Who We Are
Virginia Land Title Association, founded in 1974, is the state trade association for the land title industry. VLTA members search, review and insure home buyers and mortgage lenders who invest in real estate.
VLTA members are agents, abstractors, examiners, underwriters, attorneys, and others who assist in the selection of a title insurance policy to protect land ownership. Agents perform the settlement or closing in the purchase of residential or commercial real estate.
VLTA members advocate safe and efficient transfer of title and insist on high standards when searching land title records and preparing insurance documents. The industry seeks to eliminate risk before insuring, which provides the insured with the best possible chance of avoiding land title problems. But, title difficulties do occur, and members offer both owner’s and lender’s title insurance as effective safeguards.
Our Mission
The mission of the Association is to advance the efficient and secure transfer of ownership of real property by proactively serving its members, the consumer, and affiliated associations.
To achieve this objective, VLTA will:
Provide superior education programs
Represent the industry on legislative and regulatory issues
Support the American Land Title Association and its initiative to continually maintain and promote members to engage only in business practices that are lawful and consistent with high professional standards and ethics
Communicate industry related information
Fairly represent all interests of the membership
Enhance and protect the value of its members, consumers, and the title industry as a whole
Raise public awareness and understanding of the land title industry
