No. 2 Midsize Company
7-Time Winner
When Rogers Healy founded his real estate company 15 years ago, he wanted to create a culture that was inclusive, energetic and authentic.
He was 26 at the time. His vision hasn’t changed now that he’s a seasoned 41.
His best sales pitch in recruiting agents: “Everyone wants to be led, including leaders. Join us at RHA, and we’ll give you the tools to be the best leaders possible.”
His 425 employees in Dallas say he’s done just that. Their enthusiastic responses enabled the privately held brokerage to grab the second spot among our midsize companies.
And they gave their founder top marks. The statement: I have confidence in the leader of this company received the highest score among its workers.
“Rogers and his staff want you to be successful in real estate and give you the tools and techniques to do so,” said one employee. “But they also encourage you to have an incredible life outside of real estate — to pursue your passions and other things that you love.”
Rogers Healy and Associates Real Estate has made it to the Top 100 winners circle seven times — a string that was broken last year because Healy says they forgot to enter.
When Healy looks back at the past year, he has a lot to smile about.
“A highlight for our company was being able to return to the office safely when many [other workers] were still at home,” he said. “We have doubled our team of agents and quadrupled our internal staff in less than a year. We are also averaging over $100 million in sales per month, all while keeping the heartbeat of our company consistent with putting people before a paycheck.”
That includes volunteerism.
Each month, he organizes a volunteer event that allows a team member who is an advocate for a nonprofit or cause to lead a project and recruit like-minded colleagues.
Bonton Farms, Genesis Women’s Shelter, Inspire School Programs, ASPCA, Juliette Fowler Communities, the Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Walk and Miles for Mazy Gala/Heart of Autism are some of the organizations and events that have benefited from these projects.
“At RHA, we’re all incentivized to make an impact on our communities,” Healy said. “We can stay humble, always knowing that being the best at what we do isn’t the most important. It’s being the best person.”
Healy used to think that productivity depended on being physically in an office, but the pandemic proved that he and his people would show up every day remotely “ready to grind.”
Having said that, he’s delighted that the office is back open.
“It’s incredibly important to have in-person collaboration. I thrive by being around other people, and I am so thankful that in-person conversations are back on a regular basis.”
