Longtime northern Palm Beach County broker takes on new role in pivotal market for the firm

The Keyes Company announces Rita Dickinson as the new District Sales Manager of its Jupiter/Tequesta Office. Dickinson brings substantial luxury real estate and management experience to the company.

In her new role, Dickinson oversees an office with 63 sales associates producing an annual volume of $80 Million.

“Rita is a consummate professional,” said Mike Pappas, president and CEO of Illustrated Properties. “She has the ability to succeed in any role and we are extremely lucky to have her.”

An energetic self-starter, Dickinson began her real estate career working for leading homebuilders in Sarasota before moving to Islamorada to launch her own vacation rental company. Married with two children, she decided to move to Jupiter, accepting a Sales Manager position with Keyes. In that position, Dickinson developed and guided sales associates in Jupiter and its surrounding areas.

Dickinson eventually decided to return to her roots as Realtor and sell luxury homes in northern Palm Beach County and continue serving the community as part of the Keyes family.

After about 20 years of selling luxury homes, Dickinson returns to management as District Sales Manager of the Jupiter/Tequesta office.

“This is such a great opportunity being able to mentor and develop the next generation of leading sales associates,” said Dickinson. “I am particularly excited to lead the office during a time when demand for high-end homes in northern Palm Beach County is as strong as ever.”

Keyes is the largest independently owned real estate firm in Florida and a Top 30-ranked firm in the entire United States and is extremely active in luxury residential real estate. In 2018, Keyes generated $6.7 billion in real estate services across its Family of Companies.
