Proper Title LLC Opens New Illinois Office

Proper Title LLC has announced that it has hired Amanda Ley as Senior Escrow Officer

Palatine, Ill.-based Proper Title LLC has announced the opening of its new office in Oak Brook, Ill. The company’s previous Oak Brook office was just down the street from its new location, but due to increased business, Proper Title needed a larger space to accommodate its growing client base.
 
“We knew we didn’t want to leave this area as Oak Brook offers a great centralized location to serve the Western suburbs, a robust market where we see strong growth potential,” said David Garside, Executive Vice President of Title and Escrow Operations at Proper Title. “This larger Oak Brook location is the second new office we have opened in less than a year, which speaks to the rise in the number of closings we have experienced since launching the company five years ago. In fact, this past June marked a record-breaking number of closings since we opened in 2013.”
 
The new office occupies a 2,400-square-foot suite on the first floor of the building and includes four closing rooms, a large reception area and ample parking. Its convenient location offers easy access to a number of major expressways and thoroughfares in the western suburbs of Chicago. Proper Title has added key staff to the Oak Brook office, including Kim Wetzel, a Senior Sales Representative who joined the company earlier this year, and Janet Lombardo, an Escrow Officer with more than 25 years of experience.
 
“Our service-oriented approach has resulted in happy customers who, in turn, give us the referrals and repeat business that has helped drive our expansion,” said Garside. “We’ve found that having attentive and additional staff, preparing closing documents in advance and providing a comfortable environment makes a significant difference with clients and sets us apart from other title companies.”
