Profile of Success
Dave joined Prudential Homelife Realty as a Broker Associate in 1999 as a well-known and respected top-producing agent. In 2002, he was given the opportunity to open a new branch office in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood together with Prudential Homelife Realty. This office quickly became the most productive in the company. Dave later continued this success with the company's Hinsdale branch office.
A national search, for a replacement of a retiring Chief Executive Officer in 2003, lead the Prudential Real Estate Board of Directors to Dave Hanna, Jim Roth and Bill White. Together they served as the managing partners of Prudential Homelife Realtyfrom 2004 through 2006.
In early 2007, Dave and Bill handed off their thriving brokerage to new owners and created Prudential Homelife Realty. Already outpacing the market, the company has embodied the forward-looking attitude that Dave and Bill have so critically believed is a keystone to success in today’s Real Estate industry.
This thriving model makes use of technology, strong sales skills, careful studies of consumer behavior and an array of exceptional tools that allow agents to optimally serve clients buying and selling homes in today's marketplace. Many of these "tools of the trade" are non-existent or underutilized in the day-to-day activities of other brokers. Coupled with a culture of success and a focus on the educated customer, Dave sees Prudential Homelife Realty agents excelling in their business and consistently giving the company a solid advantage over competitors.
Dave earned his degree in American Literature with a minor in economics from Michigan State University. He has a strong background in real estate brokerage, development and construction. A student of the industry, he is active in the Chicago Association of REALTORS®, (currently Treasurer and 2007 President-Elect), National Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors and Prudential Real Estate Services Platform Advisory Council. Dave has also been a regular attendee at the Prudential Real Estate Financial Services' exclusive annual CFO conference.
Dave has volunteered at the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago for over a decade. He and his wife live in the city and are busy parents with four school-age children. Dave and his wife are avid equestrian enthusiasts. When Dave is not working, he can be found with his children, on a horse (or tractor) at the family farm.
