Chose Buildium
We only went with Buidlium because we had the option to absorb the fees for rent payments. I wanted to provide $0 fees for Tenants to pay online. I'm glad we went with Buildium in the end but that was the only reason we moved forward with them was because we could customize …
Chose Buildium
Appfolio is my favorite software, and they are constantly making improvements. Buildium is great if you don’t have a ton of property but is not as manageable for advanced accounting and resident information tracking. There are workarounds, but they do need to work on their …
Chose Buildium
Buildium is generally slightly less expensive than Matt folio but continues to offer all the same benefits. I reviewed at folio on an annual basis to ensure that I am getting the best value for my money and year after year Buildium is showing me that I am. I’ve also noticed …
Chose Buildium
Buildium is far better than Appfolio, especially when comparing user features and friendliness. I have also used Propertyware which was a total mess and had frequent outages. I have found that Buildium's online and phone support has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Chose Buildium
I liked the free trial option with Buildium, and it seemed easier to learn and train on.

I'm very happy with the service provided via phone, to me that is the absolute largest draw. I also really appreciate the integrations Buildium offers. I mostly appreciate HappyCo, Petscreening, and Hunter Warfield. None of these are seamless in their communication with Buildium but it's still a vast improvement from having to have separate accounts from Buildium so overall, it is beneficial to our company

Cons
RealPage
  • Hello Sign has been a really rough transition and is not as user friendly as Adobe Sign.
  • Customer service struggles to understand what is going on and you have to hang up and call to get someone else.
  • Owner portal is lacking in my opinion.

RealPage
Overall, the system is good and getting better; however, different roll outs have caused the system to regress. Their latest bank automation rollout was a disaster and continues to be an issue. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to sync our bank and Buildium (download transactions).

I have been able to get through to support immediately and they have been awesome in quickly resolving issues. More importantly, their communication when there is an issue which might take some time to resolve surfaces. Getting updates and resolution are critical.

Return on Investment
RealPage
  • Buildium absolutely saves time. Having all of our management systems in one place is almost beyond a value at this point because it’s the basic requirement of running an effective property management company.
