Pros

“I use it internationally, and it doesnt have options for multiple currencies , i have to switch all accounts to euros, and back to dollars, depending on what account and property. ”

David B.

Manager

“I wish it had better options for expanding our business, as we are moving from only house and apartments to motels and hotels as well and Buildium doesn't have great option for that, so we will have to switch some of our properties when we find another option for those.”

Alexis R.

Property Management

“The different types of reports that I can pull, customize, filter and export are wonderful for providing to our Rental Owners.”

Kelli M.

Manager

Pros

“Wonder if too many revisions updates are necessary or wait and update several at one time.”

TONEY D.

Property Manager

“Their website looks great - but it's mostly smoke and mirrors.”

Adam C.

HOA Treasurer

“I found the interface generally user-friendly, and features like the accounting processing.”

Edward A.

Financial accountant

Cons

“The reports are very boiler plate and require you to download them as an Excel in order to Change the names manually in excel reather than having customizable options.”

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

“My only complaint is that we use Buildium for a commercial portfolio, one of our strip malls has separate fire (street) numbers for each unit.”

Cassandra D.

Real Estate Specialist

“In Canada we use the words Strata or Condominium ... but everything is the program is "Association" and many of the verbage in reporting is also "association" which is confusing for clients.”

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

Cons

“Customer support for HOAs is non-existent.”

Adam C.

HOA Treasurer

“Way too many issues, and extremely slow speed of rectifying these issues with Association Voice.”

Cory H.

Lifestyle Director

“We had roles changed on us, which confused one of our users - causing the user to accidentally delete a content folder. When we contacted Frontsteps for a backup within 10 minutes of the incident, they told us they don't do backups.”
