Tobe Frierson Dickerson, Maryland REALTOR®
23 yearsguiding life-changing decisions in higher education

Meet your REALTOR®

Tobe Frierson Dickerson

Home is where life happens. Families grow, new chapters begin, and everyday moments become memories. Helping you find the right place for your next chapter is why I do this work.

For 23 years I worked in higher education admissions and enrollment, guiding people through decisions that shaped their futures. That career taught me to listen closely, ask the right questions, and make complicated processes feel manageable. I bring the same approach to buying and selling homes: clear communication, careful coordination, and personal attention from our first conversation through closing.

As the wife of a retired U.S. Army veteran who served for 22 years, I know how much a move can mean for a military family. I'm proud to help veterans and service members explore their homeownership options and connect with lending partners who know VA financing.

I live in Odenton with my husband and our daughter. Outside of real estate you'll find me making music, serving in the community, or spending time with family. Faith, service, and connection shape how I live, and how I care for my clients.

Let's find where you're meant TO BE.

Let's talk about your next move

Buying, selling, relocating or just exploring, a 20-minute conversation is a great place to start.
