More Information

Erin Cabelus is the 2024 president of CREW CT, the state’s highest-profile commercial real estate association for women.

Her one-year appointment as president was effective in January, and she’s been involved with the group, including serving on the board, for more than five years.

The organization, founded in 1987, has more than 14,000 members globally, and connects women in the commercial real estate industry.

CREW CT has more than 85 members, with the mission to advance all women in commercial real estate through business networking, leadership development, career outreach and industry research.

According to CREW, women occupy less than 37% of the positions in the commercial real estate industry, a percentage that has been relatively unchanged for the last 15 years.

Cabelus said a top goal of CREW is to strengthen diversity, equity and inclusion, and to educate women and girls about career opportunities in the field.

Outside of CREW CT, Cabelus is an attorney for Rocky Hill- and Hartford-based CATIC, which provides title insurance underwriting and other professional services to the real estate community.

She is involved more on the business development side, trying to promote the company, the services it offers and its attorney-client members.

She also works to support and educate clients dealing with trends and issues happening in real estate, such as new technology.

Whenever real estate transactions are financed, title insurance is required. CATIC underwrites the policies that are issued by attorneys, and Cabelus is instrumental in developing relationships and being a “brand ambassador” of sorts so that clients pick CATIC, she said.

One of CATIC’s most notable deals was underwriting title insurance for the $60 million North Crossing mixed-use development in downtown Hartford, site of the new residential building The Pennant near Dunkin’ Donuts Park.

Cabelus, a New York Law School graduate, has been a real estate attorney in various law firms throughout Connecticut, including the Jackson Law Group in Shelton and Grady & Riley in Waterbury, involved in both residential and commercial transactions.
