About the Founder

North Carolina native Vicky Mitchener is the high-energy, driving force behind the Dickens Mitchener team of real estate professionals.

After graduating from Wake Forest University with a degree in political science, she began an award-winning career as an executive with Xerox. After five fulfilling years of travel, promotions, and intense corporate sales, this sales rep was ready for yet another career change and challenge. In 1988, Vicky became a licensed REALTOR® and eagerly entered the competitive Charlotte real estate market where she quickly established herself as one of the city's top agents.

She was not entirely satisfied with the inside operations of the local real estate industry. With her background in advanced technology, it was apparent to her that technology and marketing were exactly what the real estate industry needed to flourish, so she founded Dickens Mitchener in 1991.

Company History

When you choose our Dickens Mitchener team, you are putting your trust in the most talented, experienced, and technologically astute REALTORS® in the Charlotte region. We are committed to setting new standards for extraordinary customer service as well as providing our clients with intimate community knowledge and expertise. We've spent 30+ years perfecting our unique and effective business method to become your best source for residential real estate.

In 1991, our founder Vicky Mitchener set out to create a real estate agency unlike any other in the Charlotte region. Already a highly successful agent, she wanted to create an agency that would simplify the entire transaction process, while simultaneously providing clients with the ultimate real estate buying or selling experience. 

After assembling a team of the area's most knowledgeable professionals, she then integrated the use of the latest technologies and most advanced marketing concepts to create a business platform based on shared information and team communication. She installed computers for data management, a revolutionary upgrade in 1991, and also implemented a shared marketing program that each agent could access for self-promotion. This thoughtful approach to agent support quickly translated into sales success and established Dickens Mitchener as Charlotte's best source for residential real estate.

Today, our Dickens Mitchener team is comprised of more than 100 experienced real estate professionals who have mastered the latest trends of the ever-changing market and are dedicated to making every transaction as seamless as possible.
