‍Tell us about yourself:

Hi, my name's Ken Durst and I manage about 20 properties in Central Illinois, major university, major national companies, and then we have a series of townhouses that we lease to major corporations.

How long have you been with DoorLoop?

We have just been with DoorLoop for over a year. 

What made you switch to DoorLoop?

We were with this other software program between 8 and 10 years, and we had numerous accounts with them and had planned on staying there. But the level of frustration, when you want an answer, you need it and you just can't wait a whole bunch of time. And so, that's really the biggest consideration that we had in switching software.

How has DoorLoop helped automate your business?

DoorLoop, you've got tremendous means of access, instant chats, you've got phone, you've got Zoom conferences that you can do.

What was your onboarding experience like?

I went through the demo and then we went through the transition. Transition team is great. Your data gets transformed over into the new program. You have exceptional areas that you want developed, they will help you and see to it that it gets accomplished. So yeah, that's been a great... very interested in a satisfied customer.

What is your favorite DoorLoop feature?

The way they've got the software laid out. They've got a people section, deals with vendors and owners, and they've got that laid out so that you can pull up your vendor accounts, you can see instantly what you're paying out and where it's going. The report section is very good. Reports, P&I reports, monthly reports, AG reports, all those things are in there that you would look for in a very serious software management program for properties. We have a lot of properties that we're dealing with and different needs, different situations, but there's not a situation that hasn't been handled with the software we have right now.

What’s your biggest piece of advice for new property managers?

Well, I would say check out DoorLoop. You know, if, anything, I may sound like a commercial for DoorLoop, but that's not the case.

What was your overall experience like with DoorLoop?

Let me just say that personnel at DoorLoop, they are just absolutely superior. I mean, they're just great. We love the relationship that we have with DoorLoop. And if they don't have something quite developed, and they tell you they're going to develop it, they get it done. And so our experience over this last year has just been tremendous.

The Problem

Ken manages about 20 properties in central Illinois, including corporate townhomes, university-area rentals, and units leased by major national companies. For nearly a decade, he relied on Buildium—but the platform became more of a burden than a solution.

The biggest issues weren’t just workflow-related—they were operational roadblocks that slowed down his entire business and created daily frustration.

Key challenges:

• Buildium’s double-entry accounting system was overly complicated and inefficient
• Customer support was extremely slow—3–4 day wait times for simple answers
• Needed fast help when something went wrong, not delayed ticket responses
• Managing multiple property types demanded clearer tools and easier navigation
• Reporting needed to be more intuitive and flexible
• Wanted a partner who listened and evolved—not a platform stuck in its ways

Ken is loyal to the companies he works with, but the ongoing support issues made staying impossible.

The Solution

Ken discovered DoorLoop after seeing an ad specifically targeting frustrated Buildium users—and it couldn’t have been better timed. After researching, trying the demo, and speaking with the team, the decision became clear.

DoorLoop not only replaced what wasn’t working—it improved nearly every part of his workflow with better design, stronger support, and a more customer-focused approach.

How DoorLoop helped:

• Instant access to support—live chat, phone calls, Zoom sessions
• A smooth, guided transition with his data moved over quickly and cleanly
• A fully organized People section for owners, vendors, and tenant accounts
• Robust reporting tools (P&L, AG reports, monthly summaries, and more)
• A customizable dashboard showing overdue rent, vacancies, work orders, and charts
• A team that consistently listens, improves, and rolls out new features
• Reliable software that handles every situation across diverse property types

For the first time in years, Ken felt he had a software partner—not just a vendor.

The Outcome

DoorLoop transformed Ken’s operations with clarity, responsiveness, and efficiency. What used to be frustrating and slow is now streamlined and dependable.

Results:

• Immediate answers whenever he needs support—no more 4-day ticket delays
• Faster, more confident decision-making through clear dashboards and reports
• Less stress managing rent, tasks, and property data
• Ability to customize his overview screen for quick daily insights
• A software that’s powerful yet friendly—even for those who aren’t tech-savvy
• A simple, intuitive system that works for a 20-unit portfolio with complex needs
• A renewed sense of trust—knowing DoorLoop evolves and improves constantly

As Ken puts it:
“We love the relationship we have with DoorLoop. The personnel are absolutely superior.”

DoorLoop didn’t just give him better software—it gave him a smoother, more reliable way to run his entire business.

The Problem

Primarily for enterprise portfolios

Before DoorLoop, Rebecca managed 130+ properties with pencil, paper, and spreadsheets. Tracking leases, rent payments, and expenses manually was disorganized and time-consuming.

Tax season stress

Preparing reports required hours of sorting bills, recreating spreadsheets, and reconciling data by hand.

Lack of organization

Managing such a large portfolio without dedicated software left her constantly worried about missing important details or losing track of tenant payments.
