Consistently a top producer in local, state and national rankings, Donna Dickson’s illustrious real estate career began approximately nineteen years ago. With the help of her husband, Christopher Dickson, they founded The Dickson Group, a perennial leader in New Jersey real estate sales.
In 2017, Donna ranked the #2 individual agent in all of Coldwell Banker New Jersey & Rockland and received the prestigious New Jersey Realtors’ Circle of Excellence Award as a Gold Level Recipient. She has consistently earned this honor throughout the course of her career.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the average agent sells three homes a year. Donna sells an average of seven homes each month! She has a proven track record of success and years of experience.
Fortunately for Donna’s clients, her experience translates into a unique skill set that helps them achieve their goals. The first example of this is Donna’s strong negotiation ability. She understands how to negotiate her clients an advantage during the initial offer process and knows how to sustain that advantage in negotiations involving home inspection, appraisal or final walkthrough.
The second example is in pricing. Having priced thousands of homes throughout her career, Donna knows the pulse of the market and can identify value. This is exactly the type of resource both buyers and sellers need to guide them through their difficult decisions in real estate.
A third example involves Donna’s career before real estate sales, when she worked as a supervisor at a mortgage company. This foundation provides her with an understanding of the mortgage process. She can easily guide her clients through any and all challenge, from applying for a mortgage to the closing table.
Finally, and most importantly, Donna’s success in real estate has not jaded her to the importance of the home. No matter the number of sales, she still takes the time to treat people like people and not just another number. She recognizes that buying and selling a home is not just a financial experience, but an emotional one as well. She works with both buyers and sellers, and gets great satisfaction out of helping her clients realize their life goals and dreams, whether buying their first home, upgrading to a larger home, or downsizing. No matter what stage of life you are in, Donna has the experience to help you make your dream a reality!
