Today

Everything has led to this moment — representing your home to the most engaged, most enthused, most able homebuyers in North Texas and the world.

The people. The service.

Our agents, staff and leaders make our company more successful every day. Our agents are the very best in North Texas, expertly guiding their clients through the buying and selling adventure. And, with an exceptional agent-to-staff ratio, we support and promote the efforts of our agents — so that they can provide a seamless experience to you.

Luxury is defined by a level of service, not by a price point. In fact, 77 percent of the homes we sell are priced less than $1 million. Our agents pride themselves on offering white-glove service from beginning to end — and on establishing long-lasting relationships with their clients.

The track record.

Since 1960 and counting, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty has earned its impressive reputation every day — by closing exceptional sales and by providing famously excellent service to its clients and agents. Those 400+ agents, together, have achieved multiple consecutive years of multibillion-dollar total sales, proudly ranking us as a top Sotheby’s International Realty affi liate — and the No. 1 luxury brokerage in North Texas — time and time again.

Digital marketing:

The targets

Your property will be seen by buyers who are ready, able and willing. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty’s digital strategies are driven by a consumer-centric approach, targeting homebuyers at all stages of their real estate journey. Our robust digital strategy is aimed at driving visits to our website, where viewers can discover your property.

The focus

We deploy strategic digital advertising for listings, open houses and more on Instagram, Facebook and the internet. These automatically created ads use rich data for smart and strategic targeting to reach high-intent buyers. That means more interest, more inquiries, more showings and more offers.

Social media:

The audience The strategy

From intentional buyers to aspirational buyers, we have them all — and these passionate people look to our social media channels for listings and lifestyle posts. Today, over one million people follow the engaging and beautiful Sotheby’s International Realty channels, and thousands of interested North Texans follow our Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty accounts, where we share listings, news and market insight. Our social media outperforms all local luxury brokerages on Facebook and Instagram.

We tailor our content so that it’s at its best wherever it is — including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. We win on social media in a number of ways, including:

• We share the details, not only about a property but also about our open houses, brokerage news, neighborhood profiles, the local market and our agents’ awards and accomplishments (the latter of which we are particularly proud).

• We are consistent and informative, which keeps our followers interested and invested. They love visiting us on social media to see what’s new — particularly new listings like yours.

The storytellers

Our in-house marketing professionals work with media outlets focused on real estate, luxury and lifestyle. The result? Our listings have been featured online, on social media and in magazines and newspapers, thanks to our relationships and strategic story pitches. We also work directly with the in-house communications team of Sotheby’s International Realty, which has resulted in our properties and agents being featured on a national and international level, including in The Wall Street Journal, Dwell and others. Sotheby’s International Realty is consistently the No. 1 most profiled luxury real estate brand in the news — by far.

The share of voice

Share of voice (SOV) is a measure of the market a brand owns compared to its competitors. It acts as a gauge for a brand’s visibility and how much it dominates the conversation in its industry. The more positive market share a brand has, the greater its popularity and authority. In 2023, Sotheby’s International Realty once again had the most SOV in reach and volume than all other luxury real estate brands. Also in 2023, Sotheby’s International Realty garnered more than 65,600 press placements. That’s more than 180 stories each day, around the world. Here at home, our listings, brokerage and agents are in the press over 20 times daily — more than 10 times the mentions of the next luxury brokerage.

2023 Press Share of Voice

Print marketing:

The power of print

The page-turner

There is nothing like the authority and permanence of print — which is why your home’s marketing strategy may include it. From our popular and widely seen full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal each Friday to an advertisement in one of North Texas’ beloved lifestyle magazines to a custom brochure or postcard all about your property, mailed to an engaged audience, your agent has options to employ tactile, targeted print as a way of marketing your special place to audiences who prefer that powerful medium.

We regularly partner with Sotheby’s International Realty on its superb RESIDE magazine, real estate’s most elevated read. Loaded with stories on design, art, architecture, automobiles, travel, food and more — plus an entire section about our agents and their available and sold properties — RESIDE goes directly into the hands of a select group of North Texas subscribers to The Wall Street Journal and is directly mailed to homes in our top neighborhoods. (As a target audience who loves homes, it gets no better.)

The full experience.

Our culture is based on one goal: to create an unrivaled, seamless experience for our clients and agents. For nearly 300 years, the Sotheby’s brand has grown and succeeded due to its respect for tradition and its focus on innovation and varied offerings. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty is no exception.

Ranch and Land Division

There is nothing like the Ranch and Land Division of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. It is a dynamic, dedicated ensemble of professional agents, all with a deep understanding of their special niche in the market — everything from 2-acre weekend getaways to vast spreads upwards of 30,000 acres. Working ranches or luxury retreats, these agents represent the best, to buyers who could be anywhere from Texas to Thailand. Their expertise and connections, combined with the global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty network, mean that every goal is achievable. Above all else, our Ranch and Land agents understand the magic of the land — and the buyers who are seeking the connection that comes from getting out of the cities and suburbs and getting under bigger skies and bigger thoughts. Your property couldn’t be in better hands.
