HOUSTON – For the third year in a row, Great Place To Work® and Fortune have included Transwestern as one of the top firms (No. 4) on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate™ list, which debuted in 2023. Earlier this year, Transwestern also was named a Best Workplace in Texas, and celebrated 10 consecutive years on the organization’s lists.
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 29,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. The data shows that 96% of employees say that when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome, and 94% of Transwestern customers would rate the service we deliver as “excellent.”
“Being recognized among the best workplaces in the country reaffirms what we’ve long believed: our people and our culture are our greatest strengths,” said Larry P. Heard, CEO of Transwestern. “Our leadership team is intentional about fostering an environment where every team member feels valued and connected to a greater purpose, and we are proud to consistently deliver on that commitment.”
Transwestern invests in its people through a robust benefits package and a strong culture of support. Team members have access to comprehensive healthcare, generous paid time off, paid parental leave, and dedicated time to give back through volunteerism. The firm also provides resources for growing families, caregiver support, and short-term disability coverage. Professional development is a priority, with mentorship programs, leadership training, wellness initiatives, and one-on-one coaching designed to help team members thrive. Transwestern’s commitment to corporate responsibility is reflected in national programs focused on sustainability and philanthropy.
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high in an organization, people don’t fear AI — they embrace it.”
