Rentec Direct

Amazing Solution!

Comments: Overall Rentec increases the profitability of my company immensely. It allows me to automate and streamline many activities that both save time and improve accuracy. Their support team is very responsive and always happy to help walk me through any questions I may have on an entry I've made.

Pros:

Rentec is very user-friendly. It's functionality is laid out well and it offers modern integrations such as online rent collection, pay owner by ACH, and electronic signatures for lease agreements. I also am impressed with their customer service. They are always very prompt and helpful.

Cons:

I wish they offered a mobile app for property managers.

It's All About The Customer Service! HANDS DOWN Above and Beyond The Rest!

Comments: To reiterate: I love the company itself. The platform does everything I need it to in order to run my professional property management company efficiently.... so would many others out there..... but it's really the customer service that is where all my affections for Rentec Direct lie. ALWAYS AND EVERY SINGLE TIME.. no matter how big or small my issue may be... even if it is for just suggestions for future improvements or tiny quirks I think could be fixed... THEY TAKE EVERY ONE OF THEM SERIOUSLY! I always get a response back in a VERY respectable timeframe.... They take the time to COMPLETELY understand my problem.... and they work at my issues until they are SOLIDLY resolved.... I HIGHLY value any company that takes the time to invest in their customers with quality, responsive, caring, and personable customer service. Rentec Direct is all that and more and this means the world to me. THANK YOU RENTECT DIRECT FOR ALWAYS MAKING ME FEEL IMPORTANT AND THAT I MATTER EVEN IF I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FISH IN THE PUDDLE!!!!! I switched from Cozy... Cozy was only for small individual landlords. I needed a platform that catered to professional property management with more features. Rentec Direct was the only GOOD PROFESSIONAL option that didn't tell me I needed a WHALE of a portfolio in order to be blessed with holy entry into their ranks. The rest wouldn't give me the time of day once I told them the size of my portfolio. Rentec made me feel like I was important even just starting out with only a handful of clients and units under my wing. After getting the same story from other platforms before coming across Rentec, the very first question I asked a live rep I spoke to was "Do you have a minimum portfolio size requirement?" and they happily said "Not at all!" This meant a lot to me! and I have been grateful ever since. Rentec Direct has my loyalty as long as they don't ever change their practices from the way they are now!

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything. Sure... there's a quirk here or there.... BUT GUESS WHAT?!... They take suggestions for future implementation AND ACTUALLY DO THEM when they are able!.... So my quirks eventually end up going away at some point! I've actually had some of my very suggestions implemented on future updates! When they say they passed your idea on to the developers, THEY DO!!!... not just "toss it in the bin" after the conversation ends.

Can't recommend this to everyone.

Comments: Honestly, I would switch to another company if I could, but I have too much data in, and am too busy to go through a transfer now, and all of the hassles that would entail. I think Rentec may be a good option if you have only a few units, and very simple accounting, and are looking for a budget product, or have some familiarity with accounting and property management software, so you really don't need the support.

Pros:

So it is very affordable, and some of the software is pretty simple to set up. They are continuing to add support articles and more functionality.

Cons:

Functionality, especially in the accounting area is limited. No ability to select "classes". You have to find work arounds for things that you shouldn't have to. The support team is of little support. I have email chains with OVER 15 EMAILS AND THE QUESTION STILL HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. It is difficult to reach anyone when you call most times, so you are relegated to chat/email, and often my main question or issue is NEVER actually answered. I still have issues from my first month, and I am now in month six, that are unanswered. Many of the things I have learned, were from hours of trial and error. If they are not going to have a free support option that is actually helpful, then they at least need to offer a paid option. There is also a big gap in the merchant processing area. Their processor, Forte, often sends you back to Rentec, and Rentec sends you back to Forte, and the pricing of the merchant options is not clear or transparent until you get your bill.

Great Property Management Software

Pros:

Simple enough and still has lots of power

Cons:

nothing I like the program. and how easy it is to use

Rentec Direct Has Never Failed Me

Comments: No issues, great platform.... Give it a shot!

Pros:

Easy to use, excellent and responsive customer service, no issues in the 3 years I have been using it.

Cons:

Nothing major.... They are always improving the QOL tidbits and adding new features..... I just make suggestions on improvements wherever I feel something could be improved or implemented.... They do listen to them and I've noticed implementations of things I have wished to see.
