What is Buildium?

Buildium is a cloud-based property management solution that enables managers of residential and association properties to take complete control of every aspect of their business, including the rent, vacancy and maintenance cycles.

Buildium streamlines management of the rent cycle with key features such as tenant and lease tracking, full general ledger accounting, automated rent and late fee reminders and on-demand reports. Additionally, rent collection can be automated; and property managers can receive online payments via Buildium’s tenant portal.

Management of the vacancy cycle begins with syndicating vacancies to Buildium’s listing partners, including Zillow, Trulia and Craigslist, as well as Buildium’s own free marketing website. When applicants fill out Buildium’s customizable online rental applications, the information is saved instantly to the Buildium tenant database. Buildium also offers online tenant screening services for running background checks.

Tenants and rental owners can submit requests online via Buildium’s tenant and owner portals. Property managers can turn these requests into work items and assign them to maintenance managers and staff using Buildium or Buildium’s mobile app. All requests are timestamped and include an option to attach photos.

Buildium’s tiered-pricing plans do not require a start-up fee or annual contract. A monthly subscription includes 24/7 support from a customer care team.

  • Listening to it's Clients and building out for requested enhancements.
  • Robust reporting.
Cons
  • Enhanced Tenant Screening does not capture criminal history which is alarming.

  • We use the task flow to ensure good communication with tenants and owners.
  • The accounting matches our standards for certifications.
  • Tenant portal allows them to set up auto pay and sends payment reminders.
Cons
  • 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.

Buildium has helped us to grow our property management business beyond our dreams.
