It's All About The Customer Service! HANDS DOWN Above and Beyond The Rest!

5

To reiterate: I love the company itself. The platform does everything I need it to in order to run my professional property management company efficiently.... so would many others out there..... but it's really the customer service that is where all my affections for Rentec Direct lie. ALWAYS AND EVERY SINGLE TIME.. no matter how big or small my issue may be... even if it is for just suggestions for future improvements or tiny quirks I think could be fixed... THEY TAKE EVERY ONE OF THEM SERIOUSLY! I always get a response back in a VERY respectable timeframe.... They take the time to COMPLETELY understand my problem.... and they work at my issues until they are SOLIDLY resolved.... I HIGHLY value any company that takes the time to invest in their customers with quality, responsive, caring, and personable customer service. Rentec Direct is all that and more and this means the world to me. THANK YOU RENTECT DIRECT FOR ALWAYS MAKING ME FEEL IMPORTANT AND THAT I MATTER EVEN IF I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FISH IN THE PUDDLE!!!!! I switched from Cozy... Cozy was only for small individual landlords. I needed a platform that catered to professional property management with more features. Rentec Direct was the only GOOD PROFESSIONAL option that didn't tell me I needed a WHALE of a portfolio in order to be blessed with holy entry into their ranks. The rest wouldn't give me the time of day once I told them the size of my portfolio. Rentec made me feel like I was important even just starting out with only a handful of clients and units under my wing. After getting the same story from other platforms before coming across Rentec, the very first question I asked a live rep I spoke to was "Do you have a minimum portfolio size requirement?" and they happily said "Not at all!" This meant a lot to me! and I have been grateful ever since. Rentec Direct has my loyalty as long as they don't ever change their practices from the way they are now!

Cons:
I honestly can't think of anything. Sure... there's a quirk here or there.... BUT GUESS WHAT?!... They take suggestions for future implementation AND ACTUALLY DO THEM when they are able!.... So my quirks eventually end up going away at some point! I've actually had some of my very suggestions implemented on future updates! When they say they passed your idea on to the developers, THEY DO!!!... not just "toss it in the bin" after the conversation ends.

Lower price point for similar services... I'm a frugal type!

There is a bit of a learning curve. I'm sure we still are not using all of the features. It's a little clunky with the accounting, and I wish there were a few more reports.

Clearly software made for and by users!

Amazing. Simply amazing. Their customer support is the best. Took me 20min on the phone and I knew this was it. I’ve used many of the other “big names” in PM software. Good luck getting support from them. I have my guy who I schedule sessions with as needed, but their online chat people are just as good. Never have I heard “I don’t know how to do that, let me find out for you.” With other softwares that was the answer to every other question.

Pros:
The software is very intuitive and has many features I wasn’t even looking for in software but couldn’t imagine living without now. I’m looming at you Mr “text from the system” feature! As far as the things I actually knew I needed, it had all of that at a price that was great. In fact, I run a property management company as well as my own rentals that must remain separate. I have two subscriptions to Rentec now, one for each!
Cons:
while the website has a great mobile friendly option, it would be easier for my team and I if you had an app. The portal and owner apps are great, just get us a good managers app to complete the trifecta.

Honestly, I would switch to another company if I could, but I have too much data in, and am too busy to go through a transfer now, and all of the hassles that would entail. I think Rentec may be a good option if you have only a few units, and very simple accounting, and are looking for a budget product, or have some familiarity with accounting and property management software, so you really don't need the support.

Pros:
So it is very affordable, and some of the software is pretty simple to set up. They are continuing to add support articles and more functionality.
Cons:
Functionality, especially in the accounting area is limited. No ability to select "classes". You have to find work arounds for things that you shouldn't have to. The support team is of little support. I have email chains with OVER 15 EMAILS AND THE QUESTION STILL HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. It is difficult to reach anyone when you call most times, so you are relegated to chat/email, and often my main question or issue is NEVER actually answered. I still have issues from my first month, and I am now in month six, that are unanswered. Many of the things I have learned, were from hours of trial and error. If they are not going to have a free support option that is actually helpful, then they at least need to offer a paid option. There is also a big gap in the merchant processing area. Their processor, Forte, often sends you back to Rentec, and Rentec sends you back to Forte, and the pricing of the merchant options is not clear or transparent until you get your bill.

Even though we jumped to Buildium for most of our Property Management activities, we stayed with Rentec for the marketing aspects as their system is probably the most flexible out there for that. It would be better if we had 1 system doing everything but we are picky and want the best best of both worlds are willing to pay for it.

Pros:
We use the property setup screens, the rental website portal, and syndication. We love that we can list a rental property and either syndicate it to listing services or just advertise it without syndicating it. This has helped us greatly in our marketing, especially for properties that we will only lease and not manage.
Cons:
Rentec has accounting built-in but we were never able to make a go of it as it didn't have all of the functionality that we needed so we stayed with Quickbooks Premium for years until deciding to jump to Buildium for accounting and leasing.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review, Rick! We're so happy you've been with us for six years and that you're enjoying all the marketing features. So many enhancements have happened since you came on board. I'll reach out to you to see if you might be missing out on new features, especially related to accounting. Cheers!
