Dean Hunter, Mr. Small Multifamily™
Founder & CEO, Small Multifamily Owners Association
For more than a decade, Dean Hunter—known throughout the region as Mr. Small Multifamily™ —has been the leading voice and strongest advocate for small landlords. After years defending rental property owners in courtrooms, in the media, and at the District Building, Dean now channels that same intensity into one mission: helping small multifamily owners sell with clarity, confidence, and maximum return.
Dean understands the pressures facing today’s small landlords—rising operating costs, tightening regulations, tenant challenges, and the responsibility of protecting hard-earned equity. That’s why owners trust him when it’s time to evaluate selling. He delivers discreet, high-value transactions with a level of honesty, strategy, and personal attention that large brokerages simply cannot match.
Widely recognized as Washington, D.C.’s most trusted voice for rental property owners, Dean represents sellers of single-family rentals, condos, and small apartment buildings. His approach is simple and seller-first:
  • No games.
  • No pressure.
  • No conflicts of interest.
Just straight answers, precision pricing, and a tailored plan designed to protect your equity and maximize your exit.
As Founder and CEO of the Small Multifamily Owners Association, Dean leads a regional network of thousands of small landlords—giving him unmatched insight into buyer behavior, market timing, and policy trends that directly shape property values.
Dean is also the executive producer of Rent Burdened: The Fight to Save Affordable Housing, a documentary revealing how D.C. housing policy is driving small landlords out of the market—and why their properties are essential to the city’s future.

📞 Whether you’re ready to sell now or exploring your options, Dean offers the truth, strategy, and results that small multifamily owners deserve.
