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

“These checklists can even include instructions for completing each individual tasks as well as links to off platform videos ( think google drive, Loom and Youtube) for walkthroughs of more difficult tasks”

Deryk H.

CEO and Managing Broker

“Its intuitive interface makes tenant management and rental processes effortless, while robust reporting features offer clear, actionable insights.”

Trisha K.

Marketing and Operations Director

jenny l.

Property Manager

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

“The UI of the software tries to declutter your screen by hiding tools in pop-up buttons across different areas of the screen, which in turn makes it hard to know where something is, as it is not labelled anywhere.”

Alejandro H.

General Administrator

“A lot of User Interface gap connections, Scripting is difficult with little guidance of which Class/Function applies to what etc., NO Free add-ons, Tenant difficulty using/instruction on use, limited # of users can access at one time, rent manager university only has 1 profile included, can be extremely costly with addition of all of the add-ons to make it the way you want it to function which can be time consuming trying to find alternative ways to make things work.”

Kaila C.

Property Administrator

“As both a loan originator and property manager I find myself needing to send the same messages over and over and in the past meant - from my cell phone - 1 tenant or borrower at a time. ”

Sheila E.

Operations Manager
