Tim Cox’s experience in both real estate and home renovations makes him a unique and important asset to Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. "When I walk into a property, I can feel the history,” Cox says. "I look at houses from the inside out. I know the work behind the finished product, and I use that knowledge to my buyers’ and sellers’ benefit.

As a sophomore at The University of Texas, Tim Cox embarked on his real estate career, leasing apartments in and around Austin. Fast forward 23 years and you'll find that Cox still has that entrepreneurial spirit and drive, only more experienced and knowledgeable – and with a track record of success.

In 2000, Cox bought a small house in Lakewood on Vickery Boulevard, which he remodeled himself. From this beginning, Cox built a successful business remodeling homes in the Lakewood, M Streets, Highland Park, and North Dallas neighborhoods. The knowledge Cox gained from this venture makes him an expert at helping his clients find the perfect home. "Helping my clients find a property for that expansion or remodel they have been dreaming of can be difficult", Cox says. Tim helps his clients identify potential challenges and limitations with a property quickly. "I frankly share my knowledge of construction with my clients. The more quickly I identify an issue with a property, the less of my client's valuable time I take.

His professional experience has afforded this broad expertise, but that's not his strongest attribute. What he does best for his clients is provide actionable insight and knowledge, give direct and honest responses, and maintain a fierce loyalty and commitment to his clients’ needs and objectives.

Cox lives in Dallas in the Lakewood area with his wife, noted designer Tish Cox, and their two daughters Kennedy and Sheridan. He grew up in McKinney, just north of Dallas, where the Cox family has been part of the very fiber of McKinney since 1938 through Cox Chevrolet and The Carey Cox Company. Now, four generations of the Cox family still get together in McKinney on a monthly basis, and Cox says it is a luxury to be so close to his extended family. He says his strong family ties and deep Texas roots are responsible for shaping his character, values, and his entrepreneurial spirit.
