LTAAL Sponsors AMPA Luncheon
On Wednesday, March 12th, Land Title Association of Alabama had the privilege of being one of the sponsors of the Alabama Mortgage Professionals Association annual award and recognition luncheon at the Hoover Country Club. Anna Batten, Spencer Huey, and April Smith were in attendance to support, educate, network and congratulate all the many professionals in the Alabama mortgage industry who were recognized for their excellence in lending. Their hard work and desire to help buyers in obtaining homeownership in Alabama in something worth getting excited about and celebrating! Among the many awards given were those for Top 5 in Volume, Top 5 in Units and Top Brokerages in the different Regions for the State of Alabama.
Jeremy Windham with the Alabama Banking Department shared some interesting statistics listed below regarding the number of mortgage loans originated in Alabama. The good news is that 2024 broke the downward trend in years 2021-2023.
2024 – 51,727
2023 – 43,736
2022 – 60,476
2021 – 106,874
LTAAL members handed out flyers detailing one of the current issues our industry is facing: seller fraud in real estate transactions. We would like to thank Tammy Kirkland, Executive Director for AMPA, for the opportunity to celebrate these Alabama Mortgage Professionals, and also for the opportunity to educate them on a very important issue regarding our buyers, sellers, and title and closing agents daily.
