Relocation adds real-life decisions at the exact moment a new hire is learning a new role. A move can stall focus with questions about neighborhoods, school districts, commutes, and daily needs. A furnished, move-in-ready home removes much of that friction so employees can settle quickly and show up ready to work.
At Gumball Properties, we provide fully furnished, move-in-ready homes for 30+ day stays. We partner with HR as a housing vendor—not relocation consultants.
What This Means in Plain English
Corporate housing is a private residence that’s ready on day one. Furnishings, linens, and kitchen basics are in place, core utilities and fast Wi-Fi are set, and the space functions like home—so your employee isn’t living out of boxes or spending days arranging services. The goal is simple: reduce decision fatigue outside the office so focus returns to onboarding and work.
Who It’s For
- HR teams placing employees for 30+ day stays
- Traveling professionals and remote assignments
- Individuals between homes who need a stable base
What’s Included (Day-One Readiness)
- Private unit (not a roomshare)
- Furnishings, linens, and a stocked kitchen for everyday cooking
- Fast, verified Wi-Fi; core utilities typically included (any caps agreed in advance)
- Flexible terms confirmed up front
These essentials turn the first night into a normal night—sleep, cook, work, and reset—without supply runs or setup tasks.
How Corporate Leases Work (Simple)
- Share dates, city/area, bedrooms, budget, and must-haves.
- We propose available furnished homes that fit your criteria.
- Lease terms—and any utility caps—are set up front so there are no surprises.
Our role is housing. We don’t provide relocation consulting or real-estate agent services; when helpful, we can introduce employees to trusted local professionals so they’re never navigating alone.
The Hidden Costs of a DIY Relocation
Productivity on Pause
Without a ready home base, new hires juggle logistics: researching schools, comparing neighborhoods and commute routes, setting up utilities, and locating everyday services. Every unanswered question pulls attention away from onboarding.
- School districts and enrollment timelines
- Neighborhood comparisons and commute options
- Utilities, Wi-Fi, and basic furnishings
- Grocers, clinics, childcare, gyms, parks, and pet services
A turnkey home removes many of these to-dos so energy returns to the job faster.
The Day-90 Problem
Early months set the tone. If the first 90 days are dominated by housing headaches, engagement can suffer. A frictionless start builds trust and makes it easier for employees to stay and contribute.

Finding a Home, Not Just a House

Becoming a Local Quickly
Small comforts matter. Our locals guide points employees to reliable businesses that make daily life easier from day one—clinics and pharmacies, markets and specialty shops, gyms and parks, auto care, cleaners, and delivery services.
