We met Dean through happenstance, not actively looking for a relator. Within a few minutes of speaking with him, we knew he was different than any other we had met before. Dean understood our wants and needs even better than we did ourselves, which ultimately resulted in him finding us our forever home. Dean is an expert in all things housing (from septic systems to financing), and streamlined a very complicated transaction. We credit his honesty and persistence to us securing our home and will be forever grateful to him for making it happen.

We recently sold our family homestead in Weston, and Dean Poritzky was amazing! From the very first email we sent to inquire about his services, we knew that he would be the right person. His knowledge of the business, familiarity with the local market, and the networking that he has in place with others, is second to none. Anytime we reached out to him with a question or concern, we always received an immediate response back. He took what could have been a very confusing and complex process, and made it straightforward and painless. I would highly recommend Dean to anyone who is looking for a Realtor.

Dean has been truly fantastic at helping us find our dream home. He is exceptionally responsive and also proactive about bringing us new ideas and considerations. I feel like he cared as much about the outcome as we did - while being an "honest broker" about the pros and cons of each home we looked at. Dean has gone above and beyond for us - even helping us find our builder, meet neighbors, and even give great advice on paint colors. Very thankful we chose Dean to help us!!

Dean’s knowledge of the market, timing, presentation, communication and professionalism is unparalleled. Dean made the whole process of selling our home of 18 years enjoyable. We had utmost confidence that we were in the best hands with Dean as our agent, and we could sit back and simply accept the best of multiple offers. Our home sold in a Super Bowl weekend, and Dean was our MVP.

From the very beginning, working with Dean felt different. He wasn’t just our realtor—he became a trusted advocate and, truly, like a member of our family. As two busy physicians with young children, finding the perfect home in Wellesley felt daunting, but Dean made it seamless, guiding us with incredible dedication, patience, and expertise. He didn’t just help us find a house—he made sure we found the house, our dream home. Dean was always available, whether it was setting up meetings, answering our endless questions, or making sure every detail was taken care of. His commitment went far beyond the transaction—he genuinely cared about our family’s happiness. Even after closing, he remains a resource, helping us with home-related needs and connecting us with the right people. We truly believe that without Dean, this journey wouldn’t have been possible. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home search as if it were his own and stand by you every step of the way, Dean is simply the best. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

He refused me access to his open house when I introduced myself as someone from the neighborhood. He was very rude and this particular open house was empty with no visitors. The excuse was that he is closing up but after we left he was still there for a while because the open house went on for another hour . I would never hire someone like that to sell my house since he is turning potential customers away.

Dean was fantastic to work with! My wife and I are first-time homebuyers and Dean helped us through every step of the process, patiently answering all of our questions and making sure that we had a smooth and successful close. I would highly recommend working with Dean.

Dean was a terrific broker for the sale of my Wayland home. He was helpful throughout the process; guiding me through presale house prep, explaining the market and his pricing and sales strategy, staging the house and assisting me through closing. It all worked; I received four offers in two days. With Dean's guidance I was able to select the very best offer. I highly recommend Dean and Engles Volker Wellesley.

Without question, Dean is the best of the best! We have both bought and sold houses with Dean as have many of our closest friends. As a long time member of this community, he cares deeply about doing what is right for both the buyer and seller. Dean is in it for the long term and has developed an extensive network of professionals to help in any way necessary. As one example, in selling our last house we had an issue with our movers and Dean got a company to help us out on just four hours notice. That firm ended up being better than the one we had originally engaged! He is always available and is a pleasure to work with... I could not recommend anyone more highly than Dean Poritzky!!

Our experience with Dean was an entirely positive one. He was supportive, knowledgeable, honest and hard working. Dean demonstrated his expertise with every home and neighborhood we visited (e.g., home attributes, quality, shortcomings, comps). We are grateful for his partnership and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Dean is a consummate professional and true expert in real estate and home design. He understood our needs right away, never wasted time on homes that did not meet his/our standards, and guided us through what was important to consider when evaluating homes. He never rushed us and helped us navigate a yearlong search. Dean is an excellent communicator and clearly well-respected by his colleagues which made the negotiation process progress that much more smoothly. If we plan to sell/buy in the future, Dean will be our go-to agent.

Terrific experience working with Dean. He managed the process with skill from beginning to end. Understands the market and what is required to get the house ready for sale. It's sold in about 10 days at above market asking. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Dean is Integrity++. We’ve worked with him on buying or selling 4 properties over the last several years. We would never think of using anyone else - His keen perspective into current buying and selling situations have been spot on. A few local realtors will tell you what you want to hear and then you will be disappointed later. Dean is a straight shooter who has been incredibly accurate on both sides of a real estate transaction.We do not write five star recommendations easily.

Dean is a first-class real estate professional and role model. His experience, innovative strategy and market knowledge consistently shine through when helping clients with their real estate goals. A true pleasure to work with!

Dean is an exceptional Real Estate Broker who has a commitment to providing the highest level of service to all of his clients. Whether you are buying or selling Dean will assist you with every aspect of the moving process. I highly recommend Dean!

Dean has been an invaluable advisor and dedicated partner to help us find and secure our dream home in our dream town. After several years of real estate searching, Dean helped us understand the market, align our priorities, and find the perfect home. We had been looking in Concord, Wellesley, Newton, and Weston. Dean guided us by both explaining and answering our many questions about the 4 towns, as well as by patiently visiting house after house with us for 9 months before we closed on our home. His knowledge of the area is vast because he has lived here for many years and has deep personal ties to the community.Dean came with us to nearly every house we considered and was vital to our evaluation of the property. He helped us examine everything from water pipes to kitchen aesthetics and knew most realtors so well that we usually also had the opportunity to ask deeper questions of the seller's agent. Given Dean's previous experiences in both finance and renovating houses, he is able to advise knowledgeably on all aspects of the home buying process: not only can he evaluate what a house currently is, but he can also help you understand what it could realistically become. Even if he could not attend a showing with us, he would make sure to see the house separately so that he could give his view and debrief with us. During our negotiation processes, his relationships with the seller agents (especially in Weston and Wellesley) made it possible for us to bid competitively. Notably, Dean also ensured we did not overspend. He thought critically about the value of the properties we were looking at and devoted hours to evaluating comps with us, for multiple offer processes. In fact, Dean actually walked us back from overbidding and/or rushing into decisions in more than one instance. Even after we closed on our home, Dean continued to give us excellent advice on our renovations. His suggestions for good people to work with were thoughtful and well considered, and they helped to make our house truly our own.Dean was a committed and patient partner throughout our search. He never once pushed us to go for a property. He always simply answered questions, gave his evaluation, and helped us think about the opportunity and whether it fit our priorities. We highly recommend Dean and are extremely grateful to him for making our real estate dreams possible!

A true professional whose attention to his work is unrivaled, Dean should be your first call when Buying/Selling/Investing. He takes the time to understand your wants, and delivers every time.
