Rory joins Dickson Realty after a 20-year career with the University of Nevada in Reno. As the former Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Nevada, Rory oversaw most of the day-to-day operations for Wolf Pack athletics, including all revenue areas. Under his leadership, the program was able to generate over $125 million in private support for scholarships, operations and capital projects. He also oversaw several sports, including baseball, volleyball and the men’s and women’s basketball programs. During his tenure, Nevada’s teams captured 28 conference championships and 34 NCAA tournament berths, including two Sweet 16 appearances in men’s basketball.
Coming to Dickson Realty marks a return to the real estate industry for Rory. Prior to working at the University of Nevada, he led the marketing efforts for a leading title and escrow company in Reno from 1990-2000.
As a northern Nevada native, Rory is proud to be a part of this community and takes a great deal of pride in the relationships he has built and the organizations he has served over the years, including the Athletic Association of the University of Nevada, the American Red Cross, and various youth-based groups. He has built a successful career centered on creating collaborative partnerships and looks forward to working with buyers and sellers alike to help them achieve their real estate goals in northern Nevada.

Seller's Guide
Selling a home is a complex process that requires careful planning, strategic marketing, and skilled negotiation. To achieve the best outcome, you need more than just a checklist—you need the experience and insights of a professional agent who knows your market inside and out.
Calculate Your Mortgage
Understanding how to calculate your mortgage is important because it shows what you can realistically afford and helps you avoid financial surprises. By estimating payments, comparing lenders, and evaluating loan terms, you can make confident choices and ensure your new home fits your long‑term budget.
Property Value
Determining the value of a property is often the first question sellers ask our real estate agents, and for good reason—it sets the foundation for a successful sale. Many factors can influence the asking price, from supply and demand in your area to broader market trends that shift over time. It’s also important to consider how quickly you want to sell, as urgency can affect pricing strategy and negotiation flexibility.
