The Belong staff are very friendly, attentive, and helpful. My roommates and I orginally had pretty severe technical difficulties when trying to apply. The support staff responded with a friendly attitude, and refunded our application fee to make up for the trouble.

It must have been after 10p on a Sunday night I was looking at properties for rent. I noticed one and tried to get more information on it but none was available. I thought nothing of it and started doing something else and nothing I an email notification. It's was Belong letting me know the place I was looking at wasn't available. I must say that made me so happy to hear back from them so quickly! I've already mentioned Belong to a few co-workers. Thank you Belong for bringing true customer service back.

The guys at Belong are absolute top of the line professionals. They worked with our family on every detail related to renting our home and they all have way more experience in the business than the competition. Their home inspector Milan has worked in construction since he was a kid with his uncle, and it showed. Highly recommend

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