Rogers Healy Companies is set to transition to a remote-first business model starting October 1, departing from its long-time headquarters in Knox-Henderson to a smaller office located at The Crescent in Uptown Dallas.
The decision to move reflects the company’s observation of the evolving real estate landscape, characterized by increased reliance on technology, greater flexibility, and a stronger emphasis on people-centric approaches.
Founder and CEO Rogers Healy expressed the company’s commitment to prioritizing relationships, stating, “Real estate has always been about people and relationships. Properties are the product, but people are the business. This transition allows us to keep evolving, investing in our people, and growing our presence across Texas and beyond.”
The new headquarters address will be 100 Crescent Court, Suite 700. For the past five years, the company had been located at 3001 Knox St. There, it steadily expanded its office space before experiencing a significant growth of over 7,000 square feet in 2021.
The umbrella of companies under Rogers Healy includes Rogers Healy and Associates Real Estate, Rogers Healy and Associates Land + Lake, Healy Global Real Estate + Relocation, Healy Property Management, and Rogers Healy and Associates Commercial Real Estate.
Leaders at the company noted that this transition aligns with the way many real estate agents already operate—constantly on the move and meeting clients in varied locations. By adopting a remote-first approach, they aim to reinvest in their staff and enhance technology resources available to their agents, ensuring they can provide robust support to clients.
Diyanna Ahuja, senior vice president of operations, highlighted the forward-looking nature of this move, emphasizing, “Our agents are constantly on the move, meeting clients wherever opportunity takes them. This shift also allows us to double down on technology, giving our agents smarter tools and stronger support. At RHA, we don’t just follow industry trends, we set them by putting our agents and their clients first.”
This shift to a remote-first model aligns Rogers Healy and Associates with other businesses moving away from traditional brick-and-mortar headquarters. For instance, eXp Realty has established a virtual headquarters focused on agent training and collaboration, showcasing a successful model within the real estate sector.
Amidst shifting workplace trends, some companies, including Amazon and Starbucks, continue to enforce return-to-office mandates following years of hybrid work. In contrast, several tech-forward firms, such as Spotify, Crowdstrike, Kraken, and Affirm, have embraced the remote-first or work-from-anywhere approach.
According to a recent analysis by Robert Half, hybrid job postings have significantly increased in recent years, while fully in-office positions have notably declined. Concurrently, market research indicates that approximately one in six companies now operate fully remote, with a broader percentage offering hybrid working arrangements.
Recent commercial real estate data supports these changes, with CBRE’s 2024-25 workplace research reporting that companies with over 200 employees favor office spaces that are, on average, 7.5% smaller than their previous ones. The trend reflects a broader movement towards downsizing office footprints as the conversion of office spaces into multi-family housing and demolitions surpasses new office construction.
The rationale for a remote-first model in real estate firms is both practical and financial. Since agents spend most of their time engaging with clients at properties rather than at desks, this transition allows companies to allocate resources towards tools and services that enhance agent and client interactions, rather than maintaining underutilized office spaces.
Leaders at Rogers Healy Companies view this strategic shift as an opportunity to enhance operational productivity and better serve their agents and clients in a changing industry.
