The Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis is a testament to the power of hard work, strategic investment and a deep-seated commitment to quality.
The journey began in the late 2000s, when Nicole Freer's husband, Doug Freer, then a loan broker, started getting more calls from people looking to buy and flip properties. Seeing an opportunity, he bought and flipped a property himself. The venture was so successful that he took on more projects and asked Nicole Freer to get her real estate license to list the homes—a move meant to save money that instead launched her booming career.
The results were nothing short of remarkable: $30 million in sales the first year, followed by $60 million, $90 million, $120 million, and beyond. In 2024, the Nicole Freer Group sold nearly $450 million in real estate—over 1,100 homes.
From local roots to a global platform
In 2020, amid the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Freers left their longtime brokerage to go independent. Less than two years later, the prestigious Corcoran Group approached them to become an affiliate.
Known for its global reach and luxury marketing expertise, Corcoran Group offered an opportunity to merge worldwide exposure with the Freers’ deep local knowledge.
As part of this expansion, Nicole Freer opened a new office in The Woodlands by acquiring Beth Ferester’s well-established local brokerage.
Today, the Freers own two of Texas’ three Corcoran affiliate offices, located in Katy and The Woodlands.
A team built on quality
At the Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis, Freer prioritizes quality over quantity when building her team.
“At the Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis, I want every agent to be fully prepared to deliver our signature level of service,” Nicole Freer said. “That’s why we provide a dedicated transaction team—so they can spend less time on paperwork and more time with clients—while ongoing training and mentorship ensure every agent upholds our high standards.”
This focus on agent excellence has paid off, earning the Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis the No. 2 ranking for real estate groups in Houston.
Diverse homes across Houston
The Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis works with a wide range of properties, from resale homes to new construction, ensuring that every client finds the perfect fit.
Their sales span an impressive variety of price points—from $300,000 homes to luxury estates worth $5 million—without compromising on the level of service or marketing each property receives.
The team’s reach spans the Houston metro area, supported by partnerships with major builders such as KB Home, Meritage, M/I, Long Lake and select independent builders. This network gives the Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis the ability to showcase homes citywide, providing clients with unmatched exposure and access to sought-after communities.
Investing in clients’ investments
At the Nicole Freer Group at Corcoran Genesis, every home is treated as more than just a listing; it’s a major investment.
Understanding that over 95% of buyers search online first, the team spares no expense in showcasing properties with professional photography, drone shots, aerial twilight images, 3D Matterport tours and listing videos.
“When we showcase homes well, more people come to see them—and that often means a quicker offer for the seller,” Freer said.
To ensure every listing meets the group’s exacting standards, the company takes on these marketing costs instead of passing them on to agents—allowing every property to receive the same high-quality presentation that maximizes a client’s investment.
Giving back through the Nicole Freer Foundation
For the Freers, success has also meant the ability to give back in meaningful ways.
The Nicole Freer Foundation funds annual college scholarships for low-income families, allowing them to take advantage of higher education, inspired by Doug Freer’s own sports scholarship that allowed him to go to college. As a childhood cancer survivor, Nicole Freer has also made pediatric cancer support a priority, providing financial assistance to families impacted by childhood cancer.
At every closing, a percentage of the commission goes directly to the foundation, allowing clients to be part of that impact. The foundation also supports back-to-school drives, Christmas gift programs and aid for local children’s centers.
“When Douglas and I look back at the challenges we faced throughout our lives, the opportunities we had and didn't have, the things we've gone through and the obstacles we’ve overcome, we've always known a huge part of our goal was to position ourselves to where we could make a difference in other people's lives,” Freer said.
