Buildium

Buildium Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Buildium helps your team manage leases, tenants, and accounting in one place. It simplifies rent tracking and offers a clean, easy-to-use design. Recent updates include e-signatures for lease addenda and automated bank feed rules. Watch out for challenges with customer support and banking setup.

### Our verdict

It works well if your team needs quick access to tenant, lease, and payment details. It also streamlines rent collection and task tracking. But you’ll face trade-offs: support can be slow, and banking workflows may frustrate you. Buyers should weigh these limitations against the platform’s ability to centralize operations and cut manual work.

My experience with the program once I got the hang of it has been very good. Good guidance videos and written material to help you thru an issue/question you might have.

Pros

Having all the tenant's information in one spot. For example work orders, emails, payment history and making payments online. Also it interlinks with our rentals and advertises vacancies and takes them off when rented.

Cons

I haven't really found anything that I least like about the program. Some things were a little challenging but I got thru the issues by looking up information on buildium.

Overall, my experience with Buildium has been very positive. It has helped me stay organized with property management, tenant communication, and tracking tasks. Once I learned the system, it became a valuable tool for keeping everything in one place and running things more efficiently.

Pros

What I liked most about Buildium was their customer service. Every time I had a question or ran into an issue, their team was responsive, patient, and easy to work with. They took the time to explain things clearly and helped me find solutions quickly, which made managing properties much less stressful.

Cons

What I liked least about Buildium is that some of the features can take time to learn when you first start using the platform. There are a lot of tools available, which is great, but the setup and navigation can feel a little overwhelming in the beginning.

Once you get to know Buildium it becomes very easy . I find itis easy to keep track of the owners statements and keep it up to date .

Pros

I love the way it keeps you updated with the reporting and accounting . I like the way you can add invoices and not worry about them not getting paid .

Cons

There is no instruction manual to read to find all the options that Buildium offers .Beside this I can not see any thing else I dislike . I believe you get great value for your money.

Good except for above issue. Would be nice if someone reached out to our head of accounting, \[sensitive content hidden\] to discuss this.

Pros

Easy to use. Communication with tenants is good. Integration with Property Meld. Visually appealing dashboard etc.

Cons

Accounting weaknesses and customer support in the area. Our head of accounting has been trying to get help with an issue for months, and no response or help.

The onboarding was great and geared toward the properties needs and follow-up's were always on time and I was presented with a wealth of knowledge in learning the new dashboard.

Pros

Everthing from beginning to end has been a great experience. Ir's a stremlined platform with the ability to streamline tasks.

Cons

Nothing. The offerings of buildium are great for property management. the task of entering the data into excel was tedious but served it's purpose n the end.

Good, helps to have good control of tenants and make their payments easier through the resident center. I can see any outstanding balances at a glance

Pros

The ability to set up tenants, keep control on their leases and see their payment status easily. Payment processing is excellent with tenants having their own platform and provides a good reporting to see my metrics easily. User interface for tenants is excellent

Cons

The user interface for admins could be more consolidated and easy to navigate, with the options being better categorized.

Very good. Your customer service team is very knowledgeable, and they always call back when I leave a call back number.

Pros

Lease Management, Accounting, Reports, Reliability. I like that the property management data base is fully integrated with a double entry accounting system.

Cons

I would like to have the ability to make journal entries specifically for accrual basis accounting and specific entries for cash basis accounting. In particular, for management reports I would like to easily spread the annual payments for real estate taxes and insurance as a monthly expense on an accrual basis report.

My overall experience with Buildium has been so good. We went from no software to this and it has been such an easy transition for not only us at the office but our tenants have had a smooth transition as well!

Pros

How there was an onboarding specialist helping us learn the software every step through the set up process. She answered all of our questions and was so nice.

Cons

My only complaint is that we use Buildium for a commercial portfolio, one of our strip malls has separate fire (street) numbers for each unit. This means in Buildium each unit is its own property instead of being under one property. It isn't a huge deal but just a bit frustrating.

Overall, Buildium is an all-encompassing property management platform. I used Yardi many years ago and Buildium seems to have much greater functionality.

Pros

I like Buildium because I can access all of the landlord and tenant information, lease agreements, etc. relatively easy. I served as the Maintenance Coordinator for Sunset Property Manager for a year but now act as a Leasing Agent.

Cons

Some links aren't identified as links (e.g. tenant names) which was confusing when I began using Buidium two years ago and sometimes I need to click on multiple links to retrieve the information I need when I should only have to click on one.
