FROM THE PRESIDENT'S P.O.V.
It’s not just our real estate advisors who are the best in the world.
We are known for our top-notch staff, too — pros who support the pros with everything from marketing and accounting to technology and strategy.
One of those is Janna Edgar, pictured, a connected and respected leader in the relocation industry, which is about finding new homes for people and companies. Janna is our Director of Global Relocation and Referral Services, with 20-plus years of success in relocation services and strategies. She has served as an advisory board member of the Relocation Directors Council and holds the esteemed Certified Relocation Professional (CRP) designation from the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council, of which she is also a member.
For our advisors — about 400 across North Texas — Janna fosters connections with other Sotheby’s International Realty advisors around the world and leads our firm’s robust Relocation Specialist agent-training program. Before her relocation career, Janna was a full-time agent herself, which provides her with invaluable insights for everyone she works with.
Like I said, top-notch — and yet another unique value we offer our clients and our advisors. Come see what we do at briggsfreeman.com/relocation. In fact, while you’re there, take a look at our expert advisors and our wide range of listings. We’d love to see you move to — or within — North Texas. You see, we help move more than just people and companies: We can move some mountains.
