Owner/tenant/HOA access allows each respective person the ability to view important reports and property status in real-time. The property database is completely searchable from anywhere on the site. > > **Cons**: The task feature is a bit wanting. It's good for what it is, but dedicated project management or to-do list applications work just as well or better in most cases. > > We have enlarged our client base with Buildium's features thanks to their focus on speed and accuracy with payments, reporting, and accounting ease. ----- ### "My Go-To Recommendation" — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *28 May 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Covers all our bases\! It's been easy to use and teach to other employees, we've never had problems with customer service, payment processes, managing. I also really love how sleek it looks\! We get a lot of bang for our buck\! > > **Cons**: I wish it had better options for expanding our business, as we are moving from only house and apartments to motels and hotels as well and Buildium doesn't have great option for that, so we will have to switch some of our properties when we find another option for those. > > Fantastic overall\! In my personal three years of using it, I've maybe had one problem that I needed to call customer service for. Everyone who has used it on our team loves it and we've had it for around ten years in the business\! ----- ### "Works for Basics, Falls Short on Accuracy" — 2.0/5 > **Elegija** | *09 February 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildium’s centralized platform made it easy to manage leases, rent collection, maintenance requests, and accounting all in one place, which helped streamline day-to-day property operations. > > **Cons**: The tenant screening feature lacked accuracy and reliability, making it difficult to rely on without external verification. > > Overall, Buildium provided a solid all-in-one platform for basic property management tasks such as rent collection, lease tracking, and maintenance coordination. However, limitations in flexibility, customer support responsiveness, and screening accuracy meant that supplemental tools and manual processes were often necessary. ----- ### "A Bookkeeper's Perspective" — 4.0/5 > **Lisa** | *20 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildium is super easy to use for the most part. It has a great layout that is user friendly. For the accounting forms and co-owner forms, one only needs to enter the requested information, everything else is done behind the screens. The speed of transitioning from page to page and updating of information is excellent. Recurring transactions, that on our previous software had to be processed on a certain day of the month, have now all been automated with Buildium. > > **Cons**: Closing work orders is not yet being closed by our maintenance staff, so I get a stack of them to close. I have tried several different ways to just go back to the list. The program will not take me back to the list. The best way that I have figured out how to do it is on the first time in the work orders list is to put in a filter for the work order number, then after closing that work order, go back to maintenance tab, then work orders, then putting in the new work order number. Basically, going back to the beginning for each work order, except that the filter will stay as long as I work on them consistently at that time. On our previous software, there was an option to search for a dollar amount, which was very helpful, especially in the banking area. Buildium does not have that option except to use the computer keyboard functions and only on the current page. When paying a vendor by an EFT payment through Buildium, they each have to be paid separately so the exact amounts so up in the banking area to balance the bank statement. If they get paid all at the same time, Forte will put the total amount into the bank account in Buildium instead of posting them individually. I was unable to link the auto reconciliation for the bank statement because there was an issue with app that is being used for that purpose. Buildium could not help me resolve the issue since it is not their app. There was no support for the other app. The lock-box files from the bank also have to be entered manually into each individual co-owner ledger account. Our previous software allowed that process to be done through a list and searching for the account number. > > Overall, Buildium has been mostly helpful. Buildium would be wise to give some review and consideration to the additional accounting apps that are being connected through their system to make sure that they are functioning as they are meant to. The normal payment processing of co-owner payments and also making vendor payment is quick and easy. Customer support is always eager to help. I cannot say whether or not it is a good value for the money since I do not use all aspects of the system. Based on the news letters, I feel that it is geared more for rentals than for a condo association that has only 10% rentals, which are only rented through the co-owner of the unit. Therefore, I cannot comment on any portion of the lease management either. ----- ### "Great for Accounting and Reporting" — 4.0/5 > **Kelli** | *17 June 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildium has a platform that makes rent collection and report generating easy. The different types of reports that I can pull, customize, filter and export are wonderful for providing to our Rental Owners. > > **Cons**: When I go to print certain items, the pages pickup the content from the previous page, and are unreadable. This happens when I have posted our collection of Management fees, and when I go to print the item, it produces a page that has a bunch of information and text from the previous page on it. I am usually required to filter out and reduce the page size to be able to read what I need on the page that I am printing. If you would like a demonstration of this, I would be happy to provide it. It started happening a couple of years ago, and I have tried different browsers, tried clearing cookies, ect. Nothing has worked to fix this issue. > > I have used Buildium for the last 11 years. While I don't utilize all the products that it offers, it had been the platform that we needed to be able to manage our finances for property management. ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/101749/buildium-property-management-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/101749/buildium-property-management-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
