Top Individual Agents

We started our virtual awards ceremony by acknowledging the individuals who sold more than $20 million in sales volume in 2020. Many of these professionals are real estate veterans and continually setting new industry standards. They have shown an enormous amount of initiative to help clients find the right homes for their lives—whether that’s a newly-built townhome or a luxury million-dollar home.

Realtors in Reno - Jay KennyPositive Social Impact Award: Jay Kenny at Caughlin Ranch

Many of our fellow team members are involved with local businesses, charities, and community organizations making a difference. Not only is Jay Kenny one of our top real estate agents, but he is also an entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the owner of DoughBoys Donut Shop, he helped create the DoughBoys Foundation to support community members in need. 

Jay is also known to spend his birthday donating toys and his time to the patients at Renown Children’s Hospital. These are just a few of the ways Jay contributes and gives back to our communities.


Industry Excellence Award

Being an expert in the real estate industry requires a deep understanding of many areas, including appraisal, development, leasing, marketing, management, selling, and so much more. This year we recognized two agents who represent what it means to be a neighborhood expert and bring excellence to our industry. As natural-born leaders, they donate a significant amount of time to helping our association and community grow to its full potential. 


Legacy Award

Dickson Realty has been the source of real estate knowledge in Northern Nevada and Northeastern California for nearly five decades. Many of our top real estate agents have been with us for more than 20 years, including the two we recognized this year. Much of our success comes from their dedication to serve our community. We’re proud to celebrate their accomplishments as respected individuals and friends. 


Employees Of The Year Award

We had to revise our award this year to recognize more than one employee because the accounting department as a team deserved many kudos. Matt Lipkowitz, Caitlin Van Ornum, Dee Sykes, Tom Thorn, and Yvonne Zopp, worked long and hard hours to ensure that our agents, buyers, and sellers had as smooth of an experience a possible—and it couldn’t have been easy. We appreciate their dedication to helping file and process everything for our team. They are nothing short of impressive. 


We’re so proud of our extraordinary team, who are making a difference in the community. If you’d like to congratulate one of our top real estate agents, click here, or share this post on your favorite social media site and tag Dickson Realty.
