Happy Birthday, Blog

This month, we celebrated the fourth  shutterstock_130246721anniversary of our Yardi corporate blog. This special project, created for Yardi clients and employees, has now been ongoing since February 2012. To date, we have published more than 1,200 articles.

Our readers are at the heart of our content decisions and we applaud and appreciate you. Thank you for your attention to our words and interest in the real estate technology industry. Our mission is to provide a broad focus on the many places where our built environment and technology intersect. They are all around us, and increasing in number at a rapid pace with innovations like connected homes, smart utility systems, and constantly improving cloud-based property management software.

In the four years that we have been blogging, Yardi Systems has grown, expanding to a staff of over 4,700 employees in 37 offices around the world. Our ever-expanding global footprint and product platform are a constant source of inspiration for new articles.

As we look forward, we intend to keep providing you with interesting and engaging content. We welcome your story ideas, and you can reach us by emailing [email protected].

On behalf of myself and the editorial team, thank you for your readership. Here’s to many great years to come.
