Camillo Companies announced today that Legend Homes and SimplyHome were named to the Houston Chronicle’s 2023 list of Top Workplaces. The awards mark the fifth and third consecutive years that Legend Homes and SimplyHome made the list, respectively.
“We’re incredibly proud to be named among the best, most impactful companies in the Houston area,” Camillo Companies CEO Margaret Potter said. “Listening to and investing in our employees is a top priority. These awards are an acknowledgment from our team that they can see and feel our sincere commitment to them — and to making Camillo Companies better each year.”
Every year, the Houston Chronicle partners with Energage to survey employees working for organizations in the metropolitan area. Workers are asked to rate companies on their culture, benefits, leadership style, environment, and other key factors. Organizations with the highest scores are officially added to the Top Workplaces list.
In 2023, Legend Homes was named to its fifth-straight Top Workplaces list. The accolade marks a year of tremendous growth and development for the homebuilder, which launched several new communities throughout the Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas-Fort Worth regions, introduced all-new branding in spring 2023, and was named the 33rd largest homebuilder by revenue in the country.
“It’s always an honor to be named as a Top Workplace in our hometown,” Legend Homes President Tanya Rizzo said. “This year, we’re especially excited to celebrate five straight years of making the list. It’s a testament to the work our team does day in and day out.”
Likewise, affiliate brand SimplyHome was named to its third-straight Top Workplaces list. In 2023, SimplyHome rebranded from its original name (Camillo Properties), celebrated its 10,000th home constructed, and launched a new partnership designed to help residents increase their credit scores.
“Workplace culture is incredibly important for our leadership team,” SimplyHome President Matt Hansen said. “Being named as a Top Workplace for three years running is a great way to celebrate these efforts, but we know there’s always more that can be done to elevate the employee experience."
The Houston Chronicle named 199 companies to its 2023 Top Workplaces list. Legend Homes first made the list in 2019 while SimplyHome has been a Top Workplace since 2021.
“Company culture is always a work in progress,” Potter said. “Industries change and leadership shifts over time. But we remain more committed than ever to our team because we know that our success does not just begin with our employees — it is driven by them.”
