Employees say:&nbsp;"The training and development provided to employees at every level is excellent. I feel I am constantly learning and that I can continue to learn and grow, personally and professionally. 'Never stop learning' is the company mantra. It's available and encouraged to take advantage of. Camden has such a fun culture of storytelling and celebrating! We celebrate everything, big and small—celebrating company milestones and people milestones. Also unique to Camden is our senior executives and leaders are so down to earth, approachable, and accessible. When we have skits or lip syncs, we have so much fun even with senior leaders—there are no titles when it comes to practicing and having these amazing, shared experiences. It's magical!"

Camden Property Trust

Employees say:&nbsp;"Culture is top tier! Everyone walks in with a helping hand and attitude. We respect boundaries and treat each other with respect. There is always something to look forward to. Our ideas are always heard and sometimes put into motion. We can go to any level of leadership and get the same level of care; we are never pushed off or told to come back later when we need to talk or help with something. Our team members are trained to help one another and to jump in when we are available to help those around us. We all started somewhere, and we just want to better everyone around us and continue to be the best in the nation! We are very proud, comfortable, and happy in our jobs at Rocket."

Rocket Companies

Employees say:"The work model is mostly remote and yet the feel is that of a family who engage and care for each other, who support each other and celebrate successes in both their personal and work lives. This company truly is unique in multiple areas. The employees work harder so each individual has less on their plate. I've never worked for a company like this. If one person feels overwhelmed, the response to help is immediate."

Zillow Group

Employees say:"Transwestern is my first full-time job out of college, and it has exceeded my expectations. It is a place where I feel welcomed and included, even at entry-level. A place where I can make an impact and do real and meaningful work. Not only am I learning but contributing. The culture here is something special. People are not only friends across departments, but friends across state lines. It feels like one big family working toward a shared goal, and we have a ton of fun doing it!"

Transwestern

Employees say:"What makes this company unique is that the executive team truly listens. It's refreshing to be able to share suggestions or voice concerns, regardless of position or title, and know that our input is valued and often acted upon. This creates a collaborative environment where everyone feels heard and supported. A team is only as strong as its leaders, and at Castle Group, we are fortunate to have strong, responsive leadership guiding us."

Castle Mgt

Employees say:"Our leadership team genuinely values our input. They encourage open communication and fresh ideas. There are continuous learning opportunities, which creates an environment where people feel supported and empowered to grow. The sense of community here really sets us apart and makes it rewarding to work here."

BH Management Services

Employees say:"The sky is the limit here at Cortland. Specifically, our team is always looking for better ways to do things and values input from all levels of the team. We encourage the team to share efficiencies and take the lead in different areas, as we believe leadership opportunities are available where you are currently and prepare the team to be ready when leadership roles become available. We believe in promoting from within, so we actively try to prepare our team for growth opportunities."

Cortland

Employees say:"I love that our executives are in our home office and treat everyone like family. The CEO might sit down at my lunch table and ask how my day is. I appreciate that when I bring up a challenge or complication with our procedures or departments, our VPs and SVPs take the feedback to heart and help us make change."

Avenue5

Employees say:"The culture here is genuinely special as people care about the work and about each other, and there's a real sense of pride in the brand. What makes it even better is that leadership is open to new ideas and willing to let you build something from the ground up. It's not a 'we've always done it this way' company, and there's real appetite for innovation and doing things better, which keeps the work exciting and meaningful."

Bozzuto

Employees say:"I absolutely love the way everyone treats everyone as family no matter what position they are in. I also love that each employee is taken into consideration and their thoughts are heard. It was unusual for the CEO to meet personally with the employees to discuss the company's outlook and open the floor for any questions. I found that incredibly meaningful."

To produce the Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate list, Fortune partnered with the people analytics firm <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.greatplacetowork.com/">Great Place To Work®</a>. Great Place To Work has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences for 30 years. Great Place To Work has developed a set of themes and metrics that not only reveal whether employees feel their workplace is great, but also predict retention, agility, and overall business success. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Using their proprietary Trust Index™ survey, Great Place To Work measures the core of what they know creates great workplaces—key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The survey enables employees to share confidential quantitative and qualitative feedback about their organization’s culture by responding to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answering two open-ended questions. &nbsp;&nbsp;Employees tell Great Place To Work whether or not their leaders are accessible, if they communicate honestly and clearly, and if their actions match their words. Employees share whether they feel respected as individuals, if they receive support for their well-being and personal development, and if they have opportunities to contribute, and appreciation for their work. They share whether they believe their company is fair related to pay, profits, promotions, recognition, favoritism, and opportunities for growth. They share if they are proud of their work, their team, and their company, if they feel they make a difference, and if their work is meaningful. And they share whether they enjoy the people they work with, if they feel cared for, and if they can be themselves. &nbsp;&nbsp;List rankings are based on this employee feedback, which is analyzed to determine the extent to which this experience is shared by the full workforce. Great Place To Work measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience. Statements are weighted according to their relevance in describing the most important aspects of an equitable workplace. &nbsp;&nbsp;The best companies create great work experiences not just for full-time managers, but also for their part-time employees on the front lines, for those who’ve just joined and those who’ve spent their whole career there, for every race and ethnicity, gender, neurotype, or other demographic in the organization, Great Place To Work looks at it all. Companies with the broadest set of employees who report positive workplace experience receive the highest rankings on lists.&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to analyze employee feedback in context, Great Place To Work collects information from each company including their industry, revenue, size, and employee demographics. They identify the organizations that offer the most generous, caring and innovative cultures reflecting a genuine commitment to meet the diversity of their people’s needs inside and outside the workplace as validated by what employees themselves report in survey results.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because employee feedback drives these rankings, surveys must meet strict requirements for how they are distributed and the percentage of employees who respond to ensure they accurately represent honest feedback from the company’s full population. To be eligible for the Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™, have 10 or more employees in the U.S., and be in the real estate industry. Companies with 10 to 999 people are considered for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortune.com/ranking/best-small-workplaces-real-estate/2026">small and medium category</a>; companies with 1,000 employees or more are considered for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortune.com/ranking/best-workplaces-real-estate/2026/">large category</a>. Companies appearing on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortune.com/ranking/best-companies/">Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® list</a> rank at the top.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the last year, Great Place To Work surveyed companies employing 7.3 million people in the U.S. and received 1.3 million survey responses. Of those, over 28,000 responses were received from employees at companies who were eligible for the 2026 Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate list, and this list is based on their feedback.&nbsp;&nbsp;To find out more about how to become Great Place To Work Certified™ or to apply to this or other Best Workplaces lists, visit <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://greatplacetowork.com">greatplacetowork.com</a>. &nbsp; &nbsp;
