I have been nothing short of impressed by Belong and Erica our coordinator thus far. They have been very resourceful and thoroughly professional. They helped us end to end from prepping to rent out, to finding awesome tenants to maintaining our property in the Bay Area. Their response has been prompt for any questions I have as well as our tenants may have. Belong FTW :)

We’ve had a great experience with Belong managing our property. They were there and helping from the very beginning, even when the house was broken into in the first few weeks after the tenant moved in.

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.

Finally. I’ve gone through too many property managers to finally get to Belong. I don’t think it’s that tough to be professional in this line of work but my experience told me otherwise. Belong did a great job finding a tenant, and taking care of my home overall. I’m a big fan and look forward to giving them my next house to manage if I continue to buy in the Bay Area.

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