Wood Residential Retains Top National Online Reputation Honor in 2021 Division ORA™ Power Ranking by J Turner Research

ATLANTA, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wood Residential, a national leader in multifamily real estate management, has earned the No. 1 ranking for online reputation for the second straight year in the 2021 Division ORA™ Power Ranking. The management company officially achieved this distinction within Division III (10,000 to 19,999 units), but also posted the highest overall score across the top three divisions (all companies managing 10,000+ units).

The Division ORA™ Power Ranking was introduced by J Turner Research in 2019 to recognize companies that manage over 2,000 units for excellence in online reputation. Companies are ranked based on their Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) score—the multifamily industry standard to measure and benchmark a property/company's online reputation. The unit cut-off for each Division was determined based on portfolio data obtained from ALN Data Services in June 2021.

"Wood Residential has taken a very deliberate path in how it has focused on customer service and reputation management," said Steve Hallsey, Managing Director for Wood Residential. "Everything we do revolves around our culture, from building value for our clients and investors to ensuring our properties perform at an industry-leading standard. At the heart of all we do is a continual focus on our residents. We're delighted to gain this top designation from J Turner once again, which highlights how our efforts are paying off."

This impressive recognition is the latest victory for Wood Residential in 2021 after earning numerous individual property honors from J Turner Research earlier this year. In January, 17 Wood Residential properties earned the Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking for finishing among the top 1% of properties nationwide for online reputation, including 11 properties that placed in the 99.9^th percentile. Additionally, Wood Residential was featured in April's ranking of the Top Properties by Online Reputation in the 50 States and D.C., with seven of its properties appearing in the state rankings.

"With its stellar online reputation, Wood Residential has earned the top ORA™ distinction among all companies in Division III for 2021. Wood Residential has focused on winning over its residents in person, which is evident in its high ORA™ score. ORA™ is a single score that represents a company's online reputation across a variety of review platforms," said Joseph Batdorf, president of J Turner Research.

Developed by J Turner Research, the ORA™ Power Ranking is a monthly, independent ranking of apartment properties and management companies based on their ORA™ scores. The ORA™ score is an aggregate compilation of a property's ratings across various review sites and ILSs and serves as a benchmark to compare a company's properties and portfolios nationally, regionally and against the competition. Each month, J Turner Research monitors the online ratings of more than 123,000 properties nationwide to inform the rankings published by media partner Multifamily Executive.
