Dan Mihalovich was born and raised in San Francisco. He graduated from Lowell High School; attended University of California, Berkeley (including two years on the Cal Tennis Team); and received his B.S. in Agricultural Economics and Business Management from University of California, Davis, in 1978. In 1978, Mihalovich became a grain merchandiser for one of the top-three grain exporters in the world, Louis Dreyfus Corporation. He managed all corn, wheat and soybean exports from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan—a 12 million bushel per month, Atlantic export program. The grain industry’s demand for superior analytical skills; negotiating expertise (over $1 billion in trades); consensus-building, shaping the entire company’s trading positions—all built the foundation for his commercial leasing and negotiations skills.
In 1982, Mr. Mihalovich joined Cushman & Wakefield in San Francisco, later promoted to Director of Office Leasing. He created a tenant representation practice within the firm, unlike any of the brokers in the company or in the San Francisco industry at the time. Mr. Mihalovich was consistently one of the top producers in the office and Company and became the Leading Broker of the Western Region in 1991, of 327 brokers.
