Nice people, very good service & very good product
I switched to Appfolio from LiveRez for the accounting and the online advantages where tenants could pay online, owners could log in and see their statements online but mainly because the accounting is soooo much easier. It has streamlined our day-to-day activity by at least 50% if not more. We are a company that manages both long-term unfurnished properties and short-term vacation rentals. Appfolio is geared more towards the long-term properties but it has the capabilities to handle the accounting for short term vacation rentals as well. Not quite as integrated but it works. The only thing I would really like AF to be able to offer to customers is a way for us to make changes to the website directly so that we can change wording on different pages, change pictures that are on the home page, etc and be able to do so in real time. Now, you have to submit changes and someone gets to it in 2-3 days hopefully. That is the only thing I think could improve AF superiority. Also for customers to change page layouts (pick from some templates) that apply to different aspects of the company. Right now, our vacation rentals are listed but AF can't take out the APPLY NOW button which does not Apply to short term vacation rentals. This would be an easy fix to even change the button to read (Click to Inquire) or something like that where the button goes to a reservation page for vacation people to fill out. If the Website could be improved to accommodate both types of rental homes and also where customers could add/delete/change Metatags on their sites to improve SEO. This was something LiveRez had and it worked well. Overall, I am very pleased but would like to see more changes to accommodate Website changes on the fly and also add in something to the software that would work with vacation rental reservations, bookings, and all that goes along with this aspect of property management.
