Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

BuildingLink is a community association management software for co-ops, condos, HOAs, and multi-family buildings. It helps property managers, front desk teams, and board members with recordkeeping as well as service requests and maintenance handling. Users generally laud its consolidated approach that results in transparency for all management-related tasks. However, some note an outdated UI. BuildingLink recently launched “ManageHOA” for single-family home and townhome communities.

Our Verdict

BuildingLink is a good fit for various communities across the real estate industry that require administrative and portfolio management services. It’s also best suited for facilitating a seamless collaboration between the staff and residents themselves. Pricing is custom-quoted and might require a full service contract for any function, highlighting its focus on larger communities. Therefore, we recommend it for established property companies that need to centralize their operations in one system.
