Broker and Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Broker and Owner" December 6, 2024 5.0 My experience has been great. Anytime I have a technical issue I can also get someone on the phone or when submitting a support ticket my issue gets resolved fairly quick. Pros The platform is very intuitive and robust. It has all of the features one would need to manage a growing portfolio. Cons I would love to see more automation features but for what they have it's perfect for me. Switched from [Yardi Breeze](https://www.capterra.com/p/164741/Yardi-Breeze/) We wanted to get a platform that is online and now just local to the computer. Review Source MC Maria C.

Pros It is very practical, easy to use. I like all the functions. I totally reccomend it. It is very complete. Cons I don't like it that there is a delay that seems to long to post replies.

Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildium Review" May 28, 2025 5.0 Pros The customer support is very helpful! The site is also very user friendly for both management and tenants. Cons I wish there was a way to see all recurring charges for all tenants who have them. This would be much more efficient when searching for recurring charges. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great automation" July 22, 2025 4.0 Good for large property management companies. I am happy once the setup is complete. Initial setup assistance for small organizations like us would definitely make this product valuable for everyone. Pros I like the automation of rent payment collection from tenants and paying the owners via ACH. Accounting is great. Nice reports for tracking and viewing the bigger picture. Cons No phone customer support for the plan I have. I don’t need premium plan as I don’t have many properties to manage. Alternatives considered [Rentec Direct](https://www.capterra.com/p/120753/Rentec-Direct/) Reason for choosing Buildium Friend Referral. He was happy so i trusted my friend and tried.

Pros It's a very efficient with making sure we are up to date with the lastest tools to succeed in our property management.

Property Manager Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Poor Communication" November 4, 2025 1.0 I was told I would have a 6 week training with the on boarding. Which I have a couple of calls with really no results but homework, so basically you train yourself on the website but you paid a pretty nice price for this. I will not recommend this company to anyone. I give it a ONE Pros Buildium Academy - this the only thing I like about this company. I am thinking this is maybe not the company for our business and it is definitely not worth the money. Cons The on boarding so called training. If you pay a company for training I expect training not a quick phone call and then an email with all this homework. Bad description of a onboarding tanning pitch.

Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Has some small issues " December 13, 2024 4.0 I have been using it for over 10 years with two different companies. I tried switching to another one, but it just didn't make the cut. Pros \- Simplified documentation process - Adding new tenants - Issuing notices - Access to tenant and owner portal Cons Not very Canadian friendly. It should integrate LTB notices and print receipts for large rental payments involving multiple people. Switched from [Entrata](https://www.capterra.com/p/20372/Entrata/) I previously used Buildium and decided to return after trying a Canadian product. Review Source KR Kelli R.

Controller Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Seamless Experience" December 10, 2024 5.0 Pros Very user friendly system and easy to navigate around. I like the audit report very much as I constantly have to oversee staff performance. Cons No option to use a default bank account for vendor payments vs. rent collection certain reporting unavailable such as monthly breakdown of occupancy reports/collection reports Alternatives considered [Yardi Breeze](https://www.capterra.com/p/164741/Yardi-Breeze/) Reason for choosing Buildium We valued the customer support dedication and user friendliness of the system. I also love the fact Buildium keeps updating its system to meet the needs of its users. Switched from [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) The system was not user friendly and more pricier. Review Source WKL William Kent L.

Review Source KL Karen L. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy Buildium User" December 17, 2024 5.0 I think Buildium is a good platform with strong support for the subscriber. They continue to improve the platform and they are open to subscriber request. Pros The support staff has always been exceptionally helpful. I am pretty stupid about some accounting procedures and they walked me step-by-step through my problems. They went beyond what anyone should expect and was always patient and pleasant. I liked their shortcuts that were available for often used entry. Cons I really had few if any complaints. Weaknesses were on my part and not Buildium. Alternatives considered [Rent Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/2732/Rent-Manager/)[NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Buildium Buildium met my needs and was affordable.

Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canceled and they are charging me for 260 unused software days." May 5, 2025 1.0 Good until I left the platform. They would not settle my account for the used time on the plaform and charged me an extra 260 days. Very bad business. Pros Good software for large scale property management, but poor customer decisions regarding cancellation on their platform. Cons Bad taste on leaving the platform after I sold my properties. - I pay annually an they decided they would not refund me for unused software days on autopay - 260 days - so they ate $600.00 of my money. Other software platforms do not charge you for unused days when you cancel. Bad exit. Review Source Response from RealPage May 21, 2025 Thank you for your review, Daniel. To clarify, per our terms of service we do not offer refunds when accounts are canceled. This is because the subscription remains active for the remainder of the time left in your subscription, allowing you to access it to retrieve reports, data, and other uses. We hope that helps clear things up. JO Joshua O. Property Manager Assistant Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" November 7, 2025 4.0 Overall experience has been great.

CEO Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "not for canadians" February 18, 2025 3.0 lots of tools and add-ons that are marketed by buildium are not available to canadian users. that was very frustrating. Pros it was very accountant friendly software, made tracking everything as financial data very simple Cons if you aren't an accountant, it was not user friendly at all.

Partner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Looking for a new program " January 6, 2025 3.0 It’s started out fine but slowly have declined. Pros Posting rent payments to the ledger as well as the applications. Cons If you are on the essential plan, you can not call them to ask questions but they can only email you back . I called to ask a question because no one responded to my email and the customer service said she could not talk to me because I was on the essential plan but she would email me. Also, they increase prices quite often. We are going to look for other programs to help with our properties.

Commercial Property Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Let us have the option to use one invoice per month per tenant" December 6, 2024 4.0 good overall, but you are missing some basic functions that need to be added. I am a commercial property manager and I need to be able to send one bill per month to each tenant with multiple charges Pros I never have to worry about remembering rent increases Cons That I cannot put 5 charges on one monthly invoice all together. The tenant shouldn't get 5 different bills and storing all the extra paper is a pain Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) We liked the property management aspect like rent increases automatic when we initially enter the lease. Review Source KA Katia A. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Red Oak Apts" December 17, 2024 4.0 I have had a great experience with Buildium, even though I know I am not using it to the full potential. There are still things I need to look into and figure out before I implement more usage. Pros It is easy to understand, even for someone who does not have any property management knowledge Cons The way tasks are set up is a bit inconvenient, maybe making it user friendlier, with more freedom to edit and maybe a notepad like experience.
