Walnut Creek, CA - Great Place to Work and Fortune Media have named Sequoia one of the 2025 Best Workplaces in Real Estate, ranking #11 in the Small and Medium Workplaces category. This marks Sequoia’s third consecutive time earning this recognition.

The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on an analysis of survey feedback from more than 29,000 team members at Great Place to Work companies in the real estate industry. This honor highlights Sequoia as one of the top companies nationwide for workplace culture, trust, and team member satisfaction.

"A lot of the things that make Sequoia a ‘Great Place to Work’ are because of our team members," says Enrica Suson, Vice President of Human Resources. "They demand excellence in everything they do, they take stellar care of their residents and each other, and they hold us accountable to do the same. Our team members are our inspiration, and we are so thankful for them and for this honor."

While Sequoia is known for creating thriving communities for its residents, the company’s commitment extends just as strongly to its team members. From annual in-person and virtual training programs to purpose-driven volunteer opportunities, Sequoia invests in growth and connection. Sequoia also has perks and programs designed with team members in mind, helping them achieve both personally and professionally while promoting a healthy work-life balance.
