Who benefits from an acceleration clause in a mortgage agreement?

1. The borrower

2. The lender

3. The real estate agent

4. The property appraiser

5. The home inspector

6. The title company

The correct answer is: The lender

An acceleration clause in a mortgage agreement benefits the lender. This clause allows the lender to demand immediate and full repayment of the loan if the borrower fails to meet certain specified conditions, such as missing payments or defaulting on the loan. By having an acceleration clause, the lender can protect their interests and ensure timely repayment of the loan amount. The other options are not directly related to the benefits of an acceleration clause in a mortgage agreement.
