Migrate your Realpage data
Property management ERP for multifamily and commercial operators with integrated leasing, accounting, and resident services. Teams migrate away from it citing support speed and pricing opacity; teams migrate toward it for portfolio-wide operational consistency.
In its favor
Why people choose Realpage
The signal that keeps Realpage on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one consolidation of leasing, accounting, and resident management under a single vendor reduces the need to maintain multiple disconnected systems across a portfolio.
Integrated accounting features natively tie GL entries to lease events, so property accountants do not need to reconcile between separate platforms for routine closes.
Scalable across large portfolios—used to manage 24 million housing units—making it viable for operators with hundreds or thousands of units.
AI leasing agents and multilingual tools reflect recent investment in automation, appealing to operators seeking to reduce manual leasing overhead.
Benchmarking and revenue management analytics provide market context that helps operators set rents against real-time comparables.
Slow customer support response times frustrate teams managing urgent issues like failed payment batches or posting errors that block month-end closes.
Navigation friction and unintuitive menu layouts slow onboarding for new staff, especially in property manager and leasing agent roles.
High total cost of ownership including extra fees for basic functions like data downloads creates sticker shock at renewal.
Communication gaps between RealPage product modules force teams to re-enter data in multiple places, reducing the promised all-in-one value.
Antitrust scrutiny and legal exposure around algorithmic pricing have made some operators reconsider their vendor relationship.

What gets migrated
Realpage object support
Object-by-object support for Realpage migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Units (Properties)
Fully supportedUnits are the core inventory object in RealPage. Each unit carries lease status, market rent, and amenities. We migrate units 1:1 with standard fields intact; any property-level custom fields are mapped as supplemental columns in the export.
Residents
Fully supportedResidents are tied to active leases and carry contact details, payment history, and balance. We map resident records including lease association and outstanding balance into the destination as standard contact or tenant objects.
Leases
Fully supportedLeases include start/end dates, rent amounts, security deposits, and associated tenants. We migrate lease records with their fiscal terms intact; lease document attachments are preserved as binary blobs alongside the record.
Work Orders
Mapping requiredWork orders track maintenance requests tied to units and residents. The field schema varies between OneSite and Propertyware editions. We map to the destination maintenance/ticket object and flag any custom status values that require enumeration mapping.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendor records include contact info and AP account labels. RealPage's vendor structure uses a flat list with role-based account access restrictions. We map vendors and their associated AP labels but flag any vendor records restricted by user role that may not appear in a standard export.
GL Transactions
Mapping requiredGeneral Ledger entries are exported via the GL Detail report. RealPage's export formatting includes subtotal rows and headers that must be stripped. We clean and normalize line items, preserving account codes, amounts, and posting dates for fiscal continuity.
CAM Reconciliation
Mapping requiredCommercial operating expense recovery reports require three exports (Recovery Reconciliation, GL Detail, Rent Roll) combined and cleaned. The exact navigation paths vary by RealPage version and license tier, so we confirm access during scoping.
Utility Billing Allocations
Mapping requiredUtility billing uses submeter data or ratio allocations per unit. We migrate allocation percentages and billing history but flag any submeter readings that require integration with the destination's utility tracking module.
Screening Records
Mapping requiredResident screening data from LeasingDesk is held as a separate consumer report. We migrate screening metadata (applicant name, result, date) but do not transfer the underlying credit/tenant history file, which must be re-pulled from the screener directly.
Marketing Leads
Mapping requiredKnock CRM leads and prospect records sit in the leasing module. We extract lead records with source attribution and lifecycle stage, mapping them to the destination CRM's equivalent lead or contact object.
Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments—lease agreements, notices, inspection photos—are stored per unit or resident. We migrate attachment references and binary files, but large document repositories may require a separate file transfer step beyond the standard record export.
