Tom and I had the best experience with Jennifer Ziss. When we started looking over a year ago we thought we would never find anything. Prices were and are crazy.
Jennifer never gave up on us. She is so caring and has such a positive attitude. Tom and I were very discouraged losing each time we put in an offer. We finally put a bid on a place for the second time and it was finally excepted. Jennifer Ziss is an Amazing relator and we are so blessed to have worked with her. Our family is so happy in our new home.

Working with Deborah Laudicina at Dickerson & Nieman Realtors has been nothing short of outstanding. Deborah referred her buyer to me for lending, and from day one, her professionalism and communication stood out. She’s incredibly responsive, deeply knowledgeable about the local market, and a true advocate for her clients when it comes to negotiation and protecting their interests.
If you’re buying or selling in the area, you’ll want Deborah in your corner. She embodies everything you expect from a top Dickerson & Nieman agent — responsiveness, local expertise, and sharp negotiation skills that get deals across the finish line smoothly.
Proud to partner with someone who truly puts her clients first.

We had an outstanding experience working with Brittany. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to helping us find our home. She took time to understand what we were looking for and guided us through every step with patience and professionalism. Her communication was excellent, we always felt informed and supported, and she was quick to answer any questions we had. She was truly the best and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

Vickie didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile she drove 1-1/2 hours one way to meet me to sign documents. She’s extremely knowledgeable of the area for market value. Her years of experience and dedication are proven by the multiple showings and offers in just two days. We were able to close in less than one week due to our urgent situation. We can’t HIGHLY recommend her enough. Thank you Vicki

Steve always responded swiftly when we wanted to see a house & he made the showings happen…he stuck with us through 6 failed offers in a crazy housing market. He even walked into a house in which we had a scheduled showing & came back out & told us we did not want to see the house because it was terrible on the inside. When we finally found the “right one” closing went so smoothly, very easy process. From beginning to end, Steve was there for us!

Working with Brad Martin at Dickerson & Nieman was an outstanding experience. As a pharmacist who values precision, I really appreciated his attention to detail, quick communication, and proactive updates throughout the process. Brad is friendly, professional, and easy to trust as he made everything smooth and stress-free. When small issues came up he handled them calmly and efficiently, always finding solutions before they became problems. His knowledge of the Rockford and Rockton markets and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a realtor who is dependable, responsive, and goes above and beyond every step of the way.

Our experience with Danielle exceeded every expectation! Choosing to work with her was hands down the best decision we made once we got serious about buying a home. From day one, she went above and beyond to make sure we understood every part of the process and never hesitated to answer our many questions. Her deep market knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made her a true 5-star Realtor in our eyes. We absolutely loved working with her and honestly, we’ll miss her now that we’ve closed!
Danielle took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and guided us through every step with honesty, professionalism, and a lot of patience. Whether it was quickly scheduling showings in our fast-moving neighborhood, helping us navigate the disappointments, or celebrating the exciting moment when we finally got our dream home, she was right there with us every step of the way.
We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor who truly cares and delivers outstanding results!

If I could give Joe Eurek more than five stars I would. He absolutely goes the extra mile on absolutely everything. He's incredibly responsive and helpful and answers all of our questions, even the really ridiculous ones. He truly has your best interest in mind every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a more honest and trustworthy realtor. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor or just experience in general. From start to finish, Deb was on our journey with us! She is absolutely amazing- professional, reliable, and always there when we needed guidance. Not only did she work tirelessly to help us through every step, but she also made the entire experience feel welcoming and stress-free. Deb is more than just a “realtor “! She loves you like you’re her own family! I mean who buys your child Dunkin’ Donuts, just because they love it ?! It was so amazing to feel supported and valued during such a big change and move! If you’re looking for someone hardworking, trustworthy, and truly a dedicated person, look no further! She knows everything she needs to know about houses and if not she will find it out for you! Deb is a true rockstar and I wish I could give her an even higher rating than a 5! Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I! You mean the world to us!

My daughter, Amy Gehrke and Ginger are good friends as Ginger sold her beautiful home a couple of years ago, so she contacted Ginger and she did another quick deal and sold my condo in short order. Ginger is a very pleasant person and a delight to work with. Her real estate knowledge goes a very long way and she has conclusions to any problem or concern that may come along. My husband worked with the same real estate while he was alive and I learned quite a bit about real estate and Ginger knew it all!!! It was really a joy to work with her--she has answers to all questions!!!! Sheri Anderson Widow to Marlow

Peyton was always available to us even when our work schedules made it difficult to find times. He even had another realtor show us a house that we were interested in when he was unavailable. He got all the information we needed in a timely manner and was super nice throughout the whole process.

We have had the pleasure of working with Kathy Jarvis multiple times, both buying and selling, and she has been nothing short of amazing each time. Most recently, she helped us sell our home as we prepared to relocate for work. She guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and care, offering excellent advice that truly made a difference. She went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and worked tirelessly to help us sell quickly, which was such a blessing during a stressful transition.
Her knowledge of the market, professionalism, and genuine commitment to her clients shine through in everything she does. We are so grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough. We truly appreciate the way she always puts her clients first and treats every situation with excellence. If you are looking for someone who will not only get the job done but also go the extra mile, we highly recommend Kathy Jarvis!

Words cannot properly express how grateful we are for having Brittany as our agent. This was our first ever home purchase and she provided us with all the knowledge we needed to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was also extremely responsive and scheduled all of our showings promptly. We always felt like Brittany actually cared about finding us a home that checked all of our boxes rather than just trying to close a sale. If we ever decide to sell in the future, Brittany will be the first person we reach out to for assistance again. We truly appreciate everything she has done for us. Thank you Brittany!

Lora was excellent from the first moment we met. She was professional, friendly and always answered my questions, no matter how complicated they were. I thought selling my house would be stressful, she made all the worries disappear. I had many offers within 24 hours because she knew how price my home. I can't recommend her enough. I loved working with Lora, she is the best!!

Lora, guided us through the search for a new home professionally and with candor. She told us that the local housing market might prove challenging and so after an extensive search for an existing home we decided to build. Her recommendation for a builder was perfect and we are very happy with the outcome. Along the way she remained in contact with us and continued to make valued suggestions. I would highly recommend Lora to anyone who’s seeking a new or existing home for knowledge of the market, resources and her excellent follow up. She helped us at every step .

Always there for my questions and concerns. He negotiated my last offer up $2,000 above the other best offers! Noah assured me that I would get the amount of money that I needed and exceeded by nearly $100,000.
He was great always!
Had to write a contract three times and then get me out of two of those contracts. I was happy with the speed of the process, the automation of viewing scheduling, but the ability and knowledge of an experienced and smart realtor.
Always pleasant and knowledgeable
I would recommend to anyone looking to list their home.

Breanne Kleindl reached out to us when we were selling For Sale By Owner. She facilitated for us her excellent local market knowledge and by doing her research, she understood property values in our area, so we were able to sell our home over our original asking price.
She was a great and effective negotiator on our behalf. Securing us the best possible deal.
She was responsive, clear, and proactive in her communications. Keeping us informed every step of the way, no matter the time, day or night. But beyond all of that, we really connected with her. She was friendly and approachable making us feel at ease from the start. Like we were working with a trusted friend.
We highly recommend her. She was very knowledgeable and did an exceptional job going above and beyond, making the process smooth and stress-free.
Thank you Breanne for your professionalism.

Ann. Brady was very attentive to my needs and wants when looking for a home. She was very patient during my 4 month house hunt and never was frustrated. When I would get discouraged during the house hunt due to current market status, she stayed very positive. Now I am happy to say with Ann’s thorough and professional realtor capabilities I am a proud owner of a home. Thank you Ann.

Noah did an outstanding job helping us purchase our first home. It was a worry-free process, because we always knew that Noah had everything taken care of. He always had our best interests in mind. Noah was patient, honest, determined, hard-working, and extremely detailed. Purchasing a home is very stressful, but not with Noah! He kept us well informed and explained our questions thoroughly. Noah also went above and beyond to help us with a difficult land purchase beyond our home. I would recommend him to anyone!

Ive worked with a handful of realtors in the past, but Cheryl is our favorite (and not just because we got lucky the first time). Weve worked with her probably 6-7 times now, and every single time she delivers.
Now that shes with Dickerson & Nieman it makes working with her even easier (definitely preferred over our experience with Gambino). Cheryl is easygoing, fun to work with, and makes the whole process way less stressful than it has to be. & Dont let her fun personality fool you...she knows her stuff and handles business when it counts. Highly recommend (but dont keep her to busy because I still need her!)

Sarah did a spectacular job selling my mother's house. She went above and beyond and most importantly treated us like family. We couldnt have done this without her. From start to finish she did an awesome job. If you are wanting to sell your home I recommend her 100 percent. We appreciate all her hardwork and everything she has done for our family and are forever grateful.

Ginger has been a constant source of guidance and support since she first helped my mom find a home nearly ten years ago. Since then, she’s helped me sell my home, buy a new one with my mom, and now she’s preparing to help us sell my mom’s property as we complete our final transition.
Throughout it all, Ginger has been incredible. She communicates in the way that works best for me — texting — and never misses a detail. She remembers conversations, follows up consistently, and always keeps our best interest at heart. At our recent closing, my mom even pointed out how Ginger caught something important — the senior tax exemption — that we would’ve completely missed without her. That’s just who she is: always looking out for her clients.
Over the years, we’ve thrown some pretty complicated situations her way — from trying to find a three-family home to accommodate a declining family member, to weathering a long stretch of employment uncertainty — and Ginger stuck with us the whole time. She listened, she advised (even when our ideas were off the wall), and she always treated us with respect, patience, and kindness.
Homebuying is never easy, especially in this market and with our circumstances. But Ginger made it possible. We're steps from our finish line, and we couldn’t have done it without her. We're so incredibly grateful.

Kelli was just the agent we needed. We are new to the area and Kelli’s knowledge of Rockford and the surrounding areas helped us decide our preferred home location. She was diligent in helping us search for our dream home in a fast market and then her effective negotiation skills helped us close quickly. We are very thankful for Kelli’s excellent work.

Dawn helped us navigate the Rockford real estate market for 8 months as we looked for a home. She immediately got to know our family and what we were looking for in terms of location and style. She was quick to answer phone calls and text messages whenever we had a question, and she checked in frequently,either to suggest a newly-listed home or to ensure that we were doing okay. When it came time to make an offer on our home, Dawn gave advice in terms that made sense to us, and this past week we closed on a beautiful house that will meet our family's needs for years to come.
