Agent was experienced and explained every detail in full so we understood process. Always available and called in regularly with updates and ask if we have any questions. ( which we had several ) Very professional. Received offer within 3 days. Christie had professional photographer take photos of house for listing on internet and obviously well worth her expense. Would definitely recommend Christie to anyone I know selling/buying a home

We had an outstanding experience with Broker, Lyrah Austin-Bushnell of Dickerson & Nieman Realtors. Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions we make as hard working people. We view our home as an investment and had a strong wish to retain what we put into it when we sold it. Lyrah Austin-Bushnell respects that ideal and was there to provide answers, day or night. During the sale of our older home we had an overlapping purchase of a new home; it was seamless for us. She took care of everything. We will hire Lyrah again in the future when we need to sell or buy a home, and would recommend her to anyone who needs guidance doing so. Thank you Lyrah, you’ve helped us become happy homeowners.

Kim was very knowledgeable and helpful in my first home purchase. I chose Kim because she helped my mom purchase a mobile home a few years back and she was very helpful then as well. She knows the market and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Even taking me to a few homes several times as I made my decision on which house I was going to purchase. I will most definitely recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home and I will use her again if I am ever looking to buy/sell in the future.

I am very glad we went with Chris Oysti as our agent to sell and buy our dream house. She is very knowledgeable in the area and was able to show us many houses that were in our budget and what we were looking for. When the house that we did buy went on the market she was able to get us in that night before anyone else saw it. Even after the closing Chris has still been available to us and that has been very helpful to my wife and I.

Alisa was a hugely valuable help in so many ways. She went above and beyond a few times getting the details worked out, and never complained; she gave us some great advice on the ins and outs of owning rental properties; she really listened to us and helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and she helped us avoid paying too much for it. We would recommend her highly to anyone we know and we would happily buy or sell a house with her again.

Chris was constantly vigilant in identifying new properties for my wife and I to look in to. She was very responsive and helped us to get an early jump on our new home when it first came on to the market. This allowed us to negotiate effectively and close the deal quickly. We had a great experience from the very start of our home buying experience. We are extremely grateful for Chris's knowledge of the area, responsiveness, and tenacity. We now have a beautiful new home!

When Rich & I initially had our home for sale by owner, Mike Long made the effort to come to our home & discuss the benefits of listing & described what he would do for us. We both agreed that evening to list with him and we were very comfortable working with him throughout the process. He stayed with us the several months it took until our home sold, which was during the down-turn in the real estate market. We both consider Mike our friend and would recommend him to others.

Our experience was very positive. Mike Long is a very honest, trustworthy and knowledgable realtor. He was very professional and made himself available at all times to answer any questions we had. Our home was sold very quickly due to the professionalism and enthusiasm that Mike had put forth to satisfy us and the buyer. I would highly recommend Mike Long and Dickerson & Nieman Realtors to assist with your real estate needs.

I have worked with Mike on some previous real estate sales and purchases. Market knowledge and broad connection base made the transactions smooth and fast. Our latest sale took place during a really tough market. The house moved within 90 days and we received nearly our asking price. Having a realtor with extensive local knowledge and connections is the key to a successful sale!

I found Mike Long to be very knowledgeable of the marketing area. He is a tireless worker and very responsive with returning all phone calls promptly. Common sense goes a long way in matching buyer and seller and making a deal come to fruition.

Mike Long was very helpful and professional. He made the entire home-buying process simple and easy to understand. I recommend him to my friends and family who are interested in purchasing a home. If I have any future realty needs, I will definitely be using Mike again.

Mike Long was terrific at taking care of all the details for an out-of-state Trustee who was trying to sell a residential rental property. It was an awkward situation which he handled beautifully. The house was priced right so that we had an offer in just weeks. The transaction closed without problems and without the Trustee needing to travel to closing. He was on top of it.

Alisa Patterson is the most professional agent with whom I have worked. Her knowledge of the local market is excellent. Alisa worked tirelessly to promote my property and followed up with me after each showing with honest comments and often suggestions for future showings. Alisa worked with me to select materials, hired contractors when necessary, and supervised renovations, as I live hours away. She successfully sold my property and demonstrated her outstanding attention to detail throughout the negotiations and closing process. I highly recommend Alisa to be your partner when selling your property.

Returning client of Ray's. He sold my first home about 15yrs.ago with only one showing~Full price offer. This home he sold quickly as well, over list price... Very professional and patient. Discussed in detail each step of the real estate process to all of us, making the transaction seamless and smooth. Excellent experience again! When you have a smart and hard working real estate agent like Ray Young, the behind the scenes work he does, makes the process smooth and low key for us as a seller. He goes above and beyond for his clients!

We are delighted to share our experience with Kathleen Kline who recently acted as our Real Estate representative. We have re-located from Arizona to Rockford, IL. where we had previously lived. Kathleen was recommended by a close friend and our experience began. Throughout the process of a long distance move Kathleen was invaluable to us. She operated in a truly professional manner helping us through a stressful time. On our trips back house hunting she was responsive to our needs and always had numerous properties lined up for our viewing. When we found our new home she guided us through the negotiations, inspections, closing, financing, insurance and many other needs. In addition she recommended painters, various tradesmen and many sources to help in turning this "house" into "our home". Kathleen also recommended we purchase a home warranty through "HSA Home Warranty". This turned out to be a wonderful investment as we recently had to re-place our central air conditioning system. This was accomplished with very little cost to ourselves. The home warranty has given us peace of mind knowing we won't incur any major expenses in the future. Kathleen is a wonderful Real Estate agent as well as a genuinely great person. She continues to be a resource for us as well as a good friend. We strongly urge anyone to avail themselves of her services!

Thank you for everything. Trish Paesani

Tam was wonderful to work with. She was very attentive to what I was looking for in a house, and my likes and dislikes. She was very patient with me as we looked through many homes before I decided on the house I finally put an offer in on. Through the whole closing process, she was right there and walked me through it step by step. She answered all of my questions, and shared some of her experiences.

Shelley Martin helped make our first home buying experience a pleasurable one. She responded almost immediately whenever we contacted her with questions or the possibility of going to look at a house. Shelley has been doing this for a long time in the Rockford area, and her knowledge of the market was on display from the first time we met her. She knew the housing trends and pointed out certain things to look for that first-time home buyers might not know to check. She came to every home viewing with us, made sure we knew exactly what to look for and made sure it matched up with our desires and needs in a home. When we found the house we wanted, Shelley worked quickly to make sure we got it. With the low number of quality houses on the market at the time, she knew the house would sell fast and made sure we made a competitive offer to get into the house as soon as possible. When looking for an agent, Shelley is the total package, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Rockford.

As a first time home buyer, I had difficulty finding a realtor that would take me seriously and put the time and effort into finding me a great first house. With Brandon, I never had any problems. He was always available to look at houses or answer questions, and he made the process extremely easy. Even during the rough patches, he took care of each problem before I had time to stress about them. He was fantastic to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

Shelley Martin helped us with realistic pricing, noting the several important items to correct. She presented the house and neighborhood together, identifying strengths to possible buyers while honestly showing the challenges. She spent time with us after showings. Her notes and e-mails kept us very informed on the status of possible buyers. Once we had an offer she helped with all the necessary preparation for a VERY successful closing. I would only use Shelley Martin to represent me buying or selling a house in the Rockford area.

My experience was great! Brandon really knew what he was doing and helped me look out for things that I never would have noticed on my own. He was really easy to work with and was always able to work with my schedule. The entire process was made more straightforward than I thought was possible. Thanks! I'll definitely recommend him in the future.

He was always available when needed and was always one step ahead! This was the best experience we have had! He worked for us and treated us as we were his only customers! Ray Young is amazing at what he does and we are greatful for everything he did for us!! Not only do we have a realtor but a dear friend! Thank you again for everything!

Adam was knowledgeable of the area and offered us many homes to review prior to purchase. We had a short timetable and he moved quickly to help us find the best home to meet our needs. This is the second home he helped us purchase and both times we would rate him with the highest marks we could. I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for a new home to purchase in the area.

Gail Caplinger was very professional. We worked with her for 3 years and she never pushed us or said she did not want to work with us after a long time of looking. I would recommend her to anyone that I knew was looking to buy or sell. Gail was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions over the entire time we worked with her. I feel she represented us well.

We meet Steve going through an open house on a Sunday afternoon. Steve instantly is a likable guy. He was so easy to talk to and willing to help us when we were ready. A month or so after meeting Steve, we called him and asked for his help in buying a new home. He scheduled a tour to fit our schedule and drove us to each home that we had interest in, he is so accommodating! We found a home that we loved. Steve helped us fill out the paperwork and the rest is history! I feel very fortunate that we found Steve and that he is such an amazing Realtor!!

I had worked with Shelley Martine for nearly two years. She epitomizes the perfect real estate agent. She has all the "p's"; pleasant, professional, prompt, and persevering. She never gave up on me and my quest for the perfect house, never seemed tired of helping me, always answered my calls immediately. I can't think of anyone who could have been kinder to me, and done a better job. Would I recommend her? Absolutely!!

Jane is the best of the best. She responds promptly. Her thoroughness and attention to detail was vital in making a decision regarding the condo we bought. She helped us negotiate the price down, getting us a great deal. She is a true professional. It also helps that she has a great spirit to her. She always make this process fun! We will use her again and can't recommend her enough!

Mark Payne has a great knowledge of the local market and will make sure that you find a home that suits your family's needs. By getting to know me and the details I was looking for when purchasing, Mark was able to show me houses that I would be interested in. He didn't waste time showing me places that my family and I would not consider. I will definitely be using his services again in the future.

I have had several exceptional experiences with Mark Payne. He has helped me personally purchase my first home. Mark made a daunting first-time home search very easy for me by presenting me with a variety of homes that fit my personal criteria. He is very patient and his style isn't "salesy" which is refreshing. Professionally I have referred many of my clients to utilize Mark's expertise in a variety of geographic areas and he always receives rave reviews from my clients (which makes me happy!). Mark is the first person I think of when I hear that a friend/client is looking to buy/sell a home. I never hesitate to put people in contact with Mark. Mark Payne and Dickerson & Nieman Realtors provide a first class experience!

Sandy was given the job of selling my mother's house, where she had lived for 60+ years. The house did not show well, was on a busy street, and it was winter. We figured we would be sitting on it for 6 months or more. Sandy found a buyer within 33 days, worked with both parties to make sure the house would qualify for the FHA loan and negotiated a split on some of the costs of repairs. I have known Sandy for many years, and she is very hard worker, is extremely ethical, and knows Rockford real estate inside and out. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a home in the area.

I have bought two houses with Jayne no and I couldn't imagine doing this without her. Working with Jayne is truly a pleasure. She patietly and thouroughly walked us through each step of the process making sure we fully understood everything. We ran into several unusal circumstances that would test any agent's honestly and integrity and Jayne never waivered. She is a class act and always professional.

My experience with Kim was great. I am not a person that writes off the cuff reviews well, but I know that all the details were handled in a professional matter, as well as things were taken care of in a timely matter as well. It was pleasurable experience as far as selling a house can be with the many things that can transpire.
