EstateOS vs PropertyMe
PM-focused: trust accounting, ledger, compliance
TL;DR
PropertyMe is the PM ledger incumbent with per-property pricing and native trust writes. EstateOS suits agencies adding sales CRM, AI-assisted workflows with human review, and modern portals — with a honest v1 read-only trust bridge and a PM-R1 path to native ledger.

Decision guide
When each option fits
Choose PropertyMe if…
- You are PM-only with hundreds of properties and need native trust writes today.
- Per-property pricing is working and you have no sales desk to consolidate.
- Your team is satisfied with PropertyMe tenant and tradie UX as-is.
- You do not need Section 32, vendor portals, or sales AI workflows.
Choose EstateOS if…
- Sales and PM should live in one database with shared contacts and properties.
- Maintenance triage, landlord reports, and inspection drafts need AI — with PM approval before send.
- You want tenant and tradie portals at WCAG 2.2 AA without a separate sales CRM.
- You are ready for a phased migration off PropertyMe trust writes via the PM-R1 program.

AI comparison
Drafts your team approves — not auto-send
PropertyMe
PropertyMe does not ship native AI assist for maintenance, inspections, or landlord reporting as of mid-2026.
EstateOS
Maintenance triage, inspection report drafts, landlord EOFY packs, and bond dispute drafting are AI-assisted — PM or agent approves before anything reaches tenants, landlords, or tradies.
Human-in-the-loop
Dispatch, portal updates, and outbound comms require logged human approval. AI classifies and drafts; your PM sends. Unreviewed AI content never surfaces on client-facing endpoints.

FAQ
Common questions about switching from PropertyMe
Honest answers about pricing, migration, AI review, and what EstateOS includes today.
- Does EstateOS include trust accounting on day one?
- v1 includes read-only trust sync from PropertyMe or Console Cloud for reporting during migration. Native EstateOS trust ledger writes are on the PropertyMe replacement (PM-R1) track — we do not claim full trust replacement until that program is live for your agency.
- Is EstateOS only for agencies that also do sales?
- EstateOS shines when sales and PM share one database, but PM-only agencies migrate for inspections, maintenance triage, landlord reports, and modern tenant portals.
- How long does a PropertyMe migration take?
- Most PM-focused agencies cut over in two to four weeks with portfolio CSV, opening balances, and optional read-only bridge for at most one rent cycle.
- Does EstateOS auto-dispatch tradies from maintenance AI?
- No. AI classifies urgency and drafts comms; your property manager approves before a verified tradie is contacted or trust money moves.
