Buildium's screening

[Mary Hurd]

Good morning,

Anyone here using the application / screening through Buildium? Is it a time saver with having the residents pre-loaded into the system, then do you just move them into the property?

I have been using Resident Research, overall happy, no complaints. But every applicant and cosigner needs to be manually loaded into the system. Its just additional time I am looking to automate if possible.

Are the reports immediate, or do they still have to do the verify identity aspect?

Anyone leave RR and go to Buildium?

Thanks,

Mary Hurd

I use the integrated system and find it adequate. The other benefit is that the application and screening reports are automatically stored with the tenant.

I hope you have a fantastic day!

Using Buildium will be quicker than re-keying all the applicants data under a 3rd party data solution for sure.  Buildium's application is easy to integrate into your front end website and doing so is pretty user friendly for both tenant leads and PMs.  Once the tenant application is integrated, you should never have to re-key any basic tenant application data into Buildium again.  The tenants do the keying in and their data is then filtered through Buildium as needed as the leasing progression tracks from lead/applicant to eventual bona fide tenant.

Make sure you consider using Buildium's "Premium Tenant Screening" product.  There are several key reasons why using this upgraded product is a better selection than using Buildium's basic tenant screening.  Those reasons can basically be summed up into, (a.) better results, which are (b.) more accurate, and (c.) offer generally more automation for the PM.

Reports are not always immediate.  Reports can take as long as 48 hours in my experience but are usually much faster with some being returned in just minutes.  I can not say for sure, but I believe that if an automated check is flagged for human review by TransUnion, this is when the checks take longer.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Thank you for the feedback!

The reason I left Buildium  / Transunion years ago, is they had that verify identity step. It tripped up a lot of people, held up the process so we left. The turn around time for the reports is very important. So, do you find that the up to 48 hour delay is the exception and not the norm? I mean, it happens time to time with RR, maybe one out of a hundred, if that. If we are looking at 1 out of 10, I probably wouldn't be happy with the switch.

The majority of our backgrounds are returned same business day in my market which does include a fair amount of intra-state transient tenants (ie, new arrivals to Florida).  That said, we set tenant expectations up-front and tell everyone a background check can take 48 business hours to complete just in case as there is no telling how complex any one individuals background might actually be...

And the "Premium Tenant Screening" product will eliminate that old pesky lead-centric step of the tenant having to manually authorize a background check via email which used to impede Buildium backgrounds prior to the introduction of their upgraded Premium Tenant Screening. Premium Tenant Screening elevates your firm to a TransUnion 'partner' after the initial setup which allows your firm to directly order background/credit on tenants from TransUnion after the applicant specifically authorizes you to do so.  No more waiting and wondering if your tenant got the background authorization email or even knows how to use email.

I'm late to the discussion, but I concur with the comments above. We use the Premium Tenant Screening; happy with it; most results come back in minutes, and those that take a day or longer are the exception.
