Veteran Realtor

Leaves ERA

Top Producers

Well-known local Realtor Brenda Parrish-Dickmann has become principal broker of Parrish Property Management, a business that her daughter, Debbie Rodefer Cornelius, purchased on Jan.1, 2008.

Parrish-Dickmann will also head the new Sales and Marketing Division of Parrish Property Management, which is being established as of today.

She will specialize in the marketing and sale of residential, commercial, and investment property, her field for a number of years.

A veteran real estate broker with more than 30 years' experience in the Greeneville market, she holds the Certified Residential Specialist and Graduate of Realtors Institute designations and has a Tennessee Brokers License.

She founded Parrish Realty Company in 1996. That firm was sold last May to ERA Top Producers, a Knoxville-based real estate firm.

Parrish-Dickman served as principal broker of ERA Top Producers' office here until moving to Parrish Property Management.

Steve Dickmann will continue as a licensed broker with Parrish Property Management, and Dennis Cornelius, husband of Debbie Cornelius, will also be with the firm as a licensed affiliate broker.

Dennis Cornelius, who has 20 years' experience in the maintenance business, will be heading a Maintenance Division for the company.

Steve Dickmann, who is the husband of Brenda Parrish-Dickmann, opened the property management company in 2003.

According to a company news release, the company "has grown to be the largest firm in the area to specialize in property management and rental property, with some 115 rent units and 48 owners/investors."

Brenda Parrish-Dickmann is a past president of the Greeneville Association of Realtors, the Northeast Tennessee Association of Realtors, and the Tennessee/Virginia Multiple Listing Service.

She currently serves as vice chairman of the Holston United Methodist Home for Children, a member of the United Way's allocations committee and board of directors, a member of Junior Achievement's board of directors, a member of Youth Builders, and chairman of the Community Belles Presentation Board.

"With this move," she said in a news release, "I will be able to assist my clients and friends more effectively and aggressively, and I am, of course, delighted to be working with my daughter in what will again be a family-based business."

A 1987 graduate of Greeneville High School and a 1991 graduate of the University of Tennessee, Debbie Cornelius has been a jewelry-buyer for the past 15 years for the former Service Merchandise Company of Nashville, then USAA in San Antonio, and, more recently, Jewelry Television of Knoxville.

A news release stated that, while with Jewelry Television, she grew the diamond manufacturing division into a $100 million division.

The offices of Parrish Property Management are located at 705 Professional Plaza, just off East Bernard Avenue.
