I am so glad I moved from my old property manager to Belong. Belong's guaranteed rent is my favorite since I don't have to worry about rent collection.

Our Belong partner, Brittany, has made our move an absolute breeze: Communicating regularly, crushing repairs/logistics, and making sure everything has been perfect for us as we make our new home over in San Francisco.

Belong has been really great to work with. Sure there has been some back and forth and time I wasn’t really sure what the next steps were, but I think it come with the territory. They always return our calls and messages. Very courteous on the phone and I feel like they really CARE about people. Unlike Some other predatory leasers/property management.

The Belong rep contacted me immediately: friendly, professional. However, I’d already decided to manage my property myself. The Belong rep behaved perfectly: thanked me for considering them and offered to help should I come to need their services. No hard sell, just good business. I’ll certainly contact them if I need property management.

The short answer is no, all Belong Homes come unfurnished. And we don't recommend trying to do that on your own either!
