REdirect Consulting partners with SAY Property Consulting

PRESS RELEASE London – March 2024: REdirect Consulting, the global real estate technology solutions provider, has announced a new strategic partnership deal with SAY Property Consulting – leading property advisers in strategic operational management for the living and mixed use sectors.

The partnership deal marks a significant milestone for both organisations in a collaborative move to strengthen the overall service offering provided to real estate companies operating in the UK’s Rental Living market sector, by leveraging their respective expertise to drive efficiency, add value and boost return on investment.

For REdirect Consulting, the strategic partnership will enable the firm to facilitate a more comprehensive offering to its clients in the Rental Living market sector. SAY will provide consultancy advice on matters such as operational budgets, amenities and services, landlord and tenant solutions and estate management strategy – bolstering REdirect’s real estate technology solutions services.

SAY Property has established itself as a key player in the UK’s residential sector, providing expert consultancy advice for some of the country’s leading residential and mixed-use schemes. The scope of SAY’s expertise encompasses the entire life cycle of a development – from the design and planning stage, through to the construction phase to occupation.

Callum Board, Client Success Director for REdirect Consulting, said: “The Rental Living market sector in the UK is in its infancy compared to the sector in the US and Europe. Even though the sector has seen significant growth over the past decade, Rental Living still only represents just 1% of the overall housing sector and less than 5% of the housing rental market.

“By leveraging our expertise in real estate technology with a major player like SAY Property, our clients can drive efficiencies by streamlining and automating business processes, deliver growth through return on investment and provide inspiring places for people to live and work.”

Debra Yudolph, Founder and CEO of SAY said “The partnership with REdirect enables us to bolster the support we can offer to our clients in the rental living space. Bringing together our knowledge of strategic operational management and REdirects’s expertise in innovative PropTech solutions will add real value to our clients.”

“The importance of choosing and implementing the right technology platform for operational assets cannot be understated and designing the operational approach alongside the procurement and implementation of the tech stack will always deliver the best results.”

Formed in 1999, REdirect is a leader within the PropTech services space and is home to some of the most skilled and experienced MRI and Yardi consultants in the business. After successfully operating in the US for more than 20 years, REdirect entered the UK market earlier this year after opening an office in London.

REdirect’s mission is a trusted property technology consultancy, providing innovative solutions that streamline operations, reduce costs, and increase efficiency for property companies of all sizes. It is a global business with offices in London, New York, San Francisco and Sydney.
