Meet The Dearman Real Estate Group

Welcome to Dearman Real Estate Group. With more than 50 years of combined real estate experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, our knowledge and expertise set us apart from our competitors. We bridge our community-wide, neighborhood-focused insights with our compassionate guidance for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Dearman Real Estate Group was founded by Jonathan Dearman and Molli Milner, but its true origins began in the late 1950s when Jonathan’s grandmother, Bertha Flemming, began providing real estate services throughout the Bay Area. Jonathan grew up learning about the business but also about the greater importance of home, family, stability, and community. We like to think we make Bertha proud by blending her timeless service with our 21st-century vision.

We get to know your needs, values, and perspectives so we can help you achieve your goals at closing and beyond. On average, our sellers receive 113% over asking price, and our buyers typically earn 6% home equity each year after purchase.

Dearman Real Estate Group strives to make buying or selling your home a painless, predictable, and profitable journey. We love everything about the Bay Area, and we want you to love everything about it, too — including your partnership with us.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
My wife Dee and I have partnered with Jonathan Dearman for all our real estate matters for well over two decades. Jonathan has not only consistently found the best homes for our needs at the time but has doggedly negotiated the best possible prices on our behalf; he even helped us line up a rental contract for a newly converted condo. Molli and Jon teamed up to sell that condo for us and, although the ma...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Dearman Realty has earned our highest recommendation! Not once, but twice we have found ourselves needing to purchase a home during a seller’s market – once as new homeowners and then after our family grew. Both times, Dearman Realty committed themselves to the challenge and were able to advocate and secure our new homes – homes that have been the perfect match for us each time! Dearman Realty are consum...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
John was very receptive to my questions. Even though we did not meet in person, or speak over the phone he was willing to take time out of his day to look into a property for me and even stop at the house the next day. Such effort should be recognized. Jonathan Dearman provided the highest degree of professionalism throughout our transaction. His confidence and vast knowledge of the trade, in addition t...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Many thanks to you, we love our new home. As first time homebuyers, we were definitely in unfamiliar and somewhat frightening territory, but you put us at ease at once! Thanks for your patience in answering all of our questions, and for your presence all along the way. We really love living here, in no small part due to all of your efforts. Your ultimate negotiation won us a home.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Molli is SO fabulous. Working with Molli felt like working with your big sister who just really has your back! She has great energy and I honestly think we got this house because she was willing to really both advocate for us and help us put together a winning offer. It felt SO good to have Molli on our team. THANK YOU.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
This is my 2nd time working with Jonathan, the first being when I purchased the SF flat I recently sold. He conducts his business relationships with honesty and integrity. He provides the right amount of advice at the right time. He doesn’t hesitate to reach out to colleagues to find solutions to changes in the market or network to find buyers. Jonathan is calm, funny. He listens and understands his clie...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
We had the pleasure of working with Molli and Jonathan to purchase our very first home in Oakland. Where do we begin with how amazing our experience was? From our initial meeting we could tell that they had a lot of integrity and we felt a great sense of trust. Jonathan encouraged us to expand our options and we’re so glad that we took his advice- without it we wouldn’t have found our dream home! As fir...
