Realty Austin Awarded Top Workplace for Ninth Year in a Row
Realty Austin is ranked #3 on the Austin American-Statesman 2020 Top Work Places list for their values, leadership, and innovation.
Realty Austin ranked No. 3 among large employers in the Austin American-Statesman‘s 2020 Top Workplaces of Greater Austin. The company’s powerhouse team of dedicated agents and support staff earned the company a top spot once again on the annual list. Realty Austin’s ability to overcome the difficulties of the pandemic, tech-savvy innovation, and its “family environment” were the top reasons cited for the rank.
This year marks the ninth time Realty Austin has appeared on the list published by the Austin American-Statesman that recognizes employers who stand for the best in leadership, vision, and culture. The large company category ranked employers with 500+ Central Texas employees. The Top Workplace project surveys over 23,000 workers from nearly 150 Austin-area employers.
Realty Austin’s top tier support team worked dynamically this year to provide the highest level of service to their 575+ top producing agents. In early March, the staff quickly transitioned to working remotely. Within days, the leadership team collaborated with top industry professionals to provide the necessary resources their agents would need to continue business safely during a pandemic.
Realty Austin closely monitored the real estate market trends to provide agents and their clients with the right resources for every step of the home buying and selling process. Realty Austin’s Vice President of Operations, Courtney Lepore, said about their pandemic game plan, “Our main role was to create a framework for our agents to make decisions. They looked to us (for guidance). We tried to create a framework and a process for doing business.”
Kelvin Glover, one of the firm’s top producers, said the Realty Austin leadership team “moved quickly to get ahead of the virus. We were already doing Zoom calls and virtual home tours even before the virus struck.”
Established in 2004, Realty Austin Co-owners Jonathan Boatwright, and Yvette Flores, dreamed of building a company and creating a place where agents and staff work together, inspire others, find support, and enhance their work-life balance, and give back to the community. Recent polls show 97% of agents and staff at Realty Austin engage highly within the company, which is, on average, 5% higher than any other large company in Austin. The tight-knit team of agents and staff continue to grow their culture of collaboration and community.
Glover continued, “It is a family environment. The owners (Jonathan Boatwright and Yvette Flores) really care about their people. They know their people.”
Jen Arsaga, Agent Success Coordinator and seven-year Realty Austin veteran, said, “I have formed relationships with people all over the company to interact with them and to help them. It’s easy to go to work when you are working with your friends.”
