Buildium is a fabulous choice for any in the property management biz

We've been using Buildium for a couple of years now and are very satisfied with it.

PROS

I like the clarity of the way the information is set up and ease of use. Having the Buildium Academy to train is a HUGE bonus.

CONS

I have issues with one area, and that is with the deposit disposition when leaving, but part of that is my fault.

Reason for choosing Buildium

We chose primarily on price, ease of use and responsiveness of support. Frankly, Buildium was the best and has proven to be a great move! I can tell that Real Estate professionals were instrumental in the creation of this program!

Best property management software for the price

Reporting is important and Buildium lets you know who owes how much and what bills need to be paid. It simplifies the bookkeeping aspect and gives accurate accounting if used properly. Really enjoy having a dashboard with all critical information at my fingertips.

PROS

Buildium is packed with features to streamline property management and cashflow. There is no better way to accept tenant payments and pay vendors online with the click of a few buttons. Once we got our tenants and vendors using the payment portal, we drastically reduced time spent on processing paper bills and checks. There are so many ways to automate tasks and save time.

CONS

I'm hoping that the developers add the "Duplicate Invoice" feature in the Bills module. This would save a lot of time when entering several bills at once. Setup is difficult but key to make the software work for you.

Reason for choosing Buildium

Price and familiarity with the product.

Reasons for switching to Buildium

More features and better software for managing 50-100 properties.

Vendor Response

Hi Aaron, Thanks for your feedback and excellent suggestion about making duplicate bills! Did you know you can submit suggestions like this directly to our developers? If you haven't already, navigate to the "Suggest a feature" option in the Help & Support menu in your Buildium account. - Charlie

Absolutely Terrible Company

Problems since day 1. Was hoping that it was just learning but it turned out their program is just horrible. I don't know how people could ever use this product long term without going mad.

PROS

My favorite part about Buildium was how when I left, they didn't warn us that our data wouldn't be exported or accessible before they deleted it.

CONS

Worst customer service and user interface I've ever used.

Reasons for switching to Buildium

Needed something specific for real estate management.
