Joining With Sotheby’s International Realty

President and CEO Robbie Briggs proudly announces that his firm has joined the Sotheby’s International Realty® network. The firm’s new name is Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. The announcement comes on the heels of the company’s 50th anniversary.

“Looking ahead, we realized that we were ready for a bold, strategic move of growth. The Sotheby’s International Realty brand is as important as any element to Briggs Freeman. The melding of the two company’s technologies will provide increased power and strength to attract buyers and investors from all over the world,” said Briggs. The firm has enjoyed a rich legacy as the area’s oldest boutique firm for premier properties.

The company’s roots date back to the beginning of Ben R. Briggs Real Estate, established in 1960. Briggs Freeman’s website in 2008 was ranked #3 in the nation and #1 in Texas by REAL Trends, Inc., and 1000WATT Consulting after the two firms studied the Websites of the top 500 brokerage firms in the country. That ranking is uncontested today. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty has developed social media outlets as well as iPad and mobile platforms to help buyers.

“The success we have enjoyed can be attributed to a remarkable record of relationship-building and client service among our outstanding team of professionals,” said Briggs. “We are honored to have them representing us in the marketplace.”

Our firm specializes in the sale of fine homes in Highland Park, University Park, Uptown/Downtown, Turtle Creek, Bluffview, Preston Hollow, Lakewood, North Dallas and other notable neighborhoods, as well as selected farm and ranch properties around the region. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty has had significant sales recently in Plano, Southlake, and Frisco.

The firm’s team of professionals is client-focused and steeped in a tradition of outstanding service. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty associates live and work in the communities that they serve, giving them valuable insight into this highly specialized market niche.

When Briggs Realtors and Charles Freeman Realtors merged with a common vision in 1993, they brought together over 73 years of experience. Melding traditions of integrity, expertise and a commitment to the client, the firm has grown into a legend in the community and the entire real estate industry.

The new partnership with Sotheby’s International Realty network will provide an even broader reach to the firm’s clients. In one respect, however, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty will continue as it always has: Live to give the “Extraordinary” as they serve their clients, community and world.
