Renting Furniture Helps Rent Your Property

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

A friend of ours forwarded us a great article recently published at RealtyTimes.com, titled “Landlords Move In Furniture to Help Rent Properties.” It seems that more and more landlords are realizing how attractive, quality furniture already in place can help make a home more appealing to potential renters. Some are even marketing their properties as furnished, which is a big plus for renters who don’t have their own furniture. Home staging is a great idea.

One of our favorite quotes from the article is this one: “If the furnishings are done in good taste and are gender-neutral, I think that when someone walks in they already feel like it’s a home versus just an empty shell.” This is a great point. If a person can see himself at home in a space they’re considering, they’re more likely to rent it or buy it.

Though the article focuses quite a bit on landlords who rent apartments furnished with their own extra furniture (this saves them the trouble of moving it or storing it), they mention the benefits of home staging: “We have showed our furnished properties to renters who have their own furniture and I think it just helps sell the space because … it’s staged.”

Consider Home Staging

Whether you’re trying to rent or sell your home, consider home staging. It’s easy and affordable, and it could pay off greatly if your property rents or sells much more quickly than if it were empty. Businesses like Executive Furniture Rentals make furniture rental for home staging a breeze. We’re proud to offer fantastic looking, quality furniture that will make your home sparkle. We have everything from bedroom sets to sofas to dining room tables and even home office furniture.

Stage That Office to Sell (or Lease)!

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Discover how Executive Furniture Rentals assists commercial real estate and property management companies to sell and rent properties quickly with office staging and home staging!

The present home staging phenomenon is so successful because it works. Fact: homes sell faster when staged.

Having completed the worst property market in a decade (2009), the need for commercial staging becomes a very useful marketing option. By enhancing the office space, prospective tenants can visualize how the space can work for their corporate needs.

Renting office furniture for private offices, reception or even workstation bullpens can easily be achieved on a temporary basis. As a side benefit, property managers can use the staged interiors as “Ready Offices” that can be rented with the property. Furthermore, custom requirements can be achieved within very short notice.

Commercial staging is truly an opportunity for designers, property managers, real estate and furniture rental companies to partner their expertise as they have done so successfully with the residential market.

Call me: (416) 785-0932. I would enjoy the opportunity to help plan your new marketing strategy!

Rent Event Furniture in a Snap

Toronto Condo Rentals Up 12 Percent

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

As the old Jerry Reed song goes, “When you’re hot, you’re hot. When you’re not, you’re not!” Which one are you?

From September to December 2009, the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) reported a 12% increase (from 2008) of condominium apartment rentals with the average rent being $1667 per month. (The current building boom in Toronto will add some 15,000 condo units with an obvious percentage being available for rent, by investors.)

This truly has an impact on the temporary corporate relocation, real estate and home staging industries: More properties for relocated employees to choose from; more sales/leases for agents ;and more units for home stagers to assist marketing.

Just think about it. If a company adds furniture rental (say, with bedding, kitchen, bath, etc.) to a modern unfurnished condominium, then add cable, high-speed Internet and phone, say for 6 to 12 months….that company will save from 25% to 35% compared to a pre-furnished condo. Do the math: It all adds up!

We are in a hot market. We all should be taking advantage of Toronto’s unique real estate boom. Call me. I would love to discuss how we can create opportunities for you. Contact Executive Furniture Rentals at (416) 785-0932, or contact us online. We’re your source for used furniture in Toronto and rental furniture.

In need of used furniture? Toronto store Executive Furniture Rentals is where you’ll find what you need to furnish your home or office.  Used furniture can be an economical way to transform an empty space, as it’s typically sold gently-used.

Used Furniture is a Toronto Secret

Whether you’re furnishing your home or office, used furniture may be a solid choice. Bargain hunters have long known about the incredible deals you can get on used furniture in Toronto.

Many  sofas, bedroom sets, dining room sets, desks and other used furniture may have only been used for a temporary relocation situation of a few months.

But Executive Furniture Rentals has an amazing selection of clean, gently used furniture that will complement your home or office instead of making it look outdated. It’s possible to furnish your entire home or office when you come to our store — our used furniture selection is expansive.
