Noseberry Digitals
Platform development

Past 200 doors? Stop paying AppFolio's per-door rent. Own the platform.

Replace AppFolio / Buildium per-door fees with a custom platform: leasing → tenant portal → owner reporting → maintenance dispatch. Keep your accounting / dispatch SaaS if it's working. We replace the customer-facing surface that actually moves NOI. Typically 8–18 weeks.

Migrating mid-market PM operators off AppFolio + Buildium without losing a tenant record. Year-2 SaaS savings typically pay back the build.

Who needs this

Built for these operators

  • Multi-family operators

    200–10,000-unit portfolios past the AppFolio per-door tipping point.

  • SFR aggregators

    Single-family rental aggregators across multiple metros.

  • CRE managers

    Office, retail, industrial property management with tenant portals.

  • Boutique PM firms

    200–800-unit operators graduating from spreadsheets + Buildium.

  • Owner-operator hybrids

    Operators with their own + third-party-managed portfolios.

Honest fit

Who this is NOT for

  • Operators under 100 doors. Buildium / DoorLoop will be cheaper for you. We'll happily recommend the right one.
  • Teams that want to fully replace their PMS accounting. We don't replace Yardi accounting; we replace the customer-facing + leasing layer that's painful in the SaaS UX.
  • Anyone planning to sell the management business in 12 months. Owning code only pays back in year 2+.
Where are you in your journey?

Why most teams fail

The traps that tank a custom build

  • Custom builds drift

    Without weekly checkpoints scope creep tanks the launch date and the budget.

  • Schema goes stale

    AEO-eligible markup needs to be regenerated continuously, not hand-edited once.

  • PMS / CRM / web silo

    Three tools run separately and reconciling spreadsheets costs more than the build.

  • No cost guardrails

    Per-tenant + per-feature cost is invisible until the bill arrives.

  • Compliance afterthought

    GDPR, RERA, MLS, KYC bolted on at the end is 5× the cost of building it in.

Migration path

Coming from a SaaS you've outgrown?

Migrating off per-door SaaS is one of our most-requested engagements. We've done it cleanly, with URLs preserved + tenant data ported.

  • Migrated from

    AppFolio

    Customer-facing surface migrated; AppFolio kept for accounting only.

  • Migrated from

    Buildium

    Full platform migration including tenant data + maintenance history.

  • Migrated from

    Yardi Breeze

    2 engagements

    Tenant + owner portals replaced; Yardi Voyager retained for accounting at enterprise scale.

  • Migrated from

    RentManager + spreadsheet stack

    Boutique 800-door operator replaced 7 disconnected tools with one Noseberry platform.

What we build

The full stack, end-to-end

  • Tenant portal + app

    Payments, maintenance, communication, amenity bookings. Branded to YOUR operator, not generic SaaS UX.

  • Owner dashboard

    Per-asset financials, vacancy, work-order spend, NOI. The view your investors actually want.

  • Leasing automation

    Application → screening → e-sig → deposit → move-in. End-to-end, no SaaS handoffs.

  • Maintenance workflows

    Vendor dispatch, SLA tracking, completion verification. Webhooks to your existing dispatch SaaS if you want to keep it.

  • Retention CRM

    Lease-renewal nudges, satisfaction surveys, win-back drips. Tied to renewal economics.

  • Discovery website

    SEO + AEO-tuned property listings funnel. Owns the long-tail city + neighborhood searches.

5-year TCO

What AppFolio actually costs you over 5 years

AppFolio's per-door fees scale with your portfolio. A custom platform doesn't.

DoorsAppFolio, 5 yrNoseberry, one-timeYou save
200$18K$35K—
1,000$90K$80K$10K
5,000$450K$200K$250K
10,000$900K$300K$600K

5-yr SaaS cost = published per-unit per-month list price × 60 months × units. Real-world fees often higher once transaction percentages + add-ons are included. Noseberry build = scoped one-time fee with optional 12-mo support retainer (~15% of build). Talk to us for a per-vertical quote.
