Landmark Title Company was founded in 1977 by local attorney Phil Lam. Under his leadership, the company thrived until its sale to a group of local investors in 2009. Phil remained a valued part of Landmark until his retirement in 2016, at which point our current management team took the helm. Today, Landmark Title continues to grow and thrive as we enter a new decade of service. 

We take great pride in conducting thorough and efficient title examinations, which we believe are the cornerstone of a successful closing. With decades of experience behind us, we handle transactions of every size—from single-family homes to large commercial properties and expansive multi-acre tracts. In fact, we've proudly closed some of the largest real estate transactions in Wichita Falls—and we’d be honored to close the most important one: yours.

We’re also deeply committed to our community. We support local Realtors through active involvement in their associations, and we give back by contributing to organizations like Faith Mission, Faith Refuge, the Food Bank, and other local charitable causes.

At Landmark, it’s our serious approach to your title needs and our highly experienced team that truly sets us apart.
