Gerard DuMelle
Managing Broker & Owner
With two decades of experience in the real estate industry, I am a seasoned professional dedicated to excellence in residential and commercial real estate. Since earning a real estate license in 2005, I have continually advanced in the field, achieving a Real Estate Broker license in 2012 and becoming a Licensed Managing Broker and Owner in 2025.
I am a leader in the Northern Illinois real estate market; I have played an active role in shaping the industry through extensive board service and committee involvement. As a board member of the Northern Illinois Commercial Association of Realtors (NICAR) since 2013 and serving as Secretary and Treasurer from 2014 to 2017, I have contributed to the growth and professionalism of commercial real estate in the region.
In addition to commercial real estate leadership, I have been a driving force within the Belvidere Board of Realtors, serving as a board member since 2005, Vice President from 2014 to 2016, and President from 2016 to 2017. As an active Rockford Area Association of Realtors member since 2005, I have lent expertise to the Commercial Committee and MLS Committee, helping shape policies and best practices for the local market.
Beyond real estate transactions, I am committed to economic growth and community development. As a Growth Dimensions Economic Development Community Partner Member, I collaborate with industry leaders to promote business expansion and enhance investment opportunities in the Belvidere area.
With a reputation built on integrity, market expertise, and client dedication, I continue to be a trusted resource for buyers, sellers, and investors. Whether navigating complex commercial deals or guiding families toward their dream homes, I am passionate about delivering exceptional service and driving success in every transaction.
