Profile of Success
In 1999, Dave was well-known and respected top-producing Chicago agent. In 2002, he was given the opportunity to open a new branch office in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood together with a national franchise. 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 was being done for a replacement of a retiring Chief Executive Officer in 2003, and this lead the national franchise Board of Directors to Dave Hanna, Jim Roth and Bill White. Together they served as the managing partners from 2004 through 2006.

In early 2007, Dave and Bill handed off the thriving brokerage to new owners and created SourceOne 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 SourceOne 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 local Chicago Association of Realtors® and National Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors. Dave Hanna is currently President of the Chicago Association of Realtors® (CAR board).

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.
