Dan Benassi co-founded Entre Commercial Realty LLC in 2006 after several years in the industrial real estate industry. The company prides itself on providing an entrepreneurial and aggressive approach, much like most of their clients' businesses. Entre focuses more time on client service and less on corporate politics, takes a proactive position in the marketplace and responds quickly to changing market conditions.
Dan is also a co-founder of Iris Construction Services LLC which is a full service, value-engineered commercial construction and maintenance services company. Iris has been servicing major commercial and industrial brokers, investors and property managers for several years.
Previously, Dan spent 7 years with Paine/Wetzel Associates, a Chicago-based industrial real estate brokerage firm, where he was a lead member of the company's Northwest Market Team. In 2004 Dan received Paine/Wetzel's Five-Star Award , given to the company's top producer with less than five years of brokerage experience. He was also a finalist for the Association of Industrial Real Estate Brokers' Frank Mahoney Award recognizing the industry's top producers with less than five years of brokerage experience.
Prior to joining Paine/Wetzel, Dan spent 4 years with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) where he was a Manager in a national group implementing business processes to help Fortune 500 clients reduce real estate taxes, capture manufacturing-related tax credits, and identify transaction cost savings. Dan also focused on new business development and generated over $500,000 of project revenues in his last year at PwC.
Dan's clients have included large multi-national corporations as well as smaller companies and private equity investors. Dan received his B.S. in Finance in 1995 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the States of Illinois and Wisconsin.
