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. ”
DB

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.”
AR

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.”
KM

Kelli M.

Manager

Pros

“My only exposure to accounting was in high school bookkeeping back in the mid-sixties.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Bill S.

Managing Member

“What really sealed the deal, beyond the great customer service, price, unlimited training, and quality of the product, was the ability to get my company, tenants, and owners signed up for e-pay in less than five minutes.”
jt

jennifer t.

Owner

“Right from the start, they were charged $3 for using EFT payments and $9.95 for debit card payments.”
CA

Cynthia A.

Owner and Agent

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.”
AN

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.”
CD

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.”
AN

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

Cons

“I couldn't use the function of having tenants electronically sign a lease because the lease that is available is worthless for us.”
CA

Cynthia A.

Owner and Agent

“It typically took 6-10 business days. Unless you are a large company, you can't afford this to happen.”
