Washington, D.C., April 23, 2024 — Eric Swarthout NTP has earned his National Title Professional (NTP) designation from the American Land Title Association (ALTA), the national trade association of the land title insurance industry.

“‘National Title Professional’ is a recognition bestowed upon only the most knowledgeable and committed title insurance professionals,” said ALTA President Don Kennedy. “ALTA members earning their designation must undergo a vigorous audit and demonstrate extensive experience in and dedication to the title insurance industry. Eric has been a title professional for 25 years; his knowledge, expertise and longevity made him an ideal candidate for the NTP designation. I hope other title insurance professionals follow his lead and aim for this achievement.”
