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.”

Garside, 46, has 20 years of experience in real estate, with 14 years dedicated to the title insurance 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 Fort Dearborn Title into a multi-state operation, and managed several critical initiatives, including strategic planning, business development, cross-functional team training and process efficiency. Garside has also held several professional leadership positions as a coach, mentor and independent consultant.

“The title insurance industry was status quo for more than a century until Proper Title came along and set new, higher standards,” said Garside. “I’m excited to be part of a firm that is taking title insurance to the next level, and my goal is to help the firm continue its upward trajectory of growth and superior customer service.”

 Proper Title is the first in its market to implement a concierge approach to elevate the customer experience, dedicating an attorney/broker concierge for each closing to ensure greater efficiency and a shorter closing time.
