Sunrise Homes, Sun Construction LLC, Title Closing Group Inc. and Berrigan & English LLC
A lawsuit seeking class action status alleges Sunrise Homes forced buyers to purchase title insurance from a company that gave kickbacks to the builder. The buyers allege a Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) violation occurred when Sunrise forced them to buy title insurance from Title Closing Group Inc. (TCG). The suit claims Sunrise would not sell the house without using TCG.
RESPA allows the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to protect consumers by outlawing kickbacks and inflationary referral fees.
