Jett Title

What Jett Title does

Jett Title Company is a privately held, owner-operated title and escrow firm headquartered at 2560 Richmond Rd, Suite 100, Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 2003, the company delivers full-service residential and commercial title and closing services across all 120 Kentucky counties, including title searches (30-year residential, 60-year commercial), title commitments and reports, Closing Disclosure preparation, closing facilitation, escrow account management, funding and disbursement, document recording, title insurance policy issuance, and foreclosure searches. Service is delivered via direct closings at the Lexington office, on-site closings at lender or real estate offices or buyer/seller locations, and mobile notary services available nationwide for absent parties at approximately $150 per signing.

The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its technology footprint is limited to a website with educational content, an online quote calculator, and a digital earnest money payment integration via DepositLink (added May 2025). Core workflow execution — title search, commitment preparation, settlement statement drafting, closing facilitation, and policy issuance — is performed by Jett Title personnel, including on-staff licensed attorneys.

Jett Title monetizes through transaction-based fees positioned at the middle of the Kentucky market range, with an online calculator for residential quotes and direct-inquiry pricing for commercial and specialized services. Customers span three primary segments — mortgage lenders (Chase Mortgage, Fifth Third Mortgage, BB&T Mortgage among named partners), individual buyers and sellers, and real estate professionals — with the majority of demand sourced via referrals from real estate agents and lenders. The go-to-market combines educational content marketing, a multi-channel website segmented by buyer type, organic social presence (Facebook, Instagram, X), and dedicated sales and marketing outreach. Co-owners Mathew Hulberg (joined 2016, former mortgage loan officer) and Daniel V. Smith, Esq. (Michigan and Kentucky attorney, Florida title agent since 2020) lead a small team that includes escrow and sales staff.
