Bill Dana

Professional Experience

Bill Dana served as Vice President of Brokerage at MEGA from 1988 until 1993. He helped spearhead the company to record-setting revenue profits for a wide range of clients. With his leadership skills, he was able to advance the level of professionalism in the brokerage division by introducing new concepts and implementing training to the brokerage team. After Bill’s departure, MEGA went on and established a partner affiliation by merging with CB Richard Ellis, now CBRE, Inc.

In 2002, Bill returned to the newly merged CBRE|MEGA. From his past experience, he has been able to bridge the company’s brokerage services with investment and development opportunities. In addition, his personal and professional relationships in Omaha’s real estate community have provided many opportunities that have added to the great success of CBRE|MEGA.
