Real Advantage Title

What Real Advantage Title does

Real Advantage Title Insurance Agency, LLC is a Utah-based title insurance and escrow services company operating as a member of the Orange Coast Title Family of Companies, a 28-company national title group active in 48 states since 1974. Founded in Utah in November 2015, the company has grown to 11 branch locations across the Wasatch Front and southern Utah, with corporate offices in Park City and Salt Lake City, and employs 51-100 people. It serves four primary customer segments — residential realtors, commercial lenders, builders and developers, and home buyers and sellers — with a core service mix of title insurance policies, escrow and closing services, 1031 exchange facilitation, and Remote Online Notarization, closing more than 500 files per month.

The firm's core products are built around an in-house Title Plant for property research, an in-house underwriter (Real Advantage Title Insurance Company) that enables Utah Department of Insurance-filed discounts, and a proprietary Real Advantage Mobile App that delivers a farming tool, full property profiles, and quick net sheet calculators synced in real time between mobile and desktop. It runs on the Qualia cloud-based escrow closing platform for transaction management, supplemented by CertifID for wire fraud protection and Earnnest for digital fund transfers. It maintains SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance (8th consecutive no-exceptions audit) and ALTA Best Practices certification.

Real Advantage Title operates a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market model in which escrow officers and branch managers serve as the primary points of contact with realtors and lenders, supported by Business Development Managers and monthly 'Real Talk' continuing education events for the real estate community. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis: title insurance premiums priced at Underwriter-filed rates regulated by the state of Utah, plus closing fees, Closing Protection Letters, and recording fees per escrow. Pricing for lender's policies is based on loan amount, while owner's policies are based on sales price. Distribution is direct via the 11-branch physical network, supplemented by RON, mobile notary, and a website-based order initiation channel.
