Why Dickson?

“Surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.”

Edmund Lee

In Praise & Pursuit of Real Estate’s Better Agents.

You’re OUT THERE. We know it. We feel it.

You, the steadfast, dreamer-doer professionals who define our industry at its very best. It’s not the spotlight you seek, but the joy of solving problems and creating possibilities. You move your clients’ lives beautifully forward. You elevate and celebrate every moment of their journey.

You are, if we may suggest, like us.

Here at Dickson Realty, real estate is more than a business, it’s a higher calling, an unblinking, all-in investment of soul, self, intelligence, and expertise that allows each of us to make profound differences both for our clients and the communities we all call home.

We

salute you, Better Agent, and herein declare our intention to recruit you to our ranks.

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground.”

Wilfred Peterson

Why Choose Dickson Realty?

I have been at Dickson Realty Truckee for over 8 years and continue to receive the support, resources, and the opportunities to grow my business. On top of some of the best agents, I feel there is a close camaraderie from my fellow associates who are always looking to help each other and offer support.

Perhaps and foremost for a very selfish reason – “it makes my life so much easier”! Yet, the more concrete reasons are the family feel I get when entering the office; the knowledge that ‘someone, our Broker, has my back’ at all times, the support I can count on when it comes to systems and equipment and of course the “Dicksonians” I see and greet daily!

Dickson provides the tools I need to succeed and always has their agents and clients’ best interests at heart. For me, it feels like a family. I love the collaborative nature of the office. In the sometimes-lonely world of selfemployment, I feel as though I am not alone, and am getting the support and infrastructure I need to truly thrive.

The Dickson brand is top-notch, and I know that I will succeed at a higher level with them. Not only does Dickson offer innovative solutions and resources, but their leadership and supporting staff are incredible. The environment has been warm and welcoming since I’ve joined the team. It truly is like one big and happy family.

I came to Dickson Realty in 2013 based solely on recommendation of a close friend in the residential development industry. Since then, I've come to know that there is no other brokerage in Truckee that is as involved in our community. It's a must for me to have the resources of a Broker who is local, who has a strong reputation and relationships, and who genuinely cares about maintaining integrity in this fast-paced, ever-changing industry.

Dickson Realty’s support system is unparalleled with hands on assistance from owners, brokers, fellow agents and staff who all work together to create a collaborative approach. In an industry that can be seen as competitive, Dickson Realty provides a kind and inviting work environment.

Why Choose Dickson Realty?

Kris Ferre

I knew of the great reputation that Dickson Realty had prior to joining the team and the experience has not disappointed. The atmosphere is one of mutual support with everyone working for the success of all, with Brokers that are always available to discuss a variety of situations, sharing their knowledge and expertise in a thoughtful and extremely helpful way.

Kenny Rutledge

The like mindedness of professionalism I have encountered at Dickson Realty surpasses anything I could have expected in joining a brokerage. Since the beginning I have had the full support of our brokers as well as the other agents I work alongside. I have made tremendous progress since joining Dickson Realty and cannot wait to see what the future holds for both myself and this amazing company. Dickson Realty is the real deal and I am very much appreciative to be a part of this amazing family.

Dickson Realty is big enough to provide us with up to date tools and support for success in all aspects of real estate, and the best support staff in the region, yet still able to retain a feeling of family – I always look forward to coming to work, working alongside professional agents who are also friends, and willing to help and support each other as needed.

Foundation of Who We Are.

Founded in 1973, Dickson is a family-owned and operated company defined by our ambition to bring forth the highest possible standards of humanity and professionalism in Northern Nevada’s real estate industry.

Ours is a culture of collaboration, camaraderie, and yes, joy. We support one another’s work and celebrate every success in an unapologetically vibrant and inspiring work environment.

Our aim is not to be the least-expensive brokerage to partner with, but rather to provide our agents with unrivaled value. Technology, location, training. We stop at nothing in helping our agents realize their greatest sales potential.

We’re a unique kind of real estate company and we, in keeping with our DNA, acknowledge that we’re not for everyone. We’re selective and strategic in our hiring because we know our brand success can only be achieved through a clearly shared vision.

We’ve partnered with Ninja Selling for over 20 years now as our preferred training program. More than a selling system, it’s a path we walk every day, a way of being in the world. It’s a lifestyle of gratitude and abundance, one of listening, understanding, and creating value. One of cultivating relationships, achieving goals, fulfilling dreams, and contributing to a better world.

We believe in putting the best tools in the best hands. That’s why we team up with the industry’s most-respected consulting, marketing, and IT experts, as well as some of the nation’s top real estate firms, to equip our agents with the kind of proven insights, tactics, and technologies that empower and maximize their success.

We have been, and will always be, steadfast members of the communities we live, work, and thrive in. We participate. We serve. We give back. And the Dickson Realty Community Fund is a powerful demonstration of our civic devotion. Established in 2020, it serves as a contribution platform that enables our agents and employees to join us in supporting organizations that improve the places we call home.

Leadership

We have a deep leadership bench which is what it takes to focus on the individual agent. We partner with our agents to get them to the next level of success.

We strive to provide unwavering and accessible leadership, fostering an inclusive office culture.

Cloud CMA is a program that all brokerages in Northern Nevada have access to as an NNRMLS benefit, but we have fully customized it here at Dickson Realty. We have added all of our company listing presentation pages as well as Annual Real Estate Review pages to Cloud CMA and keep them updated as they change.

Agents can save templates with the pages they like to use and put together CMA presentations in as little as 10 minutes.
