CHICAGO, IL (Oct. 4, 2016)
— Palatine, Ill.-based Proper Title, LLC, a full-service title insurance
agency, has hired David Garside as
executive vice president of title and escrow operations. Garside will be
responsible for managing Proper Title’s processing, closing and overall title
operations.
“David has a long history
of providing the leadership and vision necessary to elevate title operations
and foster a collaborative environment,” said Ben Niernberg, executive vice president of business development and
operations at Proper Title. “He shares Proper Title’s customer-focused culture,
entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation, which will help position
us for continued growth.”

industry. Prior to joining Proper Title, Garside had served for seven years as
vice president, director of operations of Fort Dearborn Title.
He led the expansion of

initiatives, including strategic planning, business development,
cross-functional team training and process efficiency. Garside has also held

“The title insurance
industry was status quo for more than a century until Proper Title came along

that is taking title insurance to the next level, and my goal is to help the
