Dieca 'Nikki' Runnels

I’m proud to call Chicagoland home. A Chicago native now living in the western suburbs, I often joke that I’m part REALTOR®, part tour guide. I raised my three children in the Lyons Township community, and over 18 years, I’ve built lasting relationships and cherished memories.

With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management and more than a decade of experience in customer service, I bring a unique blend of business expertise and personal connection to my work. My earlier real estate experience — from leasing luxury properties on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile to helping buyers and sellers in the western suburbs — sparked my love for this career. Today, I’m excited to bring that passion, skill, and dedication to each and every client I serve.

I joined KRGW Realty, LLC because they are known for excellence — not just in real estate, but in the way they invest in their agents and clients. With access to top-tier marketing, cutting-edge technology, and a wealth of resources, I’m able to give every client an exceptional real estate experience.

As a REALTOR®, I believe every client deserves honesty, integrity, and a process that feels as seamless as possible. My background in customer service has taught me how to listen deeply, communicate clearly, and negotiate fiercely — always with my clients’ best interests at heart.

Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction; it’s a life-changing moment. My role is to guide you through every step with clarity, confidence, and care. Whether you’re making your first move, upsizing, downsizing, or simply ready for a new chapter, I’m here to make the process smooth and stress-free.
