Answer:The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA,

Explanation:

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA, is a law that was passed by Congress in order to give those who buy and those who sell houses a full settlement cost disclosure.

The act aims at eliminating unfair practices in real estate settlement and to eliminate bribes.

RESPA expect that lenders, mortgage brokers need to give a full disclosure to those who borrow from them regarding real estate transactions and settlement.
