Resource Title Agency, which is a a real estate title insurance firm based in Independence, Ohio, will celebrate 25 years of service in the Cleveland area by donating a portion of its forthcoming revenue to Cleveland-area charities. For each residential purchase or refinance transaction the company conducts through December, $25 will be donated to a local charity. For every commercial transaction conducted, the company plans on donating $100.

Resource Title is an independent, family-owned title agency that has provided title, escrow and closing services to the residential and commercial markets since 1984. The company also offers non-traditional services in the relocation, default and Real Estate Owned (REO) fields. It has operated in Cleveland through the entirety of its existence.

The charities to benefit from Resource Title’s donations will be Cornerstone of Hope, a comprehensive grief center; RAI, a non-profit organization focused on counseling adolescents and young adults impacted by cancer; and The Cleveland Food Bank, a non-profit organization seeking to alleviate hunger in the Cleveland area by providing food and support to multiple organizations.

“People have heard many negative things about the mortgage and real estate industry in the past two years, and in some cases, justifiably,” said Andrew Rennell, the executive vice president for Resource Title. "But Resource Title is very proud to be a long standing member of the Cleveland corporate community, and even prouder to be able to give back to the people of this region. We would like Clevelanders to know that there are good, honest operators in this industry as well, and that they take their civic responsibilities very seriously."
