… What Clients are Saying about the Deason Group!

“In the competitive San Francisco luxury real estate market, Alan Martinez and Jonathan Deason have demonstrated that they’re in tune with current market trends, innovative and very professional in getting the job done. After our prior realtor was not able to get our beautiful ORH condo sold, we turned to Alan and Jonathan. With their creative marketing skills and hard work, they sold our condo in 2 months during a challenging market. They are simply the best!”

– Mary & Chris L.

"We interviewed four realtors who came highly recommended; from the moment we met them, Jonathan and Alan were the obvious choice. Their savvy about the San Francisco market combined with their hands-on high-touch approach made all the difference in helping us to get a great price for our home of 25 years during the pandemic. Jonathan and Alan had great recommendations for what to update (and not), what staging company to choose, how to market & price. We had an extensive disclosure packet, and Jonathan's legal background was a big plus. We also had a very unique property, and they met every single prospective buyer and gave them a tour, which allowed them to point out special features and answer questions on the spot. We were delighted with our experience and would give Jonathan and Alan our highest recommendation. They were a pleasure to work with."

- Marcy & Josh L.

"Jonathan helped me buy my first place in San Francisco back in 2011 and got me an incredible deal. For a decade, I loved my little one-bedroom. After a bathroom renovation, having to work at my desk in my kitchen for a year, and in the final stages of a condo conversion, I wanted something new and decided to buy a house in the East Bay. Going back to Jonathan was a no-brainer. And, I was even luckier because now he was working with Alan Martinez. Although my sale got extremely complicated, as it was happening in tandem with the last steps of the condo conversion, Jonathan and Alan assuaged my anxiety, went above and beyond in terms of working with my neighbors and escrow agent on the conversion, and sold my place for way more than I expected. Then, they turned around and helped me find a great house in Berkeley for much less than I expected to pay. Overall, a win, win, win. I can't recommend them enough."

-Rachel C.

“I truly enjoy working with Jonathan and Alan. While looking for my ideal place, we saw some really unique properties, I know San Francisco has its share of unique properties, but I think even Jonathan and Alan were surprised by what we dug up! With their insight, relationships, and impeccable reputation, I am now living in a dream. My purchase went through with only a small hiccup at the very end, and they were there with a win-win solution that kept everything on track. If you ask my opinion, I say The Deason Group is the ONLY realty group you need to call.”

– Keith B.

"Jonathan and Alan did an amazing job helping me sell my condo in SF as I was moving cross-country. I literally just left them the keys and hopped on a plane - I didn't need to lift a finger. They were very proactive in communicating updates and made the place look fantastic. It's a testament to their knowledge of the local market that they were able to make the sale to a very happy buyer in only a few short days. I highly recommend working with both of them when buying or selling in SF! Truly a white-glove service."

- William H.

“Working with the Deason group was an absolute joy. The team was very organized and experienced. They gave me honest feedback on the home sale and process, which helped me feel secure with the steps we were taking. Ultimately, I was very happy with the sale and their speed of execution and I would highly recommend them.”
