A Better Way

Founded in 2004, RealSource Title Insurance and Real Estate Closings was built on the belief that there is a better way of service in real estate than “what has always been done.” Today, RealSource, LLC stands behind business practices that take clients to the closing table smoothly and efficiently and that offers clients assurance that their investments are secure.

Appointed by Old Republic National Title Insurance Company and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, RealSource is rapidly expanding operations across the nation, currently covering Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida and Michigan. Under the direction of company founder and president Doris Phillips, RealSource has been featured in case studies by Dell and recognized nationally for its use of technology to enhance the customer service experience and efforts to simplify the contract-to-close process.

The Best Option

Paramount to streamlining this process is the company’s proprietary software, RealSource Central, which provides team members an all-in-one platform through which they can accurately track all the tasks and paperwork needed to complete real estate closings in a timely manner. Armed with its exclusive technology and half a century of industry knowledge and experience, RealSource delivers on its promise to be the best option available to today’s buyers, sellers, lenders and real estate agents.

In stride with its service-orienting business model, RealSource is also the parent company of The Circle of Love Foundation (link to COL website), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports children in need in Alabama. As the company continues to grow, the Circle of Love has expanded to benefit shelters in each new state entered.
