DALLAS, June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This past November, The Dallas Morning News named Valiant Residential the number one midsize company to work for in Dallas. Since that time, Valiant has grown exponentially and achieved new heights. Most notably, the company reached a milestone of acquiring more than 20,000 units under its management portfolio.
Since first being recognized by the DMN in 2017, Valiant has made the DMN Top 100 list four times, each year moving up the list to now claiming the number one spot. In addition, they have been awarded other titles by DMN including best direction and best execution. Craig Lashley, president and CEO of Valiant, said that the journey to earning this recognition has been quite a ride.
"This is something that every member of our team has earned, and I am so proud of our accomplishment" he said. "Even during a pandemic, we were able to adjust our procedures to ensure that our employees and residents felt safe and secure. To still be able to grow as a company last year is something that I will always be extremely proud of."
Valiant Residential, formerly known as SIMC Management, was founded in 1987 with one community in Fort Worth and only four team members. Since then, the company has grown to 90 communities across Texas, Oklahoma and Florida with more than 450 team members and 22,000 units under management. Todd Parks, vice president of Valiant Residential, said this is only the beginning.
"We have lofty goals for our organization, and we are excited for the challenge," he said. "We feel that our unique approach, communication with our clients and our commitment to disrupting the historic industry standard is contributing to our success and we could not be more excited."
Valiant prides itself on delivering "institutional expertise, with a boutique approach." This allows for a unique level of communication at all levels of the organization that one does not typically find in other similar-sized property management companies.
"While they are totally innovative in how they do things and the way they roll things out to be leaders in our industry, they instill the ability to laugh and show compassion," said Megan Mann, community manager and Valiant employee. "They instill in us that, regardless of our role, we are important. The passion they have for their employees is a top priority. I feel that it is the main reason we are successful as a company."
Zac Martinez, assistant community manager and Valiant employee, shared similar sentiments.
"To see the president of the company come by the property and ask how everyone is doing is rare," he said. "This top-down approach is contagious, and it makes me want to work harder and bring my best to the office every day."
Valiant is showing no signs of slowing down. The company is constantly looking to assume management of new properties across already established states and is looking to enter new territories, as well.
"The company's expansive growth over the past two years is an incredible achievement, however, we want more people to experience the Valiant lifestyle," Lashley said. "We will continue to grow our organization in unison with our client base so that our boutique approach will remain strong. Being compassionate and transparent has gotten us to this point, and we will continue to be those things as we grow together."
