ALTA Honors New York State Land Title Association President with National Title Professional Recognition


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. Formally acknowledged with his NTP designation on March 1, Swarthout is one of 111 leaders across the United States, and the third in New York State, who have devoted their careers to the land title industry and earned their designation.


The designation recognizes land title professionals who demonstrate the knowledge, experience and dedication essential to the safe and efficient transfer of real property.*

 

“‘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.”

 

As a member of the title insurance community since 1999, Swarthout is the president of Thoroughbred Title Services, a HomeServices of America company, in Rye Brook, N.Y. He also serves as president of the New York State Land Title Association. Swarthout received his New York Title Insurance Producer license in 2015.

 

A full directory of National Title Professionals is available here.


The designation has several elements, including industry and compliance prerequisites and training requirements. To apply for the NTP designation and for more information, please visit ALTA.org.
