Barb Wilkinson
Barb is a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She has over forty years of sales & marketing experience with organizations as diverse as the North Carolina Department of Folk Life, the Record Bar, and Twentieth Century Fox.
She, her husband, and young daughter made their move out West in 1999 from the Washington, D.C. area in a camper, on the road for six months together, seeing the country. After they settled in Truckee, Barb became the Executive Director of Truckee's very own children's museum, the KidZone.
As her daughter outgrew the museum and began school, she chose real estate as the focus for her vast sales & marketing expertise. She was the listing and marketing manager for a team of top local agents for three years and then chose to join Dickson because of its professionalism and quality of service to its clients.
She knows how to effectively market homes for customers to achieve the best possible selling price and the fine art of negotiation in real estate transactions. She works tirelessly on her client's behalf, making the process as smooth as possible for them. Her community involvement, compassion for people, and professionalism will make buying or selling your mountain home a terrific experience.
When not working, Barb enjoys cycling (both road and mt. bike), tennis, hiking, skiing, and rafting/kayaking.
Active within the community, Barb has worked with the Truckee Elementary PTO, the Truckee Tahoe Humane Society, the local Community Christmas organization, various local education Bond measures, and is a Founding Member of the local Community Foundation's Queen of Hearts Fund, a broad-based local fund to promote Arts, Culture and Public Benefit; Education and Youth Development; Environment, Recreation and Animal Welfare; and Health and Human Services. She is a past Board member of the Excellence in Education Foundation and Trails and Vistas and a current Board member of the Rotary Club of Truckee and the Tahoe Sierra MLS.
She's a great resource for those moving to this area with children as she knows so much about this area's vast resources for families. Give her a call!
