Dallas-Fort Worth’s Top Luxury Brokerage Adds Another Industry Pro to its Leadership Team

The hot hires keep coming from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. The leading luxury brokerage in Dallas, Fort Worth, and all of North Texas has brought in industry leader and North Texas native Jason Bell as the new VP of sales for its busy North office, in the booming Plano/Frisco area.

Bell joins the brokerage’s leadership team with extensive experience and a proven track record in real estate sales and management. In his most recent role, Bell managed the northwest Dallas branch of an established brokerage, where he led nearly 100 real estate advisors to $280 million in sales in 2023 alone. He began as a real estate advisor in that brokerage’s Plano/Willow Bend office before transitioning into his sales-leader and management role.

Bell’s commitment to his advisors’ professional growth is unwavering. Through engaging sales meetings and comprehensive education courses, he fosters an environment of continuous learning and growth, significantly boosting productivity and satisfaction. As a strategic leader, Bell emphasizes recruitment and retention and has been instrumental in enhancing market share. His proactive leadership style and dedication to creating a positive, supportive culture have set the stage for his continued success. He has graduated from both the Ninja Selling course for agents and the Ninja Leadership Institute. Additionally, he holds several prestigious designations, including Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and certifications as an RPR Certified Trainer and Texas REALTORS® Certified Instructor.

Bell is a graduate of Texas Tech University who worked in the life- and health-insurance industries for 15 years prior to his real estate career.

Today, it offers an uncommon level of support and expertise and includes the sales leadership team of Bell, vice president of sales Jennifer Edwards (Southlake and Fort Worth offices), vice president of sales Angela Thornhill (Dallas/Turtle Creek and Lakewood offices, and the brokerage’s unique Ranch and Land Division) and assistant vice president of sales John Kidd.
