Dallas, Texas (June 3, 2025) — Valiant Residential is proud to be featured in Multifamily Dive following our recent debut on the National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) 2025 Top 50 Managers list. In a Q&A led by Senior Reporter Leslie Shaver, our President and CEO, Craig Lashley, shared an inside look at the momentum behind Valiant’s growth—and what sets us apart in the world of apartment management.
The article covers how we’ve scaled from a single-site operator to a multi-state management firm with more than 35,700 units across the Sunbelt, all while staying true to our mission: to innovate property management through prosperous partnerships and compassionate people.
In the interview, Craig dives into what’s fueling that growth—including how we leverage technology to streamline operations without losing the human touch, and how we’re continuing to build a team-driven culture rooted in trust, transparency, and purpose.
“We’re not focused on being the biggest—we’re focused on being the best,” Craig shared in the interview. “That starts with investing in our people, building real relationships, and leading with heart.”
Craig also emphasized that our recognition is a direct reflection of the team members who power our communities every day. From leasing professionals to maintenance teams and regional leaders, the Valiant spirit is alive and well in every corner of our organization.
This spotlight from Multifamily Dive is an exciting milestone—and one more example of how bold ideas, a strong culture, and shared purpose continue to define Valiant Residential’s path forward.
