Furnished Finder Reviews

The biggest issue I have with FurnishedFinder is that it seems like it is designed for lower priced markets and does not fit with higher priced markets. The max budget range you can select is $3200+. In our market there is no such thing as a house that is anywhere close to $3200 per month. On the low end they are $6000 and go up to $12k for standard houses. Beach houses can be $50k a month. The fact that this company expects you to email every single housing request to find out what someone's actual budget range is seems ridiculous. How about you just add price ranges or change your function to allow someone to put in their actual budget amount. Someone that has a budget of $4,000 is listed at $3200+ and in an area that starts at $6000 means a lot of landlords will need to waste their time to find out that this person's budget is nowhere close to what they have to offer.

Also this site doesn't he seats a lot of leads for us. We also use airbnb monthly stays and 100% of our bookings come from airbnb and we have not gotten a single tenant from FF in the 15 months we have been listed on the site. Not sure if FF users are just looking for lower priced rentals or if airbnb is just that much better in the monthly rental game. Either way we will not be renewing our membership if FF doesn't fix this issues and we continue to not generate leads from the site.

There are a few things FurnishedFinder could improve on, for instance if you favorite a property and it gets removed by the landlord afterwards there is no way to remove the listing from your favorites even though it is blank. Also, if you switch to the map view to view properties and try to expand your search grid FurnishedFinder will not do this. You can do this online through their website.
My biggest disappointment is that the landlords are not required by this FF service to respond to messages or keep their calendars up-to-date. I have a dozen requests to book messages that never even get opened, and then some where the landlord writes back to state they are booked until the following year even though their calendar shows them as available.
I have been successful once in booking a property through FurnishedFinder while working remotely for a year now. And it was a wonderful experience. However I am unable to find consistent housing through FF. Several times now I have gone back to using AirBNB and VRBO because of the lack of response on my listing requests and messages through FF.

We listed our Property on January 3rd and within minutes had our first inquiry. By January 4th we had the tenant visit the property, screened through “Keycheck”, generated a lease through the connected app, lease signed and the first months rent and deposit in our account on the 5th with the most “adorable” couple of traveling healthcare professionals we could imagine. We wish they could stay forever! 5 stars so far. The only reason for the four stars is The system for notification regarding the next tenants is kind of wonky due to the fact that we receive requests for time frames inside of the current rental period. Some tenants notify no pets in the inquiry, but say they are traveling with pets in the narrative. Some potential tenants are turned off about the background checks, however if you get a copy of their hospital contract, they have generally been screened and drug tested by the employing hospital and the contract dates are generally on it, so that helps. Nothing substitutes for an old fashioned conversation, social media search, linked in search, and licensing check with the state of California. Highly recommend this company!

The nurses I get from Furnished Finders are great! They are CLEAN, know their needs, and mostly pay on time.
Some people don't even register with FF and just send you a private message. Many are just thinking about it and may not be interested. Or, they may say they want it even after a background check, but then when they change their mind they don't let you know.' Some send me messages and I try to respond right away, but they don't let you know that they are not interested. Some ask me questions that are answered on the FF website. Many want a discount even $300 or more less. It takes a lot of time to find a good tenant and when they only stay 3 months, it is becoming a waste of time. I cancel 1-2 vacations per year for indecisive prospective tenants and am thinking of canceling my membership just before it expires.
People should register on your website and not have access to me independently. You should also advise good tenant behavior including not taking furnishings with them when they leave. Maybe have a short video to watch before using the website. And, stress professional communication as I don't need to be insulted as I was recently when someone wanted a month-to-month and my description says 3 months or more.

I’ve been successful at bringing in “cream of the crop” “5star” tenants for almost a year now. I only give FF a 4.5 star because of the frustrations to set up the original site and the length of time on hold to talk to the representatives. They are patient and effective at helping! I’m an old “non-tech” lady. It was hard to place my ad initially. But now it’s easy to turn on and off. Only cost me $130 start up costs/ year .…Mahalo to Furnished Finders! This has opened a whole new world for us. We have been able to get connected with the high quality, respectful, responsible, professional and retired tenants. Furnished Finders emails & texts me anytime there is a lead; matched, unmatched, or direct booking inquiries. I have been able to respond quickly to tenants that give me a direct inquiry. Also, having the responsibility of being a landlord, I have made sure that I respond to all direct inquiries… and confirming availabilities. Whether you’re a renter or a landlord, this is a win-win situation. Many mahalos for this great connection. We have more enjoyment being the host to the best!

I appreciate Furnish Finders because their are real people looking to rent out their place on this site. Some issues it’s not regulated or capped as to how much people can ask for when it comes to deposits for a room rental. I do not feel that you should have to come in with thousands of dollars just to rent a room out. Even hotels don’t do that. Some landlords abuse that option. Also, landlords should be required to remove their ad if the room is rented, otherwise it makes it confusing as to what inventory is actually available now vs a later date or not at all available. As for FurnishedFinder it needs to be supported better. When you open a page to look at a listing it opens a new window and before you know it you have multiple windows open you can not click a back button. Some of the side boxes that open (places in the map) get partially hidden behind another part of the web page and you can not see the full popup. The calendar is glitchy you have to poison the calendar in a certain spot to view the whole calendar page. That is annoying. So yea, past the clunky experience it is a great way to find (sooner or later) a safe place to stay while you work.

A fairly decent bulletin board for finding housing. I wish it had an option to dismiss listings when I look at them and determine they won’t work for me, so I don’t keep looking at the same ones! Also, sometimes it shows dates waaaaaay in the future…like a year out. Which is not helpful when I’m trying to find housing for a quickly approaching contract. I have had better luck with owners replying than I did a year ago, though it’s still not even 90%. And since owners can list on multiple sites, I have recently been in the position of almost completing a housing request only to find out that the property was booked a couple of weeks in the middle of my contract. I love that it shows location and I can figure travel time to assignments, though. Some very helpful features.
It never shows my housing requests, though, and I almost never see reviews listed for properties. I was able to get a place using this site, but it doesn’t show up either. Which means that I am not being reviewed, so potential owners cannot see any references for me.

Helpful in finding people, and the ability to see if they are a good fit through key check. I have been able to make sure I didn’t rent to people that were already in financial duress. So the background check is fabulous! Over all it’s a great tool. I do wish it was easier to navigate FurnishedFinder and website to find how to edit and view your listings. And I do wish you could see any or all inquiries that are put in. I receive emails weekly saying how many people are putting in inquiries, and now that my listing is up and running we have had 3 in 3 weeks. That’s not the 20-40+ the email was saying. So the marketing seems a little dishonest. But it still is a wonderful way to get connected. And I realize they were just trying to play on my anxiousness to get my listing up. Which is a marketing strategy, but sadly, still dishonest if there really isn’t that make people. And if there is, like I shared before, we should be able to see all the inquiries. Not just be limited to what they send us. Over all it’s a great app. I wouldn’t be able to find good tenants without it. Just had to be honest about the things I think they should change soon.

I wanted to rent by the month and that’s what you find in Furnished Finder. I have now found two different places to stay. The price is much cheaper than Airbnb, there are no fees except the ones imposed by the owner of the property such as a deposit and a cleaning fee, and a fee for having your dog with you. The only drawback is that when I put in a town outside of Kansas City, the results include a lot of properties in Kansas City, which I do not want. So I have to open information about the property and scroll down to find the map & open the map & see where the property really is. That’s a lot of work. That may be the fault of the owner listing the property. Anyway, the only drawback is how much work it is to find a rental exactly where you would like it. Although, there is a map and it will show dots where the different properties are and you can click on the dot and a small pop-up will show the first photo of the property & about 3 facts. I am very particular about the property I want to rent, so it was a tremendous amount of effort to find a place. Overall, though, I am very pleased with FurnishedFinder because I found two great places to rent at a lower price than Airbnb.

Oh I like Furnished Finder very much. Only $99, I find it to be exceptionally worth it. I tried renting it to area residence but I got exhausted with the haggling they insisted on. I haven’t had that problem with Furnished Finder. Professionals understand that if a product is top-notch, like minors, they’re willing to pay. I always do my research to see what the hospital stipend is for any professional coming in from a different part of the country. and I have no problem tailoring that to the rent. In return? They Will be invited to stay in a home that is absolutely perfect, super clean and professionally run. I’m a hands-off landlord which is preferred by professionals.
The only complaint I have is that trying to get reviews from former tenants is challenging with Furnished Finder. I have contacted my previous tenants on numerous occasions, at their request. They were actually anxious to leave a five star review but the review they send , i’m told, pass to go back to Furnished Finder for their approval first. If that’s the case, that’s a flaw.
My suggestion? Absolutely try Furnished Finder. You will be met with professionals who will treat your property the way it should be treated.
I’m also pretty sure the $99 can be written off on your taxes.

I’m so grateful I stumbled upon this cozy little property. I can’t emphasize enough how beautiful this apartment is. It’s a new addition to Greg and Jen’s home and has only had 2 renters including myself stay here. It is well kept, modern and has everything you need, including a garage! There is so much space and all of the furniture is actually comfortable. The location is great about 10-15 min from Mayo Clinic. And I will say my favorite part is the land this property is on. It is tucked away with only 2 other houses. You get the feel of living in the country or somewhat secluded but drive less than 5 minutes and you are right back to the city of Rochester. On top of the place being perfect, Greg and Jen are so great to work with. They want their renters to feel at home. They are easy going people who respect your privacy, but also happy to sit and have a conversation with you or even borrow a cup of sugar. If I ever find myself staying in Rochester again they will be my first call.

As a property owner, Furnished Finder has been a game-changer for connecting me with reliable, responsible tenants, especially traveling professionals like nurses and corporate travelers. The platform makes it incredibly easy to list my furnished property and reach the exact audience I'm looking for without dealing with high fees or complicated processes.

One of the best features is the tenant screening tools, which give me peace of mind knowing that potential renters are qualified and trustworthy. I also appreciate the direct communication with tenants—no middlemen or third-party management companies, which helps keep the process smooth and personal.

FurnishedFinder is intuitive and user-friendly, making it simple to update listings, set availability, and manage inquiries. Since using Furnished Finder, I’ve had minimal vacancy and found that my properties are getting the exposure they deserve. It's been a win-win for both me as a landlord and the tenants. Highly recommended for any property owner looking to rent to a specialized, trustworthy market!

I had the good fortune to call this home on Minnie Street home for 6 months. It was just perfect, tucked away just off the beaten path. The commute to MUSC was about 10 minutes every morning. It was easy to get onto Saint Andrews because it has its own traffic light. The neighborhood is quite, and I felt welcomed and safe. The home has its own Simply Safe alarm and and a gated front yard that you can park in the driveway and shut the gate. The home is updated with all of the amenities, washer and dryer. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need or want. The bedroom with its very comfy king and bath is well appointed. The bathroom has a huge walk in shower, delightful!! The living space is comfortable and as a bonus there is a screened in porch with a swing and small table to have a meal or coffee.
D and A are the best landlords, they take great pride in this home and it shows. The yard always looks professionally done and if I needed anything they were quick to help. These people have become very special to me and if your lucky enough to lease here you will be very happy and not want to leave!!!

I love it is as simple as you want it to be to rent your furnished space. Conversely, Furnished Finder is linked to very many services to provide a comprehensive landlord experience. I have been able to stay consistently booked since putting my space in the market nearly a year ago, sans 2 weeks due to a natural disaster. Being able to run background checks, credit, & rental history through Keycheck, accepting payments through Keycheck if my tenants don’t use Zelle, tracking tenants occupancy dates & info, and so much more makes it convenient, but also, it isn’t required. It is the best & most flexible option I could fathom having. Their support is also top notch, with assistance to get support a landlord 360 degrees. What else could you possibly want or need from a listing service? Also having one fee per year & no booking charges means it is so simple to track your “management” expenses, I almost feel like I am taking advantage of them. How often does that happen in this profit-driven society? A++ rating from me!

I stayed at Manny’s daylight basement studio for 6 months while on a travel contract and it felt like HOME. Manny is simply wonderful. He was warm, kind, generous and always available to help with anything I needed. The space is perfect for a single person or couple. More storage space that you need. It has a full kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, glass top electric stove with oven. Fully stocked with pots, pans, glass and dish ware. There is also a filtered water pitcher. Plenty of counter space and smart lighting throughout. Lots of consideration was placed in the design layout (he even put vent covers in place so the air is not blowing directly on you as you sleep 😊) Internet was fast and Roku Tv had all the channels I enjoyed. The bathroom is a bit on the smaller size but it worked fine for me. I enjoyed the “courtyard” outside my private entry. Manny recommended me using the front entrance of the home during the winter months for safety, and that was great. I absolutely recommend this property and would return to stay if ever I am back in the DMV. Thank you Manny!!! Please give my regards to our “house family” 🙏🏾

I have found a great place to stay through FurnishedFinder.
The only complaint I have is that one of the hosts very creepily tried hitting on me through the messages in FurnishedFinder when he tried offering his place as his roommate. I wasn’t comfortable with the exchange. I’d had many great interactions with other hosts, answering questions and generally being professional. This gentleman tried soliciting my professional services then asking me out.
I wish FF could have done more of a background check, or in my case, somehow block him from seeing my profile because of the information he now had of mine in my general inquiry. I set my settings to private, but he still had too much info in my opinion. Another woman had a very uncomfortable stay with him and didn’t even finish her stay. I get that creeps are everywhere, but I wish more could have been done.
So, as you would with any site/place, keep yourself safe. Overall, I’d still recommend this site to anyone and have recommended it to many people I know. The current place I’m renting is great and the process of finding it was so straightforward.

As a newer user of this platform to find mid term renters, the Furnished Finder site and app have been quite helpful. The customer service has also been good in answering my questions. We are in the middle of our first tenant and we were both pleased with how easy the process was in finding the tenant as well as the quality of those that inquired and applied we also have our next short term midterm Tenant already scheduled for when this lease expires.

It is important to know, though for a new users that there will be some hiccups and questions along the way if you’ve never rented a place out before. However, the site has several tools as well as informative articles, and lastly, customer service representatives that can try and help with the process. the company also has connected to the friend finder platform, their own rent handling payment handling app that can also be linked to help not only process required applications and documentation, but also collect rent (for a fee) apparently it also remind the tenant to pay their rent, which has been kind of nice.
All in all, I do recommend trying them out.

Being a traveling Steward for Horse Racing, I travel a great deal. Recently, I returned to Southern Illinois for another season and had the supreme good fortune to find, through FF a 10 Star rental out of a possible 5- The Best! This is the ideal housing unit for 1 (or 2 max) travelers. It may appear small but is perfect: the free standing cottage is laid out with a shower stall and bathroom for 1 person at a time. The kitchen- food prep area- is open air with plenty of cabinets, basic utensils, a good refrigerator, microwave and sink. They are installing a W/D in the unit. There’s a comfortable couch in the LR w/a fully functioning cable TV. One BR with a Single bed & bureau & a large closet with shelving. Everything is perfectly located including the location which is 4 miles to the Interstate. One may think the super safe ( w/ gates and solid night lighting) property would be noisy, loud as it’s near a highway, but I never had a problem with noise from any source. It is a terrific private living space with incredible privacy and location. The best part of my stay was the landlords : Wonderful, incredibly warm and down to earth folks who went out of there way to make the stay a 100% success. I would go back there in a heartbeat if work took me back that way.

We came to Albuquerque for 6 months for the birth of our granddaughter. Our stay here has been wonderful. The house has been wonderful. It is a good location for us. Indian School Road is one block away and it is a major access to everything we need. Drug stores, Walmart, grocery stores, family restaurants, upscale dining, a butcher shop that has the best meats, flower shops and entertainment. And a nearby church. And the house is wonderful. 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plenty of hot water. Abundant closet space. A fully stocked kitchen cookware, dishes, flatware, utensils. Just move in and start cooking! Convenient pantry next to kitchen and a full size washer and dryer. A two car garage with an automatic garage door. And even being close to major road it is extremely quiet.
Our landlords Alec and Stephanie have also been wonderful. Have always responded quickly to our emails and were available to answer any questions we had.
To say the house was fully stocked would be an understatement. It had everything we needed down to Q-tips and dishwashing detergent. Coffee and sugar in the kitchen. And a welcoming bottle of wine! If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay in Albuquerque this would be an excellent choice.

I’ve been renting for a year at 614 South Luzerne Ave, and honestly it has been a blessing! To be able to rent a room from open minded individuals and kind hearted people, is truly unheard of nowadays. Actually listening to one’s story and trying to support them is something that I have not found in Baltimore. It’s truly a blessing to be in a spot where all you have to do is make continuous improvement in your life. I am just speaking of the owners here.

Now we can get into the interior of the place . When I first walked in this place it feltlike Home. It reminded me of my home in Colorado from the furnishings to the finishing. I knew them that I could make it work. I can tell you this was my best decision while being here in Baltimore. Sure there were minor fixes that needed to be done, but I was safe. I always had heat a place to store my food. Things to cook with and running water to wash my body. I almost forgot to mention the location. You’re walking distance from great Food huge park and the water! The essentials in life!

Next, let’s talk about the roommates I encountered… they were all adults. Just trying to figure this life out. I admit at times maybe I was a bit judgmental, but we all had one thing in common the safe haven at 614 South Luzerne Ave. Here I have made life long friendships, and have meet genuine people.

So, if you’re looking for a safe place to lay your head, make sure you check out 614 South Luzerne Ave.

Tiffany from Colorado!
