There is not a better team in the Rockford area than Frank and his staff. Frank, and the entire office are knowledgeable, responsive, and engaging. Whenever information is needed about the local market, financing options, or anything related to the relocation process, Frank is sincerely interested in meeting expectations. Tonya, Frank's assistant, is amazingly knowledgeable and is always helpful. The integrity and honesty of Frank's team members are unbelievably evident throughout the entire selling/buying processes. The team has a great work ethic and will work persistently to maintain customer satisfaction. From our experience, we will exclusively recommend Dickerson Nieman to our friends and colleagues for any real estate needs. Tim and Deb Dimke

Please accept my sincere thanks for everything you've done to sell my mom's house. It's not so much what you did, but how you did it. You exemplify the best of your profession.

Gaby Johnson is not the first real estate broker I've dealt with in my life, but she is the best. Professional with an welcome level of warmth and good humor. Hard working, responsive and she knows real estate law in Illinois and all its nuances. She is a skilled negotiator and was able to leverage multiple offers to get the best outcome for my mother's house. She is also very empathetic and reads and responds effectively to different family dynamics. She's excellent in every category! I can't recommend her highly enough.

Vicki Flanders is a SUPER WONDER WOMAN realtor. With our move, my 92-year old father was leaving his farm which he has lived on since 1964 and his “newer” house which he built 21 years ago for his “bride”. He relished every bush, every tree, every addition to the property which he personally made. To leave all these memories was very hard for him. Vicki listed his house and found an instant buyer for him. With lots of preparation, we listed his home on a Tuesday morning and it was sold that evening. Vicki was personally present with every decision to be made, every request, every detail of the inspection and matters to be dealt with. She was very one-on-one with Dad which eased his anxiousness and helped mentally see himself in a new home. She had grace, understanding, a tenderness and compassion for my dad’s heart and emotions. Honestly, with any other agent, Dad could have balked at any moment and changed his mind despite the costs to him. Vicki was an agent that treated my dad like he was hers. That was priceless. And her apple pie ain’t bad. :-) Dad says it was as good as Mom’s (who also won a blue ribbon at the Boone County Fair just as Vicki has multiple times!) Since he cannot have Mom's pies since she fell asleep last year, he was VERY thankful to have Vicki's! His favorite pie for all of his life has been apple pie so he is very much a connoisseur of apple pie and he judged Vicki's as one of the best! Our transaction in buying a home was very up and down emotionally due to the stress from Sellers, but Vicki and her professionally calming way smoothed all out and we are now happy campers having moved on to "higher ground"! Deeply appreciative of Vicki's heart, time and involvement. She's the real deal. Would recommend her a thousand times to any one.

Kathleen deserves 10 stars. She is a kind, thoughtful, caring person and that certainly was relayed to me throughout the whole process. She's a real estate angel, watching over your and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. I had spoke to two male brokers at different agencies and they seemed indifferent to working with me. The one I didn't like his phone demeanor and the other didn't call me back after I expressed an interest in several properties. My initial contact with Kathleen was pleasant, I explained what I was looking for, and within a few hours I had listings to look at. It's been a wonderful buying experience. I will most definitely refer anyone I know who is buying or selling to Kathleen. After the closing, she said to me several times, "if you're need anything, give me a call." So she doesn't feel she's done with a client once the deal is done. I can't thank her enough.

Tarina Frisella was always very responsive to all my questions and concerns. And I had a ton of them. Tarina is very knowledgeable and if she doesn't know the answer she will find someone who does. She was professional and so friendly. Easy to work with. Tarina is such a hardworking. I would recommend her to everyone.

It was a pleasure working with Chris Oysti to sell our home in Belvidere. The property sold in less than a week of listing and closed in 35 days! Chris did an amazing job of marketing our property and providing guidance throughout the process. Chris is honest, professional and very responsive; her attention to detail and knowledge of the local housing market made it very easy and profitable for us! I highly recommend Chris and Dickerson & Neiman.

Trusting Nancy was an easy decision to make for listing our home. We were familiar with Nancy’s diligence and outstanding care for her clients as she had represented us in the past with a real estate sale and purchase of property. Once we contacted her about the selling our home she was immediately responsive to help us with the entire process. Her familiarity with the availability of similar inventory, assessment of our property, preparation to sell and market representation of our home was stellar. She guided us throughout the contract period and necessary steps to assure a clean closure with our best interest at heart. Thanks Nancy!

Tyler was quick to help us narrow our wants and needs to find our best home. Made sure we had access to all new listings on day they came out so we could choose which to go see. And, once we were given opportunity to bid on house we thought we lost- Tyler got our bid accepted and we closed today!

Anna was very helpful. I was not sure what I wanted and exactly the price range and she was so good about showing me places that were in a few different price ranges along with different styles of homes. She was great with the fact that I had no idea. She Was very knowledgeable on every house that she showed me she did her research and made sure that she knew the answers to questions that I would have. And when we didn’t know the answer to some thing she was very good about getting back to me right away. We had some difficulty with the house that I ended up buying and she was so good about keeping me informed on everything that was going on. And making sure that everything was going the way it was supposed to for closing with inspections and all other things! Not that I plan to buy a house again anytime soon but I will definitely be using Anna again! And telling everyone that I know about her!

Kathleen was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of selling our home. She guided us through the difficult process of preparing our home and staging it for viewing. She also gave us many good tips on how to avoid problems and how to maximize the successful sale of our house. She helped us to sell our home on the first day of listing, at the asking price. Thank you Kathleen!

Selling your home can be a stressful ordeal. Working with Zach Thompson from Dickerson and Nieman was the best decision we could have made. From the start he made the process so much easier for my wife and I. His knowledge of every question we had made us have the confidence that he would get us to where we wanted to be. Once it was all said and done we walked away extremely happy with our sale of our home. Our future home is our next adventure and my realtor will always be Zach Thompson from Dickerson and Nieman

Kim was the absolute best! We were first time home buyers and she made the process very easy for us. Any time we had a question, Kim was there with the answer, or if she didn't know the answer, she would find it for us. She made sure we actually understood everything and explained it if we didn't. Whether you are a first time home buyer or just in need of a realtor, Kim Cooley would be your best choice!

My Husband and I were extremely happy with our agent, Noah Meyer. He was very thorough when explaining what went into selling our home and what the steps would be. Anytime I had a question he responded in a timely manner, if he didn’t know the answer he sought it out right away. We are using him to purchase our new home and will be referring Noah out to all our friends!

Kathleen makes it very easy to ask questions and quick to provide answers. She made the process very easy. I really appreciated the sheet that broke down 3 possible prices that my home could sell for, deductions that have to be made thus giving you the profit from the sale of your home.

Vicki was always fast on responding to our questions. She was great on recommendations when we needed to find someone to fix inspection issues. She kept us well informed during the entire process. We would recommend Vicki to anyone. She priced our house fairly that resulted in a quick sale above asking price. Mike & Barbara Morgan

Finding the right home was a long process for me and Jaclyn Rotello and Mark Payne were with me every step of the way. I cannot thank either of them enough for their support and encouragement when I got frustrated.Their knowledge and prompt attention were key in me finding the right house.I'm the 4th person in my family to use them and there's a reason for it.I will be forever grateful for the kindness and respect they showed my 95 year old grandpa when it came time to sell his condo.They are both personal and professional and are wonderful representatives of your agency.

What can we say about Becky? She was awesome to us. We met her at an open house in late February, and she was the only realtor who called us to follow up. Long story short, we broke her record, she showed us 57 properties. Our home of 16 years in Elgin sold just before the stay at home order in March. Buying and selling a home is stressful enough, but during a pandemic it is over the top. Becky was always available for us. She always returned our calls. We were all over the map looking for a home, and she always got us in the properties, even if it had an attribute we said we didn’t want. Becky is old school, she has INTEGRITY. She knows what she is doing. She is helpful, and more importantly, she is kind. It is obvious that she she loves what she does, and she does it well. We had a great realtor, and now we have a great friend. We love our new home in Loves Park, #57. Thank you Becky!

We heartily commend and recommend Realtor Gaby Johnson, who helped us with our recent house search and purchase. We were not easy to help by any means. First, we did not know the area. Second, we did not know exactly what we wanted in a home, and third, due to work, distance (over 1000 miles away), and child care complications, it was only possible for one of us to do the on-location portion of the search at a time. Gaby accommodated our needs with skill. She took the time to acquaint us with the area remotely. By listening to our reactions to various properties, she gathered the listings that were most likely to meet our wants and desires. After one two day tour by one of us, we narrowed the search to three and then to two homes. A final tour narrowed the selection to one. We made a reasonable offer somewhat below the already reduced asking price, and we accepted a modestly higher counteroffer. The process continued through inspection, loan processing, final walk-through (done during the lockdown), and to some necessary post-closing tasks. Gaby led us through all of it smoothly. The result is that we have the home of our dreams and some extremely pleasant memories of the process. I should add that this is the most recent home purchase for me, but there have been many before it. This was by far the most difficult and the most pleasant. Other Realtors might have put up with us because that is the way they earn their livings, but Gaby seemed to enjoy working with us, perhaps because it was so challenging. She is a true professional, and we look forward to her help in the future if we find the need to move again.

Kathleen has sold several properties for me and and I have purchased property through her. Kathleen always made the process easy and stress free. Her experience selling real estate is evident during the entire process of buying or selling a home. Kathleen is the only realtor I would use when buying or selling residential real estate.

Dana was honest and up front with us from the beginning and throughout the selling process. She was always available by email, phone and texting with prompt responses. She always provided us with good and bad showing feedback. Dana helped us sell our daughters house in a short amount of time with no issues.

From start to finish, Frank made the house-buying process as straightforward as possible and we are incredibly grateful for his help in finding our dream home. He had great insight into the area, he was very responsive to questions, and he went above and beyond to make this process easier on us (especially given that we were first time home buyers). We would highly recommend his services to anyone purchasing a home in the area.

Kathleen was so amazing throughout the whole journey of buying a condo. Seeing as I was from out of town she went above and beyond to accommodate our limited timeline when we were visiting. Afterward she was such a great help and driving force throughout the whole process. Her knowledge about the area and everything related to buying the condo was indispensable and she was always available whenever I had any questions. I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen as a realtor, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the Rockford area.

Jaclyn made my home search and purchase completely stress free. Responses to my questions were answered quickly, showings were set up lightning fast, and she always made me feel like I was her #1 priority. As long as Jaclyn is in real estate, I’ll send anyone I know buying or selling a home her way without hesitation.

Our experience with Dickerson Nieman Realtors was second to none! My wife and I were very pleased with the commitment our realtor, Steve Hawkins, showed throughout our home buying experience. He was always available to answer any questions we had and made the entire process so easy for us! He found us great homes to tour in the area we were looking for and offered up great suggestions and comments on the areas we were unfamiliar with. This is the first home we've purchased, so he walked us through the entire process and made all the contracts and negotiations so much easier. We are so thankful that we went with Steve at Dickerson Nieman, and couldn't be happier with our new home!!

Mark provided a first-class experience on both sides of the transaction. He helped us purchase our dream house and put our minds at ease quickly by selling our prior home in 3 days at full asking price. Mark was professional, responsive, and made this process as easy as possible. There's good reason why Mark has been consistently ranked among the top realtors in the Rockford region. I will continue to refer Mark to my friends, family, and clients. Thanks for everything, Mark!
