Proper Title's Kim O'Donnell Recognized By Connect CRE

Connect CRE Chicago & Midwest

When Connect CRE put out the call for 2026 Women in Real Estate Awards nominations, we knew it was the perfect time for Taylor Johnson client Proper Title to highlight the hard work and big wins of Kim O’Donnell, executive vice president of business development. Working alongside Proper Title, we helped craft O’Donnell’s submission, showcasing her decision to join the young firm in 2015 and her role in expanding Proper Title's commercial title platform, including the launch of its national commercial division. O’Donnell’s well-earned recognition as one of this year’s Connect CRE Chicago & Midwest award recipients is a celebration of a career built on expertise, leadership and a willingness to take calculated risks. O’Donnell’s successful submission also called out her work serving developers, investors, attorneys, lenders and brokers on transactions ranging from $1 million to $200 million. Congratulations to Kim O’Donnell and all Connect CRE 2026 Women in Real Estate Awards winners.
