Brabant Realty and Management selects Yardi to modernize operations, support family business transition 

Family business embraces technology to automate manual processes and support next-gen leadership

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 28, 2025 — Brabant Realty and Property Management, a family-owned and operated real estate company with an 80-year legacy, has selected Yardi^® to modernize its operations and support the transition to a new generation of leadership. With a 719-unit portfolio spanning both multifamily and single-family properties, the firm is turning to Yardi to reduce manual processes and improve day-to-day efficiency. 

Previously reliant on manual workflows for maintenance calls, lease execution and rent collection, Brabant sought a platform that could automate key processes while offering scalability for the future. 

“Yardi gives us the opportunity to move from a paper-based, manual operation to a streamlined digital platform,” said Christy Bischoff, who, along with her brother, Don Brabant, is a partner at Brabant Realty and Management. “This isn’t just about technology, it’s about setting the business up for long-term success as we transition ownership to our children: Megan, Drew, Emery and Sarah. The tools we’re implementing will empower our teams, enhance transparency and improve the resident experience.” 

In addition to Voyager^® 8, Brabant licensed the following Yardi solutions: 

• RentCafe^® Prospect Portal — Online leasing portal to streamline lead management and applicant experience 
• RentCafe^® Resident Portal — Resident portal for rent payments, maintenance requests and communication  
• Procure to Pay^® — Procurement, automated invoice processing and vendor management    
• Maintenance IQ — Mobile-first maintenance management system to improve service response 
• Payment Processing — Integrated rent collection and payment processing   

Yardi also supports Brabant’s goals of strengthening owner reporting, improving resident services and reducing friction across departments. With the platform’s flexibility, the younger generation of owners will inherit a business built on more modern, scalable infrastructure.
