As the market languished in 2009, John J. Dean Jr. saw an opportunity to leverage his tech marketing and startup skills to provide a unique, tech-forward experience for homebuyers and sellers. He married his two passions for connecting with people and technology, creating an exciting new real estate experience. This union propelled him into a top-producing agent working with discriminating clients of luxury properties in just three short years.

“My superpower is the ability to deeply listen, create a refined game plan and then execute with certainty, integrity and first-class service,” says Dean. “My success selling property in a focused area is the direct result of the confidence placed in me by the numerous clients and their families who have shared their goals and imparted their dreams to me.”

When Dean relocated to Boston, he acclimated himself to the area by networking with local businesses and becoming the “go-to” person for interesting food experiences. As such, he’s earned certification and membership in several industry associations, such as past president of the Cambridge Association of Realtors and assisting Our Place Day Care, which serves homeless children in Cambridge.

 In 2017, Dean made a move to Engel & Völkers, known for its worldwide luxury lifestyle brand. He’s been recognized by the company as a World Class Elite Advisor, assisting first-time and luxury buyers, sellers and investors in Greater Boston and across the globe. When he’s not advising clients, Dean and his wife foster children, having adopted a daughter and hoping to grow their family again. He learned winemaking “the old way” with his grandfather and also enjoys fly fishing.
