Last year, Yardi joined a select club of businesses to whom the Better Business Bureau grants membership.<\/p>\n

The BBB accepted Yardi after completing an accreditation process that certified the company\u2019s rigorous ethical practices in business operations, dispute resolution and data protection.<\/p>\n

The BBB, founded in 1912 and based in Arlington, Virginia, is a nonprofit organization that partners with leading companies to promote best practices in business ethics, marketplace excellence and effective industry self-regulation. More than 90 BBB chapters are active in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n

Benefits of BBB membership include positive visibility and credibility among consumers and other businesses. Accredited businesses can leverage online BBB advertising, marketing and media resources, along with a plaque, certificate and window decals. The membership also offers consumers a platform for resolving disputes and posting reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese tools will help you to enhance your reputation and build a better business,\u201d says Rick Copelan, president and CEO of the BBB chapter that encompasses the tri-county area around Yardi\u2019s headquarters in Santa Barbara, California. This chapter approves only 6% of applications for certification.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarning BBB membership helps us show our clients and the real estate markets we serve that we\u2019re committed to delivering high-quality products and services while upholding the highest standard of ethical conduct,\u201d says Arnold Brier, senior vice president and general counsel for Yardi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
