Stessa

Review:

While Stessa is not an all-in-one property management solution, the platform offers comprehensive accounting and financial tracking tools to ensure property owners, investors, and rental agents are kept up-to-date with their properties' finances, as well as real estate market trends.

The software's standout features include automated income and expense tracking, tenant screening, document storage, and a convenient mobile app for on-the-go management. While completely free to use, the platform lacks several services offered by its competitors, such as tenant communication and renter's insurance.

Pros:

• There is an easy-to-use dashboard that allows users to organize and access data efficiently.
• Stessa offers a free service for users to efficiently manage their properties' finances.
• The platform features robust online rent payments and expense tracking tools via its integration with Blue Ridge Bank.
• There are automated workflows in place to ensure quick and easy rent payments and reminder notifications.
• The rental application management tool includes tenant screening, rental application forms, and document storage.
• Users can access comprehensive, tax-ready financial reports.
• Thanks to the platform's integration with Roofstock, users can advertise listings on the site with ease.
• There is live chat support, as well as a help center and user forums, available.

Cons:

• Unlike some of its competitors, such as Buildium, Stessa does not offer maintenance requests or tenant communication tools.
• The platform lacks more advanced management tools, such as renter's insurance and property message boards.

Reputation:

On G2, almost a dozen users gave Stessa a 3.8-star rating. The majority of users were satisfied with the platform's comprehensive transaction imports, reporting tools, and income-tracking capabilities. However, some users noted unresponsive customer support and the lack of a mobile dashboard as downfalls.
