George S. Haymans, IV, a leader in the title industry, was awarded the National Title Professional designation by the American Land Title Association during the 2024 ALTA ONE Conference in Orlando.

Haymans is the first Mississippian to receive this award from the Land Title Association. Only 119 industry leaders have received this designation in the United States.

The NTP designation is reserved for those who demonstrate dedication, expertise and leadership within the title industry. Haymans joins an elite group of professionals who have earned this recognition for their commitment to promoting industry excellence and advancing best practices in service and operations.

“I wanted to find a way to become a student of title, condominium law, real estate transactions and other matters pertinent to both my developer/builder clients and individual homebuyers throughout the state,” Haymans said. “I have been working on the qualifications and education for the National Title Professional designation since pre-Covid. I wanted to stand out as a leader and champion of title matters in Mississippi and the Southeast, where I work with Developers from Georgia to Texas. Whether tackling complicated condominium projects, hospital transactions or multi-family developments, the skills and education learned during the NTP qualification process gave me the confidence to assist my clients in all facets of the real estate closing and due diligence matters.”

The ALTA ONE Conference brings together professionals nationwide to collaborate, share innovative ideas and celebrate industry achievements. Receiving the NTP designation at this event underscores George’s impact and dedication.
