The company said O’Donnell and Zawadzki will jointly run the firm’s sales department, with O’Donnell responsible for Chicago and its western suburbs and Zawadzki overseeing the city’s north and northwest suburbs.
“Kim and Dave are an incredible team and continue to make significant contributions to Proper Title that help grow our business,” Proper Executive Vice President David Garside said in a release. “Dave has been with us since we opened our doors five years ago, and Kim joined shortly thereafter. Combined, they have more than 40 years of experience in the title industry and will have an even greater impact at Proper Title as vice presidents.”
O’Donnell joined Proper Title in 2015. She has been responsible for residential and commercial new business development throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. Prior to joining Proper Title, O’Donnell worked in the title industry in Chicago for 19 years.
Zawadzki has more than 16 years of experience in the title industry. He joined Proper Title in 2013 and eventually became the company’s top-producing sales representative. His experience includes working as an account executive at a title company, a commercial real estate broker and an escrow officer.
Proper said Bier has13 years of real estate brokerage experience. Her focus will be broker training coordination, social media marketing and client relationship management.
“As an awarding-winning real estate broker, Sabrina is the perfect person to create a bridge between Chicago-area brokers and Proper Title attorneys,” Garside said. “In fact, she has already organized extremely successful networking and training events for brokers and attorneys that quickly sold out.”
