Office Furniture in Toronto and Beyond

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

For over 50 years, Executive Furniture Rentals has provided office furniture in Toronto under customizable lease agreements for the ultimate convenience and cost-efficiency. We are proud to have expanded into a customer service company with a dynamic inventory of the best office furniture in Toronto. Beyond our fantastic choices for the office, home and special event furnishing, we guarantee delivery and installation by our experienced crew on your terms.

In 2003, we were asked to join the CORT Global Furniture Rental Network as the official Canadian service provider for CORT Furniture.  The Global Furniture Rental Network is a convenient one-stop shop that connects customers with quality office furniture rental services in various destinations worldwide.It makes even the bulkiest transitions, such as an employer relocating multiple employees and their families, as smooth as possible.

One  central point of contact coordinates each customer’s furniture rental needs globally. Our own reach now extends to accommodate relocating individuals and corporations nationwide and in 50 countries. Executive Furniture Rentals generally supplies the southern Ontario corridor, including Windsor, London, Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal. We are also able to coordinate short or long-term rentals in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Halifax.

Furniture rental is commonly viewed as a very temporary solution, but our long-term leasing program makes sense for acquiring high-quality office furniture in Toronto and beyond. Our pricing rates are based on the length of your rental and the value of each furniture piece. The longer your leasing period, the smaller your rental payments. If you choose to renew a lease, the items will be discounted and pro-rated accordingly.

More and more companies are seeing the value in renting office furniture in Toronto, as many office furniture staples depreciate in value over time. By appropriating your rental payments as an operational cost, you free up capital to invest in other areas of your business that will encourage growth. Our leasing program allows for 100% financing on office furniture in Toronto, so there is no down payment and no need to prepay federal and provincial taxes.

Home Staging: What You Might Not Know

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

If you’ve read this blog with any regularity, you’ll know that we’re big proponents of supporting home staging in Toronto and the surrounding area.  There’s a simple reason for that:
We’ve seen it work time and again.

Home staging refers to the process of temporarily and strategically furnishing a space when showing it for resale.  The goal is to accentuate the positive features of a space, as well as to illustrate the possibilities of the layout of a particular home or office.  Home staging, when done well, can transform any space from an interchangeable, empty room into an inviting, welcoming area.  What’s more, it doesn’t interfere with any moving schedule you might have.  You can pack up whatever furniture and decor you’re planning on taking without worrying about showing an empty place to prospective buyers if you’re planning on staging your property.

Home staging might sound like a very straightforward process in which someone simply rents furniture and sticks it in an empty space.  It might come as a surprise, then, to know that home staging is actually a rather delicate and complex process.  Balances need to be struck.  Too little furniture, and a space looks awkwardly empty.  Too much, and it looks cluttered.  The best home stagers put a significant amount of effort into their work, almost as though they were decorating their own home, and their results reflect that commitment.  We are pleased to provide you with recommendations for a number of home stagers in the Toronto area upon request.

We bring the same dedication to excellent service to this new and burgeoning field as we do with our many other endeavors, which include renting home and office furniture in Toronto.  After all, as the premier destination for furniture for hire in this fine city, we have a reputation to hold up.  Contact us today to learn more about our wide range of services.

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.

Start Off the New Year with New Furniture

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Happy New Year, Toronto! Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? It seems the most common ones involve self-improvement — exercising more, eating healthier, etc. — and we think new furniture falls into that category. How would a new sofa help me improve myself? you might be wondering. Well, by improving the look of your home or office, you can make your space more efficient and appealing, thereby increasing your happiness. If you have a comfortable place to relax and sleep, and a comfortable place to work, that’s definitely a life improvement.

Now, we’re not saying that you have to throw everything in your home or office away and go shopping for new stuff. In many situations, furniture just might need to be repaired, cleaned and/or rearranged to improve a space and make it more appealing or functional. But if you’re in need of a lot of furniture either short- or long-term, there’s an affordable option worth considering: furniture for hire.

If you’re trying to sell your home this year, rental furniture is perfect for home staging. Perhaps the best and fastest way to make your home appealing to potential buyers, home staging really does work. Many people may not be willing to trying home staging to sell their home because they do not want to spend the money buying new furniture. But buying new furniture isn’t necessary—rental furniture is ideal, especially because it will be in the home for a limited amount of time. Plus, when the home sells, the rental furniture company will come and move the furniture out for you. No worrying about selling it or hiring movers. With rental furniture, home staging is so easy and affordable.

Even if you’re not selling your home, rental furniture can be a good bet for your situation. Imagine transforming your living room, bedroom and dining room in a matter of days with quality, gorgeous furniture. It’s possible with Executive Furniture Rentals. Contact us to find out more.

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Relocating Employees? A Secret to Save Money

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Here’s a little-known secret: Companies that temporarily relocate their employees for assignment in Canada have an option that can be a cost savings of large proportion. This alternative is the hiring of a full-service furniture for hire company.

Statistically, the United States engages in the services of furniture rental by more than 80% globally than any other country. However, Canadian corporations, relocation companies, and government ministries are beginning to see substantial savings in comparison to furnished corporate housing providers. Savings that can amount in excess of 40% for temporary assignments of 12 months or more.

Executive Furniture Rentals takes temporary furnished apartments and furnished houses in Canada one step further. Not only will Executive Furniture Rentals supply home rental furniture for the bedroom, living room and dining room, they will provide the bed linens and kitchen supplies, as well – all on a temporary basis to create a complete corporate home.

Now when comparing furniture rental with corporate housing, traditionally, companies often lean towards the convenience of having all services on one bill. Executive Furniture Rentals’ custom corporate housing division will provide utility services, cable, high-speed internet, phone and cleaning services, all under one bill. Companies only have to pay the lease of the apartment, house or condominium and pay Executive Furniture Rentals separately. Just two bills, yet, what a savings!

Let’s provide an example. A well known condo building in downtown Toronto presently has a reputable corporate housing provider, renting a one bedroom furnished suite for $3,800 per month. This includes all amenities i.e. parking, cleaning services etc. In the same building, a client of Executive Furniture Rentals is paying $1,650 per month for a 12 month lease and $1,150 per month for furniture, bedroom supplies, kitchen supplies, cable, high-speed internet, phone, cleaning services, tax etc. The savings, in comparison to the aforementioned housing provider is $1000 per month or $12,000 per year!! That is a 26.3% savings- in downtown Toronto. When companies use Executive Furniture Rentals – they save!

Please don’t take me wrong. I truly have respect for reputable corporate housing providers in Canada. They perform an excellent service, especially for short term needs of 90 days or less. In fact, Executive Furniture Rentals supports many of the major corporate housing providers’ furniture rental needs and are always willing to be creative to serve their objectives. My point is simply there are options for corporations to save money especially for reduced budgets. I invite you to contact me to find out more how furniture rental can save you money. P.S.- Have a wonderful holiday season!!

Furniture Rental World Wide

Monday, November 30th, 2009

With the tap of your finger, the world seems so much smaller, yet, it has become better than ever, with immeasurable goods and services presented on your private screen. Quite amazing! This certainly is the case with furniture rental. All major furniture rental companies have web sites which you can learn, understand and even order online. The question is, even though a company’s first impression may be amazing, even though a company may have the highest Google ranking, does that make the service and the quality of the furniture better and dare I say, reliable? No, but there is an alternative way to measure a furniture rental company’s credibility.

One way that I am very proud of, is to be a member of the Cort Global Furniture Rental Network. The network is a group of 30 plus countries in the world that provide furniture rental with the capability of having a central reservation office to assist with the prompt and professional process of acquiring quality home and office furniture rental, anywhere in the world. This is an incredible advantage for global relocation companies and international corporations. Every member furniture rental company has been thoroughly screened by Cort Furniture Rental, a Berkshire-Hathaway company, to ensure that the highest standard of service and ethics is met. When a company uses a Cort Global member, they have chosen a company with the highest degree of references. Why do more relocation companies use Cort Global Furniture Rental Network members than any other furniture rental companies in the world? The answer: because they are better.

If you require furniture rental in another country, please click onto the “Globe” logo of the Executive Furniture Rentals website located on the homepage. That will get you started. Choose your destination country and you’ll be in touch with one of our operators within 24 hours. Furniture for hire or rental in the Global Village has never been so easy!
