When Kris Jenner was looking for an agent to list her Hidden Hills mansion, famous from 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,' she turned to the biggest name in the celebrity real estate business: Tomer Fridman.
Fridman is the Beverly Hills-based realtor responsible for the exclusive listing from the Kardashian family matriarch.
The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion recently hit the market at a whopping $13.5 million.
Fridman has long worked with the Jenner-Kardashian clan and is a longtime real estate agent and broker with Christie's International Real Estate Southern California.
Jenner purchased the 8,860-square-foot home, which sits on over 1.5 acres, in 2010 with her then-husband Caitlyn Jenner.
It's easily recognizable due to its famous black and white checked foyer, multiple fireplaces and built in frozen yogurt machine.
The family's reality show was filmed in the home for many seasons over its run on the E! network, but it has been sitting empty since the crew grew up and started moving to nearby Calabasas to buy their own mansions.
'I think in this case the house is a celebrity. I think that's the rarity here,' Fridman told DailyMail.com. 'It's a very beloved home that a lot of us grew up watching.'
Fridman added that he thinks the value of the 'iconic' home is higher due to its 'pedigree.'

'It's so important because it's part of not just pop culture history, but it's part of all of us growing up and watching the evolution of a specific family and the evolution of a house,' he said.
'The house didn't look like that initially. It's come through so many iterations and evolutions and designs and re-dos. It's a really iconic house in and of itself, regardless of the occupants.'
Not anyone can view the house though - so keen Kardashian fans likely won't be getting a tour if they cold call.
Everyone who does a walkthrough is vetted and the buyer is likely to be someone who 'collects' prestigious homes, a fellow celebrity, or a very successful business person.
Fridman has had celebrities, captains of industry and business people look at the house - as well as families.
'We're having families look at it. Whether they run a billion dollar company or they're a celebrity, it's a family home, whatever family means to someone,' he said.

Fridman didn't tell potential buyers the history of the home, but says everyone he has showed it to so far immediately recognizes where it's from.
'Prior to going on the market we had a handful of VIP clients go in that had been looking in the area and the price range.
'And people were in shock because they immediately know what home they're in,' he said.
The feedback has been tremendous because prior to listing Jenner hired celebrity designer Ryan Saghian to furnish it and bring it up to date.
'It looks even better than it did on TV and even better than the photos,' Fridman told DailyMail.com.

He says while his high-profile clients require discretion and sometimes plenty of selling restrictions, Jenner didn't have any hard rules for new owners.
In fact, after a lengthy discussion, her famous frozen yogurt machine stayed, and the new owners can take it or leave it.
'I actually wanted the yogurt machine to stay. It was a conversation. And I think A, it's charming. And B, who doesn't want frozen yogurts?' Fridman said. 'I think it's amazing.'
Of course you have to wonder about the vibe of a home that housed so many (very public) memories for the famous family.
'It's very glamorous, but it's so warm,' he said.
'It honestly just envelops you. It feels really elegant and really approachable at the same time. Which is such a balance. It's very difficult to balance those two.'
For Fridman, who balances around 35 to 40 homes on the market on any given day, the house is beautiful, without or without its history.
'The landscaping is unbelievable. The privacy factor, the layers of landscaping, the yard is sensational. It's like a park,' he said.
'It's not just a show place. You can go and make dinner in the kitchen.'

He landed the deal with Jenner after years of loyal friendship, and says discretion and trust are key to getting a deal like that.
Fridman also brokered the $20-million sale of a Hidden Hills home to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
He has bought and sold homes for a slew of celebrities including Adele, Sylvester Stallone, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Jessica Simpson and Justin Bieber.
Over his 20-year career, Fridman has totaled over $8 billion in career sales. On working with someone of Jenner's caliber, he says it's in the details.
'You have to perform on every single deal. Whether it's a celebrity client, high network client, or just like you're representing your mom or your cousin or your sister.
You have to be very meticulous about the details. You have to think 20 steps ahead on everything,' he said.
'Especially with delicate situations like this, where sometimes you have to be extra discreet in terms of showcasing a really important property. You have to know your audience and what's appropriate.'
