Landmark Title Company was founded in 1977 by local attorney Phil Lam. Under his leadership, Landmark built a strong reputation for trusted title and closing services throughout the area.

In 2009, the company was purchased by a group of local investors, continuing Landmark’s tradition of local ownership and personal service. Phil remained an important part of the company until his retirement in 2016.

Today, Landmark Title is led by Jody Bussey, managing member and majority owner. Jody has been part of the Landmark team for more than 10 years and brings an extensive background in oil and gas, along with valuable experience in the title industry.

With decades of experience behind us, Landmark Title handles transactions of every size, from single-family homes to large commercial properties and expansive multi-acre tracts. We take pride in conducting thorough and efficient title examinations, which we believe are the foundation of a successful closing.

We are also deeply committed to our community. Landmark proudly supports local Realtors and gives back through organizations such as Faith Mission, Faith Refuge, the Food Bank, and other local charitable causes.

At Landmark Title, our experienced team, attention to detail, and serious approach to your title needs are what set us apart. We have proudly closed some of the largest real estate transactions in Wichita Falls, and we would be honored to close the most important one: yours.
