Bluegrass Land Title: Now Serving Southern Indiana

Bluegrass Land Title Expands Service to Indiana

Scott Harper, Louisville market president of Bluegrass Land Title, thinks about the role of business in straightforward terms: you're there to solve a need. For BLT's Louisville office, expanding service to Indiana represented both an obvious opportunity and a persistent challenge. The state sits just three miles across the river, close enough to see from downtown Louisville, but Bluegrass Land Title wasn’t yet licensed to close real estate transactions there. 

Many of BLT's Louisville clients work on both sides of the river. But when those Indiana transactions needed title and closing services, Bluegrass Land Title had to send them elsewhere.

"If we want to be the place that you can come to for all of your real estate transaction needs, be it great real estate closings, education, or great coffee, we want to be an ecosystem that can assist our clients with all of that," Harper explains. "Indiana was the missing piece.”

Now fully licensed in Indiana, Bluegrass Land Title can serve clients on both sides of the river. Clients who need title and closing services in Kentucky and Indiana can work with the same team, building on relationships they've already established rather than starting fresh with an unfamiliar company for their Indiana transactions.

A Thoughtful Approach to Indiana Market Entry

Bluegrass Land Title's Indiana expansion focuses on Southern Indiana communities directly across the river from Louisville: Jeffersonville, New Albany, Clarksville, and Floyd's Knobs. These towns offer a different character from Louisville itself. Harper describes them as having "a little bit more of a small town feel," with accessible price points that work particularly well for first-time homebuyers.

To provide service in Indiana, Bluegrass Land Title completed dual licensing on two fronts. The company needed attorneys licensed to practice law in Indiana and a separate license to sell or broker title insurance in the state. Two Bluegrass Land Title attorneys, including Harper, went through the process of becoming licensed to practice law in Indiana. The licensing process ensures Bluegrass Land Title can serve Indiana clients with full legal capability, operating at the same level as any established firm in the state. 

Harper also describes the expansion as an opportunity to integrate with Indiana's real estate community. The company seeks to curate events designed to reflect local character, and Indiana offers a chance to build relationships and a presence that fits the personality of those specific communities rather than simply operating as a Kentucky office serving clients across state lines.

Closing with Bluegrass Land Title for Indiana Properties

The escrow officers that clients already work with at Bluegrass Land Title can now also handle their Indiana transactions. "A lot of our clients have really strong relationships with our escrow officers—the team members they work hand in hand with putting files together," Harper notes. "Being able to tell them they can work with those same people for Indiana transactions is something they get excited about."

Bluegrass Land Title offers several options for Indiana closings. Clients can close at the Louisville, KY, office if they prefer the full Bluegrass Land Title office experience. Alternatively, closings can take place at a real estate brokerage, a lender’s office, at the property location, or with a mobile notary who can meet clients at a location of their choosing. 

In the coming months, BLT plans to establish a brick-and-mortar presence in Southern Indiana. "Location is very important, and the building itself needs to be something that meets our brand. Right now, we're waiting until we find the right opportunity,” Harper explains. 

In the interim, flexible closing options give Indiana clients immediate access to Bluegrass Land Title's services while allowing the company to build toward a physical presence with intentionality.

What Indiana Clients Can Expect from Bluegrass Land Title

Buying or selling a home ranks among the biggest financial decisions most people make. Bluegrass Land Title’s approach centers on taking that complexity and making it feel smooth for clients. Harper describes it this way: "We are good at our job because we are able to take something that is very meaningful to individuals—their life savings, their real estate, their home—that involves a complicated matter, and we bridge that gap by smoothing over those complications so it doesn't feel complicated."

That philosophy carries into Indiana without modification. The client-focused experience remains consistent, backed by solid transaction fundamentals and the attention to detail that builds long-term relationships. Working with a larger organization brings resources and established systems while maintaining the personal service that clients value. The work itself demonstrates Bluegrass Land Title's capabilities, and Harper emphasizes that "if we continue to do in Indiana what we've always done in Kentucky, I think that it can raise the bar and set a new standard for what title services can look like."

Looking ahead, Harper sees potential for expansion north toward Indianapolis, though Southern Indiana remains the immediate focus. The work in these initial markets will establish the foundation for future growth. For now, the goal is straightforward: bring Bluegrass Land Title's approach to Indiana and let the results speak for themselves. 

Bluegrass Land Title's Indiana expansion ultimately comes down to trust. "At the end of the day, we are only in business because people trust us with their transactions," Harper says. That trust gets built through consistent execution, reliable service, and a commitment to doing things right rather than just doing them quickly.

For Indiana real estate professionals and clients who haven't worked with Bluegrass Land Title before, Harper’s invitation is simple: give us a try for your next real estate transaction. The product and service will demonstrate what Bluegrass Land Title brings to the market. For existing clients who already have relationships with the Louisville team, Indiana licensing means those relationships can now extend across the river without interruption.
