Long & Foster Real Estate has had a lot to celebrate recently! Not only did Long & Foster earn the prestigious honor of No. 1 Top Workplace in the Richmond Times-Dispatch this month, but also the Governor of Virginia shared his enthusiasm for the brokerage’s exceptional workplace and this tremendous honor.

A partnership between the Richmond Times-Dispatch and Energage, a third-party data analytics firm, the Top Workplaces program measures company’s leveraging feedback from their own team members. Long & Foster’s agents’ and employees’ enthusiasm and pride in the company shined through in the survey, placing the company at the top of the list among large organizations.

“Your own employees have affirmed your dedication to creating an exemplary workplace by providing a high-quality work environment, a suitable work-life balance, and great training opportunities and benefits. Not only does this award recognize your commitment to the highest standards in business, it will also inspire other employers to reach new levels of excellence,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin shared in the letter to Patrick Bain, President and CEO of The Long & Foster Companies.
