It began in 1989 in a small office with only three agents, a secretary and a dream. Today, Dillard Cies Real Estate is proud to be the No.1 sales producing company in Norman and Cleveland County. Mike Dillard, Charlie Bowline and Steve Williams were not only the founders and co-owners of Dillard Group, now Dillard Cies, but were dreamers as well. Starting a real estate company in the late 1980s was a real unknown because the industry was still recovering from the housing market crash under the weight of double-digit interest rates. But they believed in a vision and shared a passion. Through constant innovation and with the never-ending support of the company’s Associates and the community, the trio built the company into one of the most respected real estate firms in the area. In 2023, Dillard Cies moved its operations into its current location at 1203 Brookhaven Blvd. The company handles more than $125 million in real estate transactions each year.
