When I started my own homebuying experience, I had questions — a lot of them. I kept asking myself: Are these referrals really trustworthy? Are they based on merit, or are there hidden favors and kickbacks I don’t know about? Thankfully, the realtor and loan officer I worked with were a rock-star team. They made it clear upfront — no kickback fees, no bonuses, no shady deals. They only connected me with people they trusted and had worked with before, and they reminded me that *RESPA — the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act — is there to protect homeowners from that whole “good ol’ boy” system of referrals-for-favors.
That’s exactly what inspired me to create the Rest-Pa Chronicle in NutriVille. It’s a short tale that folds real-life lessons into NutriVille’s comic-book world. Rest-Pa might be lurking in the shadows, but the heroes shine a light on how transparency keeps your health and wealth strong. And this is just one story in the series — there’s more coming, so keep an eye out for the next NutriVille Chronicles.
