    Valued software partner for small property managers

    Date: Nov 15 2024
    Summary

    For a small property management company like ours, Buildium offers all the tools we need to be responsive to our tenants and conduct our business. I really can't say enough about how they made onboarding easy and continue to provide support when we run into new situations.

    Positive

    Support team is responsive and helpful. The software itself is easy to use and makes maintenance requests, rent collection and tenant communications a breeze. Buildium Academy courses and articles were especially helpful to get our company up and running.

    Negative

    There could be additional customization options and functionality for email and website.

    Great assistance with signing up. System is fairly simple. Really enjoyed the Buildium Academy. A big help!

    Negative

    Have not found a con yet. If i did need to point one out i would say response time from support.

    Buildium is perhaps the largest property accounting service in the world

    Date: Mar 20 2021
    Summary

    In case of unforeseen events, Buildium is very helpful in organizing repair and maintenance tasks of rented or in the process of renting, and to carry out better controls on the solvency of tenants within each property. Buildium is one of the best and most useful rental management services.

    Positive

    Buildium puts at our disposal management tools with which collecting property rental payments is fast and secure. With Buildium we can control lists of properties that are in the process of renting, or we can manage information about overdue payments or other pending payments. With its task list we can create annotations of each problem to be solved in the properties.

    Negative

    The list of properties for rent is not updated as quickly, so you have to wait for the properties published within the platform to appear visible to the public. Once they have been published, the Buildium platform does not notify us about it by email. From Buildium it is not possible to send text messages to clients using other platforms.

    Buildium allows us to constantly review our condominium accounting

    Date: Mar 22 2021
    Summary

    Buildium is the right service for the owner of a property, whether it is a work location or simply for housing, to keep informed about price updates in the market, and can create payment plans comfortable enough for themselves and for customers who will make use of the property.

    Positive

    Buildium has an excellent communication system, from which interacting with clients and sellers/landlords of other properties is simple, so that in addition to functioning as a catalog to view commercial and housing properties, it also serves as a portal for everyone to keep in constant communication.

    Negative

    Buildium integrates poorly with social networking platforms, so in case of emergencies the best thing to do is to send messages via email, which can be tracked to know when the recipient, usually a client or the property manager responds. Buildium has a very expensive price per month.

    Best HOA self-managed software

    Date: May 15 2020
    Summary

    Would highly recommend for HOA's who want to be self-managed and get away from nickel and diming of management companies.

    Positive

    User friendly, vast options that will grow with your HOA, outstanding customer service and online information for any question you may have.

    Negative

    Nothing found, so far. Still exploring the many options available.

    Buildium - best property management software I found

    Date: May 15 2020
    Summary

    Excellent! I don't know how we have ever run the company ever before without this software! Buildium is a property management software for dummies - and I mean it in the most positive light ever.

    Positive

    This software is so intuitive to work in. It saves so much time processing transactions. Really easy to fix any mistakes you may make as a first time user. So many functions that can make your life a lot easier as property manager, and so much easier for your tenants and maintenance teams with the personalized portals for each one of them. Integration is seamless. The onboarding team is excellent. We're working with Cameron - knowledgeable, funny, go get attitude, and will find a solution to any problem. Cannot say enough good about him or the software itself.

    Negative

    Have not yet found a single thing that I don't like about it.

    Onboarding Support with Buildium Software

    Date: Jun 27 2020
    Summary

    Meridee has been an incredible support and partner in onboarding our nationwide team to Buildium. Meridee's wealth of knowledge, software savvy, and professional approach have been so appreciated. Meridee not only knew the software extremely well but she was very understanding and professional with new users as they learned the ropes.

    In the middle of our software transition, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which closed all our locations nationwide. Meridee assisted us through the shutdowns and remained with us until all our locations reopened. We are grateful for her support, training, patience, and coaching!

    Positive

    The user interface is well designed, providing a streamlined experience. The onboarding specialist provided during the training phase was crucial to our success.

    Negative

    I have been well satisfied - no cons to report on - thank you!

    Meridee is Awesome!

    Date: May 15 2020
    Summary

    Fantastic! Meridee alone has been a world of help. She even was able to help when I received different solutions (all correct) from support. She helped clarify the correct solution.

    Positive

    Meridee has been an invaluable resource of information. Her on-boarding training was great, and when I had an issue with something, she was willing to schedule time to help me work it out!

    Negative

    None - I have received help when needed if I had a problem.

    The tenant portal allows for everything in one place, communication to bill pay to important documents.
