Faisal Halum Departs Briggs Freeman for Compass Real Estate

In agent migration news, Faisal Halum is transitioning from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty to Compass Real Estate. Known for his expertise in architecturally significant homes and high-rise condominiums, Halum has built a reputation as one of Dallas’ top-producing agents.

With more than $1 billion in luxury real estate sales since 2018, Halum bundled high profile clients such as Dirk Nowitski, among others. His team, recognized as the No. 1 small team in Dallas and No. 2 in Texas for 2023 by Real Trends, brought in $185 million in sales last year alone.

Faisal is known for selling architecturally significant homes, including the Philip Johnson-designed home at 10210 Strait Lane and the Edward Durell Stone home at 5243 Park Lane in Preston Hollow, as well as residences by regionally known architects such as Frank Welch, Max Levy, Bud Oglesby, Lionel Morrison, Bill Booziotis, Bodron/Fruit, Scott Lyons, and O’Neil Ford. He was the lead selling agent for several other projects, including The Terminal at Katy Trail, One Arts Plaza, and Kessler Reserve, and he listed and sold the highest-priced penthouses at the Ritz-Carlton Residences and Museum Tower. Faisal specializes in Preston Hollow, Highland Park, Greenway Parks, Northern Hills, Turtle Creek, Uptown, Downtown, Lakewood, and Kessler Park.

Halum believes in-depth market knowledge is his differentiator.

“Information is power,” Faisal says on his new Compass agent page. “Understanding the nuances of the market at any moment is how I provide the most value to my clients, whether they are buying or selling. Every client is different. Every neighborhood is different. Every street is different. Most importantly, every price tier in the market needs a different strategy. This is what we do. I am dealing with the largest, most important asset a client has.”
