#CA DRE 02020615Minna Millare is the founder of Minna Millare Group at Compass, recognized for her strategic expertise in buying, selling, investing, and long-term value creation throughout San Francisco.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Minna possesses an exceptional understanding of the city’s neighborhoods, architecture, and evolving market dynamics. Her multidisciplinary background encompasses real estate, construction, remodeling, finance, technology, sales, and luxury client services, enabling her to advise clients with a depth of insight that extends well beyond the transaction itself.
Minna’s advisory approach is grounded in strategy and education. She assists clients in evaluating not only a property’s current value, but also its future potential—identifying remodeling opportunities, investment prospects, neighborhood trends, and long-term appreciation potential. Whether representing a first-time buyer, an experienced investor, or a family preparing to sell a cherished home, she is known for delivering clarity, precision, and thoughtful guidance throughout every stage of the process.
Prior to entering the real estate industry, Minna held leadership positions in supply chain operations at Intuit and developed extensive expertise in financial services, remodeling, sales, and the luxury automotive sector with Mercedes-Benz. These experiences cultivated the analytical perspective, relationship-focused approach, and commitment to excellence that characterize her work today.
Supported by Compass and its industry-leading technology platform, Minna integrates deep local market knowledge with innovative marketing strategies and a highly personalized client experience. Her mission is to help clients make informed decisions that generate enduring value for generations to come.
Outside of her professional endeavors, Minna is a proud mother of two, a certified educator with the Alzheimer’s Association, and a former Ambassador for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. She enjoys exploring the city she has always called home alongside her two beloved Shiba Inus and remains deeply engaged with the communities she serves.
Her philosophy is reflected in a favorite proverb:
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Minna made our dreams come true. We worked with her from September to December 2020. During this time, we visited over 20 properties, and Minna was fantastic from start to finish. She was amazingly responsive. I don’t think I sent a single text to her without a response in less than a minute. It really made me feel prioritized. Her local area knowledge is very deep. For several properties that we conside...

Minna is the best agent that we could have asked for. She is extremely knowledgeable and aggressive in her approach. In the current crazy real estate market, you cannot win without an agent like Minna. She is such a patient person who showed us homes for months without ever batting an eyelid to travel 100 miles almost every day just to see even one house that we liked. She let us take our time in underst...

Minna is excellent. I accidentally met Minna at an open house while I already had an agent. Even though I told her I was already working with a different agent at the time, she still accommodated me, showed me the house, and told me pointers. My only regret was that I waited more than six months before I contacted her again. As a first-time home buyer in the Bay Area, it was tough to find a home, but now...
