ATLANTA, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, Wood Residential, a national leader in multifamily real estate management, has earned the No. 1 ranking for online reputation in the 2022 Division ORA Power Ranking. The management company officially achieved this distinction within Division III (10,000 to 19,999 units). And for the second straight year, Wood Residential also posted the highest overall score across the top three out of four divisions (these three divisions comprise 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.

"At Wood Residential, our success is measured first and foremost by our customer service and reputation management," said Steve Hallsey, Managing Director for Wood Residential. "As our portfolio of properties continues to grow, we remain focused on consistently delivering the highest level of customer service for our residents, investors, and third-party management clients. We know that our competitors are increasingly focused on online reputation as well, so we are particularly proud of our teams for raising the bar once again to earn this top designation from J Turner for the third straight year."

This impressive recognition is the latest victory for Wood Residential in 2022 after earning numerous individual property honors from J Turner Research earlier this year. In January, 14 Wood Residential properties earned the Elite 1% ORA Power Ranking for finishing among the top 1% of properties nationwide for online reputation, including seven that were ranked in the Top 100 in the nation. Additionally, in April Wood Residential earned top marks in J Turner's State Power Rankings, with eight properties winning Top 10 awards for their state, highlighted by five properties that ranked in the Top 3.

"Wood Residential has maintained a consistent focus on doing what is right for their residents, which has led to significant gains in their online reputation. The company has increased its ORA score by more than five points since last year, and its properties have featured in multiple ORA Power Rankings for their high scores. Congratulations to the entire team for ranking number one in our Division Ranking for the third consecutive year," 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 and reviews of more than 128,000 properties nationwide to inform the rankings published by Multifamily Executive. For June 2022, the national average ORA score across all tracked properties was 62.79. Wood Residential's award-winning score in June was 88.22, an impressive 40% higher than the national average.
