It's a property management organizational dream tool. Pros Buildium is easy to use and very organized. It's like me in computer programming form. I love navigating through each tab to complete my task or work orders. Cons There's not too much that I do not like about Buildium. If I had to say one thing it'll be the task email reminders that come super early in the morning. Switched from [Happay](https://www.capterra.com/p/143249/Happay/) Happy App was too confusing. I could grasp the concept. Review Source AS Ateer S.

They offered to build it but we went a different direction. Pros We enjoyed working with Buildium but needed to change for different options. They offered most of what we needed.

BROKER Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love Buildium! " July 17, 2025 5.0 We have had a wonderful experience with Buildium. The tech support is great if we need assistance. It's user friendly. Pros It's a "one-stop shop"for property management. We can record rents, make announcements, handle maintenance requests, and do our accounting all in one software. Cons The phone app isn't as user friendly as on the computer. It would be more helpful to have that work well when you're in the field.

Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buildium - Somewhat Lacking" May 26, 2025 4.0 I initially liked the software but the backend communication is clunky and tenants have felt the same way. The flow of information with tenants, tasks and rent rolls need to be more integrated. Pros The dashboard provides clear and concise information regarding tasks, rent rolls and leases. Ability to assign tasks, set up form documents, and populate system is straightforward., Cons Replies to emails sent are sent to personal emails so tracking of tasks and documentation is harder to do. Merge documents have no preview function to double check correct information being sent. connection between financials with rent roll is not clear and concise, particularly if payments are being made with different means other than EFT Review Source JH Jacob H. Maintenance Technician Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Maintenance Tech Review " July 31, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience has been one of ease. The clients and workers are able to connect with ease. And reply with each other Pros The ease of the process of updating projects. The billing process. And ability to upload pictures. So that the client can view the whole priced DMV Cons The limited amount of pictures allowed to upload at a time. It would be better if pictures were unlimited. Review Source JD JoJo D. Broker Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Property Management Platform" July 17, 2025 5.0 I have had an overall great experience with Buildium. The customer service is very nice and helps me with every situation. Pros It is really good to keep tract of everything. It helps me make sure I have forms updated. The customer service is accessible and helpful. Cons There is a lot to learn and I feel like I need more training. There are a lot of features I have not used yet, and hope to know how to use them.

We couldn't do what we do if we didn't have Buildium! Pros The speed and efficiency is outstanding! I love that Buildium is always updating and creating new ways to do what we need it to do! Cons I dislike that sometimes there are little glitches like Im seeking a tenant and it will produce results that include tenants from a different property.

Marketing and Technology Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildium is a must for property management" May 20, 2025 5.0 Buildium has been good overall, they seem open to feedback and are quick to address issues that arise. Pros It's essential for our property management company. There's a lot of features and built in reports that are super helpful. Cons I wish there was more customizability. It seems like something they are exploring with custom fields feature, but there's so much data around properties, this should be a standard. Review Source Response from RealPage May 22, 2025 We appreciate hearing how essential Buildium is for your company, Emily! And stay tuned for more releases around customization, including custom reporting. CF Colleen F. Community Association Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Community Association Manager" October 30, 2025 5.0 Overall we have had great experience with buildium and the system itself. I can do a lot of things remotely. Pros The easy access to information when needed through the mobile application and the fact that I can find information quickly. Cons I cannot find anything that i do not like about buildium as i find the system to work well for our needs Review Source SF Stephen F. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Linking Bank Account" January 13, 2026 1.0 Brief. We had to move on due to delays in linking our business bank account to the portal for payment receipt. Pros Buildium software fairly easy to use and seems like it would do the job fine. I was able to enter property and client details without guidance. Cons Their "free demo" expires after one week and I do not recall them mentioning that at the outset. Also was a big pain o try and integrate bank accounts; after going through the normal process they added a request for a "selfie while holding photo ID" Switched from [Avail](https://www.capterra.com/p/181119/Avail/) Expanding out of the Avail size user model. Review Source JH Jessica H. Real Estate Property Management Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildium gives any other platform a run for their money!" December 5, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience with Buildium has been great. Like mentioned previously, there are a handful of features that could allow for a bit more efficiency but Buildium is far beyond its competitors the way it is already. It is extremely easy to navigate and also provides a ton of resources for DIY problem-solving which is much appreciated! Pros What I like most about Buildium is the user-friendly navigation. I have operated out of many platforms (Yardi, Entrada, DoorLoop, OneSite, Appfolio, RentManager, Guesty etc.) and Buildium is by far the easiest to feel your way through no matter the experience level. I have trained the most seasoned teams to the greenest teams and the way this software is laid out is so practical compared to a lot of other options on the market. Also, we experience way fewer inquiries from tenants and owners than we have in the past in terms of navigating their portals. Maintenance requests, general support needed, owner contributions, report interpretation etc. has been a breeze for our tenants and clients. Cons There aren't any features/lack thereof that I don't necessarily like about Buildium, but definitely think the existing Buildium could offer some features that would make day-today operations a bit more efficient: - Giving tenants the ability to submit their notice to vacate via Resident Center - Automatically reversing management fees collected on payments that have been reversed - Create a space on owner/tenant/property pages to interact with/tag other team members so correspondence can be internal/recorded - Allow for import/export of workorders/tasks - Allow scheduling of reports to be emailed (monthly/quarterly generated Owner Statements) - Show At-Will leases within lease renewals - Add a pop-up feature when paying bills by check (like the Trust Account warning) if a vendor has e-pay info - Add a report that shows bank balance breakdown without management company income included Alternatives considered [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/)[ONEsite](https://www.capterra.com/p/225682/ONEsite/) Reason for choosing Buildium Better onboard experience, more cost effective, better door options, needed more functionality, "nickel and dime" every click (Appfolio), needed better tenant experience Review Source JL Jackie L. Administrative Assistant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is Great" February 12, 2026 5.0 Pros customer support ease of use user interface features this are all great in buildium. i only process invoices. Cons I don't have any. I don't use much of it besides entering invoices or vendors. I help when help is needed for the accounting team. Review Source AK Anthony K. Asset manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall a good product for landlords " May 22, 2025 5.0 It has been good. Set up was a breeze and I was able to add all my units in a couple hours. I think they should work on better documentation for accounting and security deposit processes. Pros Easy to use. Tenant feedback has been positive. I like the ease of rent, insurance, and renewals. For the money, this has been a good experience. Cons I find security deposit handling, prepaid rent, and rent changes clunky. Accounting functions are overly complex. Alternatives considered [Availity](https://www.capterra.com/p/68854/Availity/) Reason for choosing Buildium Great demo and good pricing. The ease of setup clinched the deal. Switched from [Avail](https://www.capterra.com/p/181119/Avail/) Avail was super buggy. Building is much easier to use. Review Source KE Kristen E. Office and maintenance coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product- Works well for property management company" May 19, 2025 4.0 Over all it is a very useful tool. Works well for our office. Could use a little work in the area of vendors. Pros We really like that you can create maintenance work orders for our vendors, accept payments to a portal, esign documents, send leases and other forms electronically Cons Vendors are unable to respond to work orders, When a new lease is signed it automatically changes the rent date to the date it was signed, even for our current residents, Review Source Response from RealPage May 22, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review, Kristen! We like hearing that Buildium has so many useful maintenance and leasing tools for your business. You should be able to select the specific rent date prior to activating a new lease. Please reach out to customer care and they will be able to offer you advice. JW Janice W. Assistant Treasurer - HOA Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HOA Support through Buildium" November 5, 2025 4.0 All in one tool for communication and accounting, that adds efficiency to HOA operations. The support team for set-up and kick start was very helpful. They also provided training videos. Pros Buildium is a user-friendly. It adds value to HOA mangt of Communication with residents as well as its Accounting & Reporting capabilities are superb Cons Inability for homeowners to pay fees directly on the platform due to region location not being supported. Review Source BJ Barb J. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Buildium " May 13, 2025 4.0 Pros Overall good, it's easy to use typically no issues with the system. Cons Applying a pre-payment is very confusing the only person in our organization that can do it successfully is my boss. The changes happening in the ledger, please don't let those go into effect, the new version is much more cumbersome to read. Recording a Bill now also requires me to click the arrow to move the upload and view your attachment here, it's in the way. Review Source Response from RealPage May 21, 2025 Thanks for your review, Barb. Be sure to check out Buildium Academy to learn more about the prepayment feature. That should help clear up how to use it. MC Matt C. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Glad I Converted to Buildium" December 9, 2024 5.0 Overall it has been good. I am getting the hang of the system and believe I will be able to scale my business quickly once I'm ready. Pros I just started using Buildium and so far it has been good. Our onboarding calls were great and the team got us set up to use the system in no time. Cons I feel like I went into month two behind the curve. My onboarding was complete but there were a few items that I still don't know how to properly do in the system. While there is a lot of support information, my searches don't always find articles I need to support my business. One more support call would be solid. Alternatives considered [RentRedi](https://www.capterra.com/p/199707/RentRedi/)[Hemlane](https://www.capterra.com/p/147198/Hemlane/) Reason for choosing Buildium Buildium seemed more established versus some other start-up type businesses that would have had learning curves. Switched from [RentRedi](https://www.capterra.com/p/199707/RentRedi/) Rent Redi did not meet my needs as my management business started to get more complex.

Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good Property Management system" July 17, 2025 4.0 Great! I love the flow of information through different phases of buildium. Having an app for the Phone was a plus. Pros User Friendly, timely notifications, complete solution for Property management. Good customization options. Cons Not sure. This system has everything that our old system lacked. So I am not sure about any cons of Buildium. 1 thing that can be inproved is that the phone app can have more accessibility options for data access.

MB Mary B. CFO Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buildium customer feedback review" October 30, 2025 4.0 Overall Buildium is a good product that takes some time to learn and feel comfortable with using. The customer service support is the make or break for me. If it wasn’t for the fast, efficient, reliable, resourceful customer service agent, we may have had to switch platforms early on. Pros Customer support is quick to access and efficient, simple interface and large selection of reports to access. Cons Hold times for support can sometimes be long, some agents - like 10-15% - seem less knowledgeable or possibly even still in training. Encountering this can sometimes be frustrating when I need quick efficient support. 7-10 business day set up for epay is too long. Review Source CG Christina G. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Real Estate Agent/Lead Property Manger" May 13, 2025 5.0 The system works great. I enjoy using the software. Pros The ability to track work orders, by all of the parties (tenant, staff and owners). Cons The features of the online application and how it converts to the tenant portal when the applicant is approved, especially for multiple applicants.

Office Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Working W Buidlium as an Office Administrator" May 16, 2025 5.0 Pros What I like most about Buildium is how resourceful it is and organized. We can sign leases through the portal, email and have paper trail, Communicate with tenants directly and receive task through the portal. Cons I think what i've disliked about Buildium so far is the way they changed the bill process for us managers to pay the vendors. Review Source Response from RealPage May 22, 2025 Thanks for your review, Nenaa! It's great to see how useful Buildium is for you.

Some areas need a place to store more information for the tenants. Pros Ease of payment processing & customer support are great in Buildium. The platform is relatively easy to use. Cons Not being able to make corrections on reconciliations without undoing all. Also the tenant portion needs to be able to have all info. It would also be nice to add a pop up on the tenants account Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
