For tenants and the institutional buyers who place them, every interaction with the marketplace is free. You search, you inquire, you arrange the lease with the landlord. There are no service fees, no platform commissions, no markups. The flat subscription model exists because we wanted the listing supply we could trust, and we wanted the demand side to have no friction with us standing between them and the housing they need.
Who we serve
The marketplace is built for several audiences in parallel.
For landlords with 1 to 5 units, we are the direct-to-tenant route alongside whatever institutional channels you already work with. You list. The listing is reviewed. You receive placement inquiries from verified tenants searching for the duration you have available.
For property managers with 5 to 50 units who service insurance and corporate placements, we are the searchable inventory layer underneath your existing workflow. You continue working your insurance and corporate placement channels. The marketplace adds a direct tenant route alongside them.
For medical housing professionals on 13-week to 12-month assignments, we are the platform that takes the friction out of finding a verified place to stay near your assignment hospital. You search by city and date. You inquire directly with the landlord. You finalize the lease without a booking fee.
For corporate transferees and HR mobility teams placing 60-to-180-day relocations, we are the marketplace that gives you single-source-of-truth inventory across markets. Speed, predictability, and vendor management efficiency, by design.
For institutional partners across insurance, government, restoration, and staffing agencies, we are the verified inventory layer underneath your placements. We do not replace your workflow. We make it searchable.
Where we serve, by region
Furnished Unfurnished is a national US marketplace. Coverage depth varies by city as we are early. Here is what is live at launch.
Sunbelt
Phoenix is our home base. Our operating team has its 43-unit footprint here, with depth across the Camelback Corridor and the East Valley. Summer demand spikes hard between June and September, when ALE displacement from monsoon storms collides with travel-nurse arrivals at Banner and HonorHealth. Tampa is our second-deepest market, anchored by federal placement work near MacDill and growing inventory near the Tampa General Hospital corridor. Hurricane season runs June through November, and mid-term inventory tightens in the weeks before landfall. Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta carry corporate-relo and medical demand on a steadier curve.
Northeast
New York, Boston, and Washington DC are the highest-demand Northeast markets. Boston''s Longwood medical area, anchored by Brigham and Women''s and Beth Israel Deaconess, draws 13-week travel-nurse placements year-round. New York mid-term inventory thinned hard after Local Law 18 took compliant short-term supply off the market; mid-term verified listings are an increasingly important fallback for relocation managers and credentialing teams. DC''s Foggy Bottom and Capitol Hill carry steady federal-contractor and locum-physician flow.
Pacific
San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Diego are live with growing inventory. The Bay Area''s cost differential against Sunbelt markets makes mid-term placements a way to pilot a relocation before a permanent move. Seattle''s Capitol Hill and South Lake Union neighborhoods carry tech-relo demand on 90-day windows. Los Angeles entertainment-industry production runs put mid-term housing in steady demand across West LA and the Valley.
Midwest
Iowa City sits inside our existing federal and ALE placement work; mid-term housing near University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has been an operating practice for us for years. Chicago carries corporate-relo and locum-physician volume across the medical districts and the Loop. Minneapolis and Indianapolis are growing.
If you are searching from Austin, Nashville, Portland, Denver, or any other top mid-term market not named above, you will find inventory. The supply expands week by week.
The team behind the marketplace
The operating team behind Furnished Unfurnished is Kwaku Akom and the team at Streamlined Stay Solutions. The marketplace is the expansion of an operating practice, not a tech product looking for users. 43 units operated. More than 4,000 families served. Active VA and BLM federal contracts. Government housing work in Iowa City, Connecticut, and Maine. The operating proof informs how the marketplace is built.
What happens next
Launch is Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern.
If you are a landlord with mid-term inventory, the way to act is to visit furnishedunfurnished.com/list and complete the subscription. Early landlords receive up to 12 months free on the monthly subscription. The launch offer decreases as the early-landlord tiers fill.
If you are a tenant searching for a mid-term stay, the way to act is to visit furnishedunfurnished.com and search by city, dates, bedrooms, and pet policy. Send a placement inquiry directly to the landlord. The lease and the payment happen between you and the landlord, off platform.
If you are an institutional partner placing tenants for insurance, corporate relocation, government, or staffing, the way to act is to visit furnishedunfurnished.com/partners or send a brief introduction to your placement work to partners@furnishedunfurnished.com. We will schedule a 15-minute conversation.
A note on what we are not
We are not a vacation rental platform. We are not a hotel chain pretending to be apartments. We are not a credit check and 12-month lease portal. We are not a lead-fee broker selling phone numbers to landlords. We do not take a percentage of your placement. We are not building toward an IPO. We are building a category that has been underserved for fifteen years.
Built for the month, not the night.
