About +ONE
+ONE is more than a residential real estate brokerage—it’s a firm built on the principles of urbanism, social equity, and community. These values aren’t just talking points; they shape every decision we make and every relationship we build. Through thoughtful initiatives and a client-first approach, +ONE not only delivers exceptional real estate services but also contributes to stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
Why Work With Us
What sets +ONE apart is a commitment to more than just closing deals. We understand that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most meaningful decisions, and we approach each transaction with care, integrity, and deep market expertise. Our mission is to ensure clients feel supported and empowered—while also knowing their investment helps foster vibrant, equitable communities.
About Jonathan Kelly
Jonathan Kelly, founder and managing broker of +ONE, brings over two decades of experience in real estate investment, development, and brokerage. With academic training in urban planning (UC San Diego), architecture (New School of Architecture), and social psychology (Penn State University), Jonathan combines technical knowledge with a nuanced understanding of people and place. This unique perspective allows him to guide clients through transactions with both precision and empathy.
A Philadelphia native now rooted in San Francisco’s Lower Pacific Heights, Jonathan is also a proud father of two young sons. Together, they can often be found exploring the outdoors—whether on the beach, hiking trails, or simply enjoying their neighborhood from the front stoop of their Victorian home.
Driven by a lifelong passion for cities and culture, Jonathan has traveled the world extensively, gaining inspiration from the intersections of travel, urban life, and the built environment. This global perspective continues to inform his work, enriching the client experience and reinforcing +ONE’s commitment to building not just homes, but community.
Where We Work
Our work has taken us across the Bay Area—from San Jose to Oakland, San Ramon to Berkeley, and everywhere in between—but our heart remains in San Francisco. This is where we live, work, and invest our energy every day.
+ONE is based in the geographic center of the city — in Lower Pacific Heights — a neighborhood that reflects the character and community values we strive to support throughout the city.
Interested in Working With Us?
We understand that real estate attracts people from diverse backgrounds—many of whom don’t fit into the traditional 9-to-5 mold. For some, real estate is a lifelong passion. For others, it’s a career that provides the freedom to explore other callings and interests. Agents often bring with them hobbies, creative pursuits, entrepreneurial ventures, volunteer work, or philanthropic commitments that enrich both their personal and professional lives.
At +ONE, we value this balance. Our goal is to create an environment where excellence in real estate can coexist with the pursuit of individual passions and interests.
