The automation that is built in with Buildium allows me to run multiple properties seamlessly as an individual.

Overall a great system

Its great,I'm not be expert using this but somehow I see you're efforts keeping this web more useful.

Good Software for property management

Good Software for property management - for managing other people's properties. Lacking a bit on property owners managing their own properties.

Very good

Very good. I like the training videos. Some frustrations with doing searches though. For instance, if my tenant has the last name of "Oh", it will give me lots of other tenants, and even applicants, before I actually get the tenant I'm looking for. But, guess that's just the nature of search engines.

Buildium is an excellent site, but Canadians lack services

Buildium is an excellent site. Being from Canada though, there are things that they do which are not useful to us, and things we wish they did, but probably the number os Canadian clients might not justify the expense. Canadian tax system for example. Another problem is that tenant payments by credit card are not extended to Canada. Don't know why, we were no offered a reason.

Great program!!

I love it!! It's easy to learn and much easier to use.

I've been a Buildium customer for 3 years, don't make my mistake

I've been a Buildium customer for almost 3 years now. I have to say without reservation, their software is extremely hard to understand and use.

It was designed by property managers, and that shows through in every aspect of usability and UX/UI conventions. Not to mention it is remarkably slower ...

They make it hard and don't care

Our property manangement company has used Buildium for over a year and we can't wait to switch (which unfortunately will take some time, in part because how hard it has been for all our tenants to just get setup in their terrible system). Their customer service is terrible- often taking weeks to respond to inquiries if they ever respond. Their software is poorly designed, burying things inside tons of menus with no breadcrumbs to return to menus. It generally takes 10 steps to do what other ...

The setup process is very involved and…

The setup process is very involved and the interface is not intuitive. After setting up a bank account, and Lin king the account to ALL my properties, and entering data, a month later I received an email that I had transposed two digits of the account number. A simple error, easily fixed, right? WRONG!! Nothing is simple with Buildium. I have to go back and delete ALL entries relating to the old account, then deactivate the account, set up a new account, and because I am "changing accounts" ...
