From Legacy Tools to a Flexible System of Record

How Marketplace Homes Replaced Buildium and Propertyware with Revela to Power National Scale

The Problem: Legacy Systems That Couldn’t Keep Up

Marketplace Homes is a fully integrated real estate platform managing ~4,000+ single-family homes nationwide. Their model spans acquisition, renovation, management, and disposition—all under one roof.

To support that complexity, the team needed more than a standard PMS. Legacy systems like Buildium and Propertyware couldn’t keep up with their scale, customization needs, or data expectations.

“Nothing off the shelf was going to be perfect for us. There are just too many nuances.”

The Shift: From Fragmented Platforms to API-Driven Scale

Revela became Marketplace’s primary operating system not just because of accounting and workflow features, but because it offered something rare in property management software: true flexibility.

“The real differentiator was Revela’s open API. Every PMS says they have one. Most don’t. This one does.”

The team quickly connected Revela with Power BI for investor-grade dashboards and built custom integrations into their CRM and back-office systems—all without compromising operational visibility.

The Results: Accounting Accuracy, Operational Clarity, and Partnership

• Accurate, Flexible Accounting “Marketplace needed Yardi-level accounting accuracy without Yardi’s rigidity. “Yardi is great at accounting, but can’t handle complex ownership. Revela gives us both—accuracy and flexibility.”
  
• Open Infrastructure  With Revela’s API, Marketplace seamlessly integrated Power BI and Zoho to support institutional-grade reporting.
  “We integrated Power BI and Zoho with ease. That level of access is critical for us.”
  
  
• Operational Clarity  Maintenance was one of Marketplace’s biggest pain points. Revela streamlined vendor workflows, inspections, and reporting into one system.“Maintenance is the biggest drag in this business. Revela helps us streamline vendors, inspections, and reporting.”
  
  
• True Partnership Beyond software, Revela became a partner in growth.“When we flag something, the Revela team listens. We’ve helped each other build.”

Looking Ahead: From Property Management to Asset Strategy

Marketplace Homes doesn’t just manage properties—they act as long-term asset advisors. That means portfolio strategy, renovations, disposition timing, and more. Revela gives them the foundation and flexibility to operate that way.

“We think like asset managers. Revela gives us the tooling to support that—from the ground up.”
