Robbie Briggs and Emily Corbin celebrate the opening of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty Southlake office in Southlake Town Square. To Robbie Briggs, the Tarrant County neighborhoods in Southlake, Colleyville and Westlake made him feel very much at home. As CEO of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, Briggs has spent his career heading one of the leading luxury brokerage firms in the Park Cities/Preston Hollow neighborhoods of Dallas. To him, the Tarrant County neighborhoods had the same demographics, luxury houses and the exceptional schools that he had grown up with.

So when his brokerage firm was looking to expand, the obvious answer was to open an office that served northeast Tarrant County. “Some of the most popular communities in North Texas can be found just west of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport,” Briggs said. “These neighborhoods have created an extraordinary way of life for the people who have chosen to live here. The quality of the homes, the schools and services match any in the country.”

As a result, many families are relocating to Southlake, Colleyville, Westlake and Keller from other parts of the Metroplex. The company, which has one of the largest international networks of buyers and sellers, is also seeing an influx of new homeowners from around the country and around the world.

Recently, Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty opens the doors to its Southlake office at 112 State Street, Suite 200, in the community’s popular Southlake Town Square.

“We couldn't ask for a better location,” said Gene Taylor, executive vice president for Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty. “We’re right in the middle of where people come to shop, eat, relax and spend time with friends and family. It’s the perfect location for us to be a part of this great community.”

To meet the needs of savvy homebuyers and sellers, Briggs also has recruited some of the area’s most successful Realtors, including Colleyville's top Realtor, one of the top three Realtors in Southlake and the top Realtor in Westlake. To date, 13 of the area's best have joined the firm, saying they wanted to be part of the Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty team.
