Why Dickson?

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

Edmund Lee

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.

Doug Schroder

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!

Anna Grahn-Nilsson

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.

Barb Wilkinson

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.

Jennifer Gomez

Valerie Brinker

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.

Ally Raber

Why Choose Dickson Realty?

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.

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.

Be in the Flow

Dickson Realty offers an automated FLOW plan that helps agents stay connected with clients.

Each FLOW piece is designed to show clients that we love the lifestyle in our region, are supportive of local community events, non-profits and businesses, and are the neighborhood experts. And the best part... once set up, the program keeps you in touch with your clients automatically.

YOU become their trusted source of real estate and community information.

Market Reports & Videos

We produce a multitude of vibrant reports and videos for all markets in the region that you have mailed to your clients or emailed automatically monthly or quarterly.

Community Involvement

Supporting the community has been a hallmark of Dickson Realty from the beginning. Through various charitable organizations, Dickson Realty brokers, agents and employees give their extensive time and resources to help improve life in our Truckee/Lake Tahoe/Northern Nevada community. These are just some of the numerous groups we support on a regular basis.

RealScout Listing Alerts

Agents at Dickson are provided with a top-of-the-line platform to send listings to buyers and sellers that match their criteria.

The entire focus of RealScout is to give your clients a better user experience for searching for properties online without being exposed to other realtors' ads.

Clients love to compare up to three homes side by side and room by room.

Monthly Email Newsletter

Titled 'The Local Insider', our monthly newsletter features professionally written blog posts from our highly successful blog on a wide range of real estate and community topics.

Agents can have it sent automatically from themselves to their clients.

Cloud CMA

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.
