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.

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!

Used Office Furniture: A Great Option

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Used office furniture, when bought for the right reasons, can be a wise decision for the bottom-line and prove to be environmentally a sustainable initiative.

Used Office FurnitureThe misconception about purchasing used office furniture, pre-rented or pre-owned, is the belief one will find exactly what they are looking for. Yes- there are deals to be made but knowing the right source(s) and I mean legitimate and honest sources, is the key. Getting guidance from a professional will avoid your company from ending up with a “quilt” décor or your home office with a non-ergonomic furniture dating from the 60’s.

The interesting shift in today’s used office furniture market is the inexpensive importation of office furniture from Asia. Think of it, is it better to buy used or new for the same price? To me, quality of the product is very important, especially if electrics are involved but on the other hand warranty issues must be considered. If it is used, will your dealer guarantee the product if it is used, and for how long? Another important factor is how accessible or readily available is the furniture if your company should need to add on due to expansion. These are just things that should be considered from the onset.

Great sources of used office furniture are furniture rental companies, office furniture re-sellers, reputable furniture contract companies with warehouse operations and auction houses.

Getting Used Office Furniture

If you require used office furniture and need assistance or guidance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be very glad to give you an objective assessment of your needs and lead you towards the best path.

If you wish to save money by acquiring used office furniture, my best advice is to research your options and give yourself time to do so. Rushing will only prove to be self defeating. If you need the furniture immediately, you can always consider office furniture rental as an interim solution!
