HOUSTON – Transwestern has ranked No. 4 on the 2026 Best Workplaces in Real Estate™ List, marking its fourth consecutive year of recognition by Great Place To Work® and Fortune. Earlier this year, Transwestern was also recognized among the Best Workplaces in Texas for the ninth time, extending its record to 11 consecutive years of recognition by Great Place To Work.
Launched in 2023, the Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on analysis of more than 28,000 survey responses from employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. At Transwestern, 98% of team members say that when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome, while 96% believe customers would rate the firm's service as “excellent.”
“From the beginning, we wanted Transwestern to be more than just a place to work. We aimed to build a company where good people could do meaningful work, build lasting relationships and take pride in what they accomplish together,” said Robert Duncan, Founder and Executive Chairman of Transwestern. “This recognition is a testament to the people who uphold those values every day and continue to move our company forward.”
Transwestern invests in its team members through comprehensive benefits and programs designed to promote personal and professional well-being. 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 at all stages of a career is a priority, with mentorship programs, leadership training, wellness initiatives, and one-on-one coaching designed to help team members thrive.
The firm recently established the Transwestern Giving Fund, a donor-advised fund that supports charitable organizations and community initiatives. The fund provides a centralized approach to optimize the firm's longstanding philanthropic activities and creates additional opportunities for team members to support causes in their communities.
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 Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “People are at the heart of work in every industry, and real estate is no exception. These companies show how delivering for your people drives financial performance and turns fear of the future into the confidence to win.”
