Nancy Markham

When Nancy Markham joined Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty in 2018 as an independent agent, she had already been a real estate professional for nearly 20 years in the Texas housing market. With her additional lengthy interior design career, Nancy's longevity in both industries is a testament to her client commitment and fulfillment. Combining this with her broad knowledge and experience, Nancy is a force to be reckoned with in the real estate business — and has secured a mostly repeat and referral clientele because of it.

After Nancy graduated from college with an interior design degree, she embarked on a 20-year architectural and design career and specialized in corporate space planning and interior architecture for law firms, banks, corporate headquarters, think tanks, and hospitality. She modeled the exhaustive process she adheres to for her real estate clients after the one she mastered as a designer, including understanding goals, determining criteria, touring homes, and addressing crucial aspects not limited to crafting offers, negotiating, appraisals, and inspections. No less integral is Nancy's pure creative side that helps buyers see a property's potential and sellers transform their homes for the market. Boosting her services are expert tradespeople from handymen and landscapers to stagers and furnishers.

Although real estate is a common transition for someone in the architectural and design field, Nancy's interest in this industry sparked when she and her husband sold their home in record time in the late 1990s. Enjoying the experience and believing she also would professionally, her intuition continues to prove correct. Nancy is conscious of the human element of real estate as much as its required detail and follow-through, as she upholds integrity and honesty while striving to satisfy every single client. Her industry credentials, memberships, and recognition — including Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), the National Association of REALTORS®, and D Magazine's Top Producer — have deepened her business insights and elevated her reputation among clients and colleagues.

Originally from the Midwest, Nancy had lived on both U.S. coasts before settling in Texas. She now enjoys life in West Plano with her husband, two adult sons, and three rescue dogs. Topping her list of interests are architecture, art, and design, and she also finds fulfillment in cooking, sewing, gardening, and building things. Nancy's nonprofit and community initiatives include Habitat for Humanity, 7 Loaves Food Pantry, Operation Kindness Animal Shelter, her HOA committee, and the Young Men's Service League during her son's high school years.
