Prior to joining The Jelinek Group and the Coldwell Banker Evanston office, Dan was an attorney at Sidley Austin LLP in downtown Chicago where his legal practice focused on representing investors, developers, lenders, buyers and sellers of both residential and commercial real estate.  Dan's legal practice frequently involved the negotiation, drafting and review of purchase and sale contracts and commercial lease agreements; negotiating, documenting and closing acquisition, development and construction loan transactions; and general corporate work in connection with the real estate aspects of multi-million dollar mergers, acquisitions and corporate reorganizations.  Dan previously represented Equity Office Properties Trust  (the largest publicly traded REIT with over $25 billion dollars in real estate holdings) in its acquisition, disposition and leasing of office buildings prior to it being taken private in 2007.

Whether it's a buyer's market, a seller's market or a balanced market, Dan has the experience and the skills to deliver results that benefit you!
