Houston, TX — December 3, 2025 — ITEX is proud to announce that we have been officially ranked [#8] in the Best Places to Work Multifamily® 2026 list.
ITEX was first named a finalist in October 2025, and today’s ranking reflects what means the most to us: the voices of our employees. The program’s results are driven entirely by employee feedback, making this recognition a testament to the workplace culture, teamwork, and shared mission that define ITEX.
This year’s results reflect particularly strong sentiment across several areas of the employee experience:
- 92% of employees say leaders care about their well-being.
- 97% feel they are treated like a person, not a number, reinforcing the people-first culture employees consistently reference.
- 95% feel safe and supported in their work environment, a key driver of day-to-day satisfaction.
- 94% feel proud to work for ITEX, and the same percentage say their job provides a sense of meaning and purpose.
- 92% would recommend ITEX as a place to work, showing a high level of confidence and loyalty across the organization.
“This ranking means a great deal because it comes from our people,” said Chris Akbari, CEO and President of ITEX. “Our company is built on the foundation of the great people who have joined us in our mission. Their dedication makes ITEX a place where people can grow, contribute, and feel proud of the work they do.”
