e-Disclosure of Appraisal

Answered by:

Question:

Under TRID rules the bank must send a copy of the appraisal three days prior to closing the mortgage loan. If the appraisal is sent electronically but the customer has not opened the email, has the bank met the regulatory requirements?

Answer:

by Randy Carey:

Just a note, it is not required by TRID and for requirements for the electronic delivery of appraisals, they should refer to Regulation B 1002.14(a)(5).
