The Fridman Group International is expanding into Texas, and it’s bringing four former Douglas Elliman brokers on board.

The group, led by Tomer Fridman and Isidora Fridman, is based in Los Angeles and specializes in luxury real estate. The Fridmans, who are son and mother, together opened Sotheby’s Israel, and they work with celebrity clients in L.A.

“There has always been a regal, sophisticated market in Texas that I’ve admired from a distance. Tesla and Goldman Sachs moving to Texas show the vision of the future marketplace and consumer appetite,” Tomer Fridman said. “Now, we see it more relevant in my day-to-day conversations with financial investors and business managers on behalf of my clients. Many are thinking of making the move for favorable tax structures or state policies with the grounds, grand estates and architecture that they’ve always appreciated.”

The group’s Texas team are: Nadia Black, Walker Freeman, Jeremy Harris and Thomas Do.

Black, based in Dallas, has represented sales for projects including the Bleu Ciel high-rise condos in downtown Dallas, and the Kessler West portfolio, a land sale for multifamily in Oak Cliff.

Harris is based in Austin and focuses on Lakeway and Bee Caves.

Do, based in Dallas, has a background in hospitality and customer service, and he is bilingual in English and Vietnamese.
