Marx Sterbcow speaking at 2016 RESPRO Annual Conference

Marx Sterbcow, Managing Attorney, of the Sterbcow Law Group will present in two sessions at the 2016 Real Estate Service Providers Council [RESPRO] Annual Conference on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New Orleans.

The first session ” Uncertainties to Website Endorsements and Intra Company Organizational Endorsements” is from 11:00 AM – 12:00 AM in the LaSalle Ballroom. Mr. Sterbcow is co-presenting with Stan Gordon with Gordon & Associates and Francis (Trip) Riley with Saul Ewing. “There are a variety of views as to whether the inclusion of a service provider on a website is a permissible endorsement or a referral in violation of RESPA. Can it be a referral when there is no direct consumer communication? Is the website in the nature of an electronic directory even if it has a link to the service provider? The CFPB’s action have caused uncertainty and an over action in this area. The same uncertainties exist in an integrated group of companies driving an endorsement of a service provider down to its management and sales agents. Today many would say that is a referral.”

The second session “Who’s Your Vendor? Vendor Management for Affiliated Business Title Agencies” is from 4:15 PM – 5:15 PM in the LaSalle Ballroom. Mr. Sterbcow will co-present with Charles Cain. “Notaries, searchers and abstractors, marketing companies, lead generation portals, recording companies, even couriers are sources of liability for you and your lender. How do the real estate broker and agent fit into the issue? Find out what the issues are and how you can respond when your lender customer asks what you do to address fourth-party vendor management liability. During this session, two noted attorneys will discuss real processes in order to provide answers and not just pose more questions. This advanced-level affiliated business arrangement vendor management compliance session is designed to provide specific examples based on our latest experiences across the country.”
