The situation involving the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve. Each state in the nation faces a different level of risk and each governor is implementing unique steps specific to that state. During this time of uncertainty, we wanted to reach out personally to discuss how CHBO intends to support you and your needs....
Just because you offer corporate housing, it does not mean that you cannot fall victim to a property rental scam. There are several ways that owners can be “rooked” out of money, and it usually has to do with misrepresentation. This is one of the main reasons that we always advocate that property owners do their due diligence before allowing anyone to sign a lease and move in. One of the best resources for those who own corporate housing is a management company or firm that provides you with lots of resources for ensuring valid tenants....
I really hate it when people are just WRONG! FACT: Corporate Housing Rentals come in ALL shapes and sizes. FICTION: Corporate Housing is only for corporate travelers.

If you don’t know the answer it is okay to just say so, there really is no need to just make stuff up – really! Recently a senior director of global mobility for some large credit card company decided...

Thank you to Sherri for taking the time to make this post about her experience with a Craigslist Rental Scam: Sherri Bell on June 10, 2014 at 12:30 am said: “I was at my rental property and some people stop to ask if I was renting my house. It is listed with CHBO so naturally I said yes. They then asked if I had it listed on craigslist, to which I replied NO! They showed me the add, and we both flagged it! They simply copy and pasted my CHBO listing. I know this is a common occurrence, but I just wanted...
I received this alert from the Colorado Department of Real Estate and thought it was applicable to all real estate markets. If you are selling a property take a minute to read this important information. Real Estate Alert: Summer Scam – Misrepresentation of Cash Offers The summer selling season is warming up and the inventory of available homes for sale is very low.

Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to work right and the universe just seems off. I know we all have. When I talk with Property Managers and especially Leasing Agents I always tell them to “Trust your gut” when things just feel wrong. If a leasing transaction seems off, take the time to find out why. If a property condition is not like you left it and no one was supposed to be there, then change the locks. Don’t just assume you are off, slow down enough to really appreciate the smaller things in life that...
