Client Testimonials
"More than just understanding specific programs like MRI and Yardi, REdirect understands Real Estate and Technology, with the knowhow to marry the two in order to create efficient solutions to common and less common problems. I can depend on them for out of the box thinking using a variety of toolsets, as opposed to just one specific product. One area where they excel is the ability to move data from one system to another, and I know they are often called upon by the software vendors themselves to perform the data conversion. Their team has extensive practical knowledge, many of whom have worked in vendor, consulting and client positions. I have been working with them on a wide variety of projects for over a decade, and they continue to deliver."

"Allied has engaged REdirect Consulting for a number of MRI related projects. In each case REdirect has demonstrated their professionalism and total commitment to the project. Their extensive background understanding of MRI and knowledge of the real estate industry allows them to really understand the user’s needs and requests. They are able to tailor solutions quickly that get the attention of the users. Allied will continue to look to REdirect for useful and innovative solutions to our information challenges."

"We enjoyed working with REdirect. The REdirect team was easy to work with, helpful and we worked well together. The team understood our problems, kept us on schedule and did their best to address any concerns we had with the implementation. The REdirect team was responsive to our needs throughout the entire implementation process. Beyond the initial implementation we have and will continue to utilize their experience and expertise."

"We are a growing real estate investment company with properties in several Western states and in Canada. As MRI users, we needed a report writer platform that worked well with MRI. We needed a solution that would allow us to automate and customize reports that were being prepared manually and were very labor intensive. After evaluating several options, we decided on Spreadsheet Server due to its ease of implementation, which is accomplished in one day. Training is minimal due to the excel functionality and logic, and can be programmed by our own staff and does not require programming or technical knowledge. From a cost standpoint, the Spreadsheet Server investment has a short payback period of a few months. Other alternatives required a separate server, long implementation/training and programming knowledge. We felt Spreadsheet Server would allow us to be up and running quickly and immediately helping reduce accounting labor hours spent preparing recurring reports. We will be implementing Spreadsheet Server next month and our staff is looking forward to being able to spend less time on preparing reports and more time reviewing and other more important aspects of their job responsibilities."

"When I think about REdirect, what I appreciate most is their business sense. They understand the business purpose of what we're trying to do. Then using their intricate knowledge of the software, are able to make the connection between business and technology. The process is so much easier when we can relay the business requirements to someone who can relate to what we are saying, and then incorporate best practices into their recommendations. With the extensive experience that REdirect's consultants bring, they can quickly recommend creative solutions for our complex needs. We have used REdirect's expertise on both the MRI and Yardi platforms extensively, and they have also helped us convert data from various other systems. Their knowledge of these platforms is incredible! I have worked with REdirect for years, both at Monday Properties and at a prior company. They stick to the plan, deliver on-time and budget, and that's important. They are a great organization to partner with, and I enjoy collaborating with them on new initiatives."

Monday Properties
“We have relied on REdirect for our real estate technology needs since 1999 when they got us up and running on MRI. Beyond the initial implementation, they have continued to prove indispensible in helping us to get the most from our systems. Through custom views and reports (they helped us design and build NYC’s best rent roll!), custom tools that integrate data from other sources, helping us to leverage new system features, conversions from other software and the support they provide (moral and technical) when we’re in a jam, they have always been there to get us through those special projects that are part of the landscape of any real estate management business.
REdirect provides consulting services to our firm that you just don’t typically find elsewhere. Their significant technical expertise is supplemented by extensive industry experience in real estate and accounting. We rely on REdirect for more than just results; we rely on them for advice and best practices on how to approach and solve our business challenges. They speak our language, and know what we’re thinking which makes the whole process smoother."

"We engaged REdirect Consulting for a data import project. Reflecting on the project now a few months later, I must say, what a great experience! In addition to their technical MRI expertise, their industry knowledge, proactive communication and collaborative approach of the consultants make them so easy to work with.
We had great rapport and synergy, and rather than just getting the job done, they explained what was being done and how so that I had a better understanding of the process for the future. They understood the urgency of the project, and got it done on-time and under budget! I look forward to working with REdirect on future projects."

"REdirect’s willingness to work with the client was the most positive attribute about the company; they honored our requests and remained true to the spirit of the contract. I would work with REdirect again and would recommend their services to someone else. It was a challenging but beneficial experience and I am happy we chose to work with REdirect.
Overall, the Yardi implementation was a success. We met all of our milestones and there were minimal unexpected occurrences throughout the process, both of which were good indicators the implementation was executed properly. We were happy with the work that REdirect did for us.
The people we primarily dealt with at REdirect were professional, responded in a timely fashion and understood our concerns. No matter what the problems were, they always came back with viable solutions."
Cathy Louie - Assistant Controller

"Our implementation was done on a very aggressive timeline. The REdirect team was very agile and responsive to our needs throughout, often able to come on-site on very short notice and re-adjust to our needs of the moment. The flexibility and attention we received from REdirect in their service delivery, I don't think we could have received from any other consultants out there, and it was a key component to the success of our project."

"I believe one of the hardest parts of a project is to get the scope of work correct and your team certainly helped us down the right path! I admit I was a little nervous going outside of the security of [our current consultants] but I am glad I took the risk to reach out to your group. Everyone we worked with was professional, knowledgeable and did everything they could to ensure the end result was what we wanted and that we met our timetable. Great follow-up, too calling to “see how we were doing!”.
We look forward to the next project!"

"REdirect helped us upgrade our MRI application and did so in an incredibly smooth and painless manner. We had virtually no downtime or interruption to our business! In addition REdirect was able to introduce us to the new features and help us automate some of our manual processes so we could maximize our utilization of the system. All in all, a value-added project, delivered on-time and budget! And the team was a pleasure to work with as well. Thank you REdirect!"

"We engaged Redirect Consulting to help us with our Yardi lease renewal program. We needed additional enhancements to a heavily customized renewal routine that was built years ago. The team at REdirect was able to pick-up the existing program and enhance it to meet our new specifications. It’s important for us to have projects delivered on-time and budget, and REdirect delivered! This was our first time using REdirect, and we were very pleased! I look forward to using REdirect for our future Yardi projects."
