HOUSTON – Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine have named Transwestern to its inaugural list of the Best Workplaces in Real Estate. Transwestern ranked No. 5 among 35 companies, meaning the firm is one of the best companies to work for nationally based on comprehensive analytics and employee feedback. The honor comes on the heels of Transwestern being ranked No. 10 on the 2022 Best Workplaces in Texas list, a state where the firm operates four full-service offices, including its corporate headquarters.
“We are grateful for this recognition that honors a culture of performance, innovation, camaraderie and inclusion,” said Larry P. Heard, CEO of the Transwestern companies. “Integral to this result is being a high-performance company where team members enjoy professional success, serving our clients at a high level and doing so in a team-oriented environment. Our business brings together bright minds and diverse talents, and we are proud to be included among these many accomplished real estate companies who consider their people their most important asset.”
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on analysis of survey responses from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. In that survey, 93% of Transwestern’s employees said Transwestern is a great place to work, and 95% said that when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome.

Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate.”
