    Pros
    We scheduled a call and within the first five minutes he was helping true up a couple of items. He was great and provided great value.
    Customer Support is excellent. There is great help on the Chat window and when that isn't available, phone support is great.
    You are provided with more information at the best price available in the market today. What I like the best is not only the information that is provided, but the customer service.
    Cons
    The only downside I have found with this software is its inability to integrate with QuickBooks.
    Strictly operator error, I forget my log in from time to time. Seriously, I haven't found anything I'm unhappy with.
    That company did a terrible job and forced us to find a solution to be able to handle the job on our own.

    Best Value and Easy To Use

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Best value for the price and easy enough for the average person to get up and running.

    Pros

    I love the affordability of the software and the ease of use. I also like the ability to communicate and text the tenants through the portal and track them. Another great feature is the owner portal. Ny owner absolutely loves the easy access and variety of reports available as does her accountant.

    Cons

    Just a little difficult in the beginning setting up and getting the ACH approved for the payment of my owners. Another drawback was that the platform does not sync with my bank management account even though it says it can. I have to manually reconcile.

    Vendor response

    Thanks for the kind words, Robert! Related to your bank Sync issue - some banks actually require separate passwords for sync functionality, and some banks even charge a fee for that tool (Rentec does not). Possibly this is the issue? There is also another option for downloading your transactions from your bank that could speed things up for you.

    Rentec Direct Review

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Love this software for small companies just starting out! So far I believe we selected the right software.

    Pros

    Ease of use and allows us to do every thing we need to manage our properties effectively from rent collection, maintenance, application validation, marketing, reporting and more! The customer service is excellent!

    Cons

    The right click to get to menu items was tough without a mouse but now it is seamless.

    Vendor response

    We're happy you joined the Rentec Direct family, Patti, and that you're enjoying all your tools. Wishing you great success!

    Tested this service - Report that came back did not have the misdemeanors that I already knew about

    Reviewed 5 years ago
    Pros

    Great idea. I wish it worked. Unfortunately, my one time test use of it proves the reports they provide may be inaccurate .

    Cons

    It is not accurate. I tested this service with info on a person I know has misdemeanors. (He admits to them and the local police department in Indiana provided a report detailing the offenses). The "nationwide" report that came back to me after I provided SSN and other requested info, showed no criminal history at all. So, clearly the nationwide background check claim is not accurate

    Vendor response

    Dear Sue, Thank you for taking the time to try our service and post a review. Indiana does indeed have limited coverage as not all counties report misdemeanor convictions to nationwide databases. We (and all other screening vendors) are a bit at the mercy of counties keeping things updated but some still run analog systems and haven't yet converted to electronic, which can slow things down. Also,...

    As a property owner/manager with multiple rentals, we simply could not manage without RentecDirect.

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Our sincere thanks to the entire staff at RentecDirect. You've made our job of mananging properties so simple. It is clear that their support staff is worth the price of admission alone. When requests have been made, their staff takes them seriously and they constantly add requested features to their software when it makes sense and has an impact on everyone who uses it.

    Pros

    RentecDirect gives us a clear accounting of our properties and our tenants. With intuitive drill-down features, you can easily track and locate tenant's important information in seconds. You can also store important property information as well, such as door key codes. Besides giving you an accurate accounting of everything financial, RentecDirect has thought out every aspect of property management and delivers a package which simplifies the process and gives us a one-click report for our annual taxes.

    Terrific software, outstanding customer service!

    Reviewed 7 years ago
    Pros

    I had done an obscene amount of research on software options for my small landlord operation (18 units so far) since I was outgrowing the excel spreadsheets that had at one point kept me somewhat organized. Honestly, I thought my mind was made up on Buildium, but once I did an overview with Kathryn over the phone, I was hooked. I told her exactly what I wanted from the software and where my trouble...

    Cons

    I wish that when filing out a work order, it could be an SMS notification, rather than just an email.
