Land Group Title - Lexington — Local services in Lexington

If you're buying land with clean, straightforward title work, this company could be a great fit. They have a super convenient online portal for paying earnest money and managing documents, and they’re pretty quick to respond over email! For simple, no-issue transactions, I can definitely see them being a solid choice.

However, if there’s any complexity to the title, I would recommend going with a different title company. I’m an investor and work with multiple title companies across several states, and this was honestly the most disengaged experience I’ve had. In my case, the PVA acreage didn’t match the deeded acreage—something fairly common with older farm properties. I reached out for help understanding how we could move forward, and was told they’d need more information before determining a plan.

I followed up by speaking with the seller, gathering the property’s background, and compiling a full chain of title to help move things along. Even after sending all of that, I was told they still couldn’t provide any direction—not without payment and a certified 50-year search. I asked if they could at least give me a sense of whether it was worth pursuing based on what I’d already sent, and was told no not without a certified search. At that point, I returned to my regular attorney and asked for whatever title work this company had completed.

After nearly a month, all I received was a copy of the current deed, a screenshot from the PVA, a paid tax bill, and a brief summary. It included very limited details—no lien notes, no exceptions to the commitment, and no explanation as to why they had been hesitant about the transaction. To be fair, they did complete a 30-year search, and because the property had been in the family for decades, that technically met the requirement. But after spending $250 on the search I was hoping it would help me and or my new attorney understand the issue a little better.

Now, to be completely fair to them—I probably wasn’t the easiest client to work with and I'm located out of state. I know I asked a lot of questions and was often pushing for clarification, and I’m sure that got frustrating. The people I spoke with were kind, and I don’t think the issue lies with them personally. More likely, something is off with the systems or processes—or they’re just stretched too thin—which led to the experience I had.

So again, I’m not saying they’re a bad title company. I think they’re probably a great fit for clean, easy files and straightforward closings. They seem to handle straightforward closings well, and I’m sure they serve many clients just fine. But if your file needs a bit more attention or back-and-forth, it may be worth finding a team that’s better equipped to offer that...
