About

Real estate from someone who grew up on this coast.

Dettman Realty Group is the real estate brokerage of Dettman Properties, led by Derek Dettman. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Derek has spent over fifteen years helping people buy and sell across South Florida, from the waterfront estates of Harbor Beach to the bungalows of Wilton Manors.

He holds a finance degree from the University of Miami and an MBA in real estate from the University of Florida, and he knows these neighborhoods the way someone does who grew up in them. Which streets flood. Which buildings have assessments coming. What a house on your block is really worth in August, not just what the listing says.

How we work

We handle the full range of residential real estate: buyers, sellers, and investors. That means finding the right home, pricing and marketing a property for sale, and reading a market that shifts street by street in South Florida.

Whether it is a first purchase or an investment property, the work is the same. Know the neighborhood, know the numbers, and represent one side well. And if we think you are overpricing it, or buying at the wrong time, we will tell you.

Part of the Dettman family of companies

Dettman Realty Group is one part of Dettman Properties, a family business that has worked in Fort Lauderdale property for over forty years. Buy a home through us, rent it out through us, insure it through us, and it is the same family the whole way.
