Valiant Residential Debuts on National Multifamily Housing Council Top 50 Managers List

Dallas, Texas (April 23, 2025) — Valiant Residential, a privately held multifamily property management firm headquartered in Dallas, has been named to the National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) 2025 Top 50 Managers list, debuting at number 48 with 35,724 units under management. This marks the first time Valiant Residential has earned a ranking on the prestigious national list, a significant milestone in its rise as a leader in third-party property management. Originally founded in 1987, Valiant Residential launched its third-party management services in 2015. Since then, the company has built a reputation for combining operational excellence with a boutique approach, focusing on a personalized, relationship-driven service.

The NMHC Top 50 Managers list is based on the total number of units under management as of January 1, 2025. Valiant’s inclusion follows a decade of expansion from a single property under its former name, SIMC Management, to a multi-state portfolio encompassing more than 35,000 units. Valiant serves more than 51, 237 residents and partners with a diversified group of clients, ranging from individual investors to large institutional public owner groups.

“This recognition reflects our team's commitment to earning and holding the trust of our clients, many of whom have been with us since our start,” said Craig Lashley, President and CEO of Valiant Residential. “This recognition is more than a spot on a list, it's a reflection of years of hard work, sacrifice, and pure grit from so many incredible people who helped build Valiant into what it is today. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and excited to keep building — with the same focus, values, and dedication to the communities we serve.”

Valiant also ranked among the top 10 Texas-based companies included in this year’s NMHC list. With a strong presence in major Texas markets including Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, the firm continues to scale strategically throughout the Sunbelt, guided by data-backed decision-making, operational agility, and a team-driven culture that sets the company apart from its competitors.

The company’s inclusion reflects its consistent year-over-year unit growth and a deliberate, strategic approach to onboarding new clients. Valiant continues to prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on long-term success and cultural alignment with each property it manages. In recent years, the company has invested in technology to support scalability, including the use of artificial intelligence tools for operational efficiency, real-time performance dashboards, and resident experience enhancements.

Earning a place on the NMHC Top 50 list underscores the strength of Valiant’s long-term strategy and signals continued momentum as the company expands its footprint across Texas and the broader Sunbelt region. As Valiant looks ahead, it remains committed to growing with purpose — delivering performance through partnership and never losing sight of the people at the heart of every community it serves.
