Through its software-as-a-service platform, RealPage’s extensive product line offers the full range of owner and investor services—including property management, leasing, marketing, resident services, and more. The systems are web based, and can be accessed with one login.

PAYMENTS

Pricing

Given RealPage’s substantial offerings that serve large-scale and enterprise-level investors, its pricing is accordingly substantial, users on the BiggerPockets forum note.  Amber Gonion calls RealPage “amazing,” but adds that it can be “very pricy.” While she prefers it over other platforms like Appfolio, she notes that it is “much more expensive.”
