Dear Friends,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your President for the upcoming year.  I am honored and humbled to have been chosen and I look forward to working with all of you across the state.

As Pennsylvania Land Title Association, we represent the interests of both land title insurance underwriters and agents, and I will work diligently the next twelve months to increase PLTA membership so that we may continue to be the strong and effective advocate of our industry.  We will continue to monitor the many issues facing our industry and keep you updated at PLTA Common Ground Online.  

With my fellow officers, Phil Janny, Jan Koski Hogan and Charlene Ostroski, I want to thank you for your past and continuing support, and I look forward to meeting many of you as I travel around Pennsylvania during the coming year.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Title insurance companies have protected the American dream of homeownership for more than a century by providing behind-the-scenes work that strives to eliminate claims and assures homeowners that their investment in a property is protected.

“Unlike insurance agents that sell other forms of insurance, title insurance agents spend the majority of their time and resources preventing claims and protecting homeowners’ property rights,” said Kurt Pfotenhauer, chief executive officer of the American Land Title Association. “A recent request by the New Mexico attorney general to decrease title insurance rates in the state highlights a lack of understanding of the title insurance industry and the preventive measures title agents take to eliminate claims and protect consumers.”
