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.
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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!

So far so good.
PROS
We have just begun using the software and so far there have not been many issues that we could not fix on our own. it is easy to follow and simple to learn how to do things. Their Buildium academy has helped me fix or learn things. The articles for help are very user friendly.
CONSthe inability to make customized reports and very limited reports may become a problem in the future.
Reason for choosing Buildium
it all came down to pricing and the online academy
Reasons for switching to Buildium
we felt that Buildium was a better fit to our business.

Disappointing and getting worse
I once felt like a valued customer, but with the multiple buy outs be prepared to feel like a number more so than a client.
PROSBuildium is a very basic property management software that will work well for small property management companies who do not require many features and who do not require much customer service.
CONSCustomer service has progressively gotten worse and worse over the 7+ years I have used them. Buildium lacks many very basic features. There is always a "work around" to accomplish something that should be simple, but with Buildium very rarely is anything simple.
Reason for choosing Buildium
They used to have a small company feel with great customer service but the times have changed for Buildium.

Best move i have made to automate my rental management - Tired Landlord!
I feel it took my automation to a new level - making all my tasks much easier. I often tell fellow landlords if they don't have a software for managing their properties, they should definitely try Buildium out!
PROSMy husband who is very picky has really liked the accounting management he is able to achieve with Buildium. I take care of the maintenance portion and really appreciate that the tenants can put their repair request into the portal with pictures. From there, i can create a work order to send to a vendor/handyman and easily attach the photos, plus it will include the tenants contact info for their convenience - and mine!!
CONSI miss that it doesnt send a text alert to my phone when a request for maintenance is entered, and it only does emails to the handyman. However, the Buildium ap has notifications, and i recently found a widget that i can put on my home screen and see incoming request...plus if i scroll down, it even has the previous ones so i can easily go right to it to update it. So, i give them a pass on no texts at this point!
