortgage terms, reducing surprises at closing. Rules like the Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mortgage standards mean agents need to work closely with lenders to confirm buyers are financially qualified. While stricter lending can slow some deals, it creates a more stable market and fewer foreclosures in the long run. Understanding these protections helps agents advocate for clients while staying in their lane. Always refer clients to licensed financial professionals for advice.
