Bryten Real Estate Partners, a Phoenix-based multifamily management company, has been honored by the National Apartment Association (NAA) as one of the top 10 employers in the nation for 2024. This recognition marks the third consecutive year that Bryten has received the prestigious award, a testament to its ongoing commitment to fostering a people-first culture.
The NAA, a leading housing organization in the rental housing industry, evaluates thousands of multifamily companies nationwide to determine its top employers. As a federation of 141 state, local, and global affiliates, NAA encompasses over 95,000 members representing more than 11.6 million apartment homes globally.
The ranking is based on anonymous employee satisfaction surveys, which assess an organization’s ability to create a supportive, innovative and collaborative work environment.
The award is a tribute to management companies that have gone above and beyond to cultivate safe, engaging, and caring workplaces.
“The team members of Bryten are the backbone of our organization and it is an honor to be recognized as a top employer,” Founding Principal Joe Emerson said. “By having a people-first mindset, we continue to have success, grow, and support the multifamily industry nationwide.”
Since its founding in 2023, Bryten Real Estate Partners has rapidly emerged as a leader in the multifamily management space. With over 1,150 employees and a portfolio of nearly 47,000 units across 11 states, Bryten’s growth has been remarkable.
The company also manages properties in Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York and Texas markets. Despite its rapid expansion, the company’s core mission has remained the same: to put people first.
“Bryten has undergone many changes and growth in the last year, but our number one priority has not changed,” Libby Ekre, founding principal of Bryten, said. “Our team members in all departments across the nation are some of the most kind and knowledgeable people in the business. We are fortunate that all of these amazing people have come together to support Bryten, and we will continue to strive to be a great place to work for many years to come.”
The award also underscores the company’s leadership in creating a work environment where employees feel valued and engaged.
