Dean Bach has been a dedicated member of the @properties Christie's International Real Estate network since 2023, bringing decades of experience, strategic insight, and lifestyle-driven storytelling to every client relationship. His real estate career began in 1995 in the dynamic Birmingham and greater Oakland County markets, where he built a strong foundation in residential and luxury transactions.

For the past nine years, Dean has called Northern Michigan home, where he has specialized since 2020 in waterfront, luxury, log homes, and recreational properties across the region's most coveted landscapes. His deep local knowledge is matched by an equally strong commitment to the community. Dean serves on the Otsego County and Bagley Township Boards of Review and has served 6 years as a Board Member of the Otsego Lake Association, reflecting his long-standing dedication to stewardship, governance, and local engagement.

Dean's professional reach extends well beyond Northern Michigan. He actively practices real estate in South Florida and the Florida Keys, and he also serves as a real estate consultant in the South Caribbean island nation of Aruba, advising on luxury properties, market positioning, and cross-border opportunities.

Adding to his multifaceted career, Dean is an on-air host for HGTV's The American Dream, where he showcases luxury real estate, lifestyle, and community stories across multiple markets. His role on the show blends real estate expertise with media presence, offering clients unmatched exposure and a powerful storytelling platform.

Before real estate, Dean proudly served in the United States Marine Corps until 1988 and later pursued studies in Economics and Business at OCC–Walsh College—a background that continues to inform his disciplined, analytical approach to negotiations and deal structure.

Outside of real estate, Dean is a seasoned chef with over 20 years in the restaurant industry and has been a recurring featured chef on the FOX 2 Detroit Cooking School segment. His culinary background naturally complements his passion for entertaining, community fundraising, and bringing people together—whether around a table or a transaction.

At the core of Dean's work is a deep appreciation for negotiation, strategy, and relationships. He takes pride in guiding transactions to outcomes where all parties feel confident, informed, and well-served. Just as importantly, he believes in the restorative power of place—whether navigating Northern Michigan's snowy winters, sunlit summers, or the coastal beauty of Florida and the Caribbean.

With a rare blend of experience, media presence, global perspective, and local commitment, Dean Bach is a trusted advisor for clients seeking luxury, waterfront, recreational, and lifestyle properties across Northern Michigan, South Florida, the Florida Keys, and beyond.
