Voyager/Enterprise Client Showcase
I have some of the best clients in the world. Here are a few that have chosen to list their companies on my website:
YARDI ENTERPRISE
JENNINGS & CO. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC., 488 East 11th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97401
David Wiedeman, Controller Phone: (541) 683-2271
Email: DAVE@JENNINGSGROUP.COM
Website: WWW.JENNINGSGROUP.COM
Jennings & Co. is located in Eugene, Oregon in the southern Willamette Valley. We provide full service property management, maintenance and real estate development throughout the Willamette Valley. By having an in-house Maintenance company, we can offer very competitive rates to our customers while maintaining a superior level of quality of work.
We manage apartments, approximately 2000 residential units, and approximately 600,000 sq ft of commercial properties. We have 15 Yardi users and 2 databases in Yardi Enterprise. We also use Yardi to create and generate custom letters and to manage Section 8 affordable housing.
Using Yardi software has increased our productivity due to its integrated vertical platform. Since it is Windows based, training and learning curves are reduced significantly.
Ronelle has been providing support and training for Jennings & Co. since 1997. Her ability to survey situations and propose the most cost effective and time effective solution has definitely been a benefit to our fast paced environment. Ronelle’s vast knowledge of accounting and Yardi functionality has allowed us to not only overcome obstacles with ease, but also provided us with comprehensive approaches to training.
In May 2008 we converted our software from Advantage to Enterprise with Ronelle's assistance. It was a seamless transition both for our clients and our in-house personnel.
LORIG ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., 2025 First Avenue #420, Seattle, WA 98121
Contact: Sheryl Goong, Controller Phone: (206) 728-7660
Email: SGOONG@LORIG.COM Website: WWW.LORIG.COM
Lorig is a real estate development, consulting and property management company. We have been developing and managing properties throughout the Pacific Northwest for over 30 years. Lorig has 15 mixed use properties and 3 commercial/retail properties.
Currently our Yardi system consists of 3 databases and 20 users. Our needs are served by Yardi Property Management, the Affordable and Maintenance modules, and the use of custom letters. Yardi has improved Lorig’s business by creating efficiencies through process standardization and the centralization of information.
Ronelle has been with our company for a long time. She has always been extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable.
FISHER MEDIA SERVICES, 140 4th Avenue N., Seattle, WA 98109
Contact: Kathy Lassman, Business Manager Phone: (206) 404-6713
Email: KLASSMAN@FISHERPLAZA.COM Website: WWW.FISHER.COM
I use Yardi to manage the tenants in the corporate office building, Fisher Plaza. The Plaza is a first-class office building and besides our corporate offices being located here, we also have about 50 other tenants.
Having the ability to automatically track leases is very important. I have managed to convince my corporate office that Yardi is imperative to being able to manage their building.
In 2004-5 I worked with Ronelle and a colleague of hers to create a Rent Roll report which pulled all the data we wanted directly from Yardi. We went through a number of iterations until the Rent Roll was exactly the way we wanted it to look, and contained the precise information we wanted. It was a pleasure to work with experts in developing this very important report.
YARDI VOYAGER
RESOURCE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT (RPM), 32 South Tracy Avenue, Bozeman, MT 59715
Owner: Human Resource Development Council, District IX
Contact: Mary Martin, Director of Housing Phone: (406) 585-4844
Email: MMARTIN@HRDC9.ORG Website: TheHRDC.ORG
RPM, a subsidiary of the HRDC, is the management agent for 10 affordable housing properties in Bozeman and the surrounding area. By focusing on affordable housing projects, RPM has built an expertise in Federal and State guidelines previously unavailable in the area, which has contributed to the success of the HRDC's housing program, benefiting the lives of thousands of clients.
RPM manages Tax Credit, Project Based Section 8, and Private/Public Partnership Affordable Housing Communities for the benefit of low-income families, disabled persons, and the elderly. One property contains commercial space in addition to housing for low-income disabled persons and seniors.
We were operating with the original Yardi Affordable (Btrieve) database until July 2005 when we made the leap to Yardi Voyager ASP. Converting data from such an old version was of course fraught with problems as well as the need to train staff to make full use of the new system. Ronelle was instrumental to our group. While this process is still underway, we have already begun to see positive results from the implementation of Ronelle's suggestions, including the ability to decentralize many of our leasing and rent collection processes without compromising our eligibility and fiscal controls.
Ronelle did an excellent job in assessing where our company was, listening to where we wanted to be, and developing a plan to get us there. Her continuous support and responsiveness made the implementation of this plan possible, which has in turn helped us to better serve our owners and tenants while maintaining cost effectiveness.
PACIFIC CREST PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, 1700 Westlake Ave N, Suite 420, Seattle, WA 98109
Contact: Lauren Piper Phone: (206) 812-9155
Website: WWW.PACIFICCRESTPM.COM
Ronelle is extremely knowledgeable with Yardi programs and was a huge asset during our conversion from Professional to Voyager.
