  • What Airbnb Hosts Don’t Realize About Furnished Rentals | Ken and Gary Brown
    2025/06/17
    What does it take to turn a small real estate side hustle into a global corporate housing empire? In this episode, we sit down with Ken and Gary Brown—founders of Furnished Quarters—to explore their incredible journey from NYC real estate investors to international leaders in corporate housing. With roots in their family’s furniture business and a knack for strategic growth, the Brown brothers transformed a few furnished apartments in Manhattan into 1,000+ units worldwide. They break down how corporate housing fills a unique niche between hotels and Airbnb—offering professionals fully furnished apartments for 30 days or longer—and explain what truly sets their approach apart when it comes to design, guest experience, and client retention. From navigating post-COVID market shifts to scaling operations across continents, Ken and Gary share hard-earned insights that every entrepreneur in hospitality, real estate, or short-term rentals needs to hear. Whether you're new to the space or ready to scale, this episode is packed with lessons in adaptability, service, and smart growth. Things we discussed in this episode: Fully furnished apartments for 30+ day stays. Founded in the 1980s by brothers Gary and Ken Brown. Rooted in real estate and family furniture expertise. Serves corporate relocations, interns, and families in transition. COVID-19 reshaped demand for space and flexibility. Properties in business hubs and family-friendly neighborhoods. 24/7 high-touch customer service and quick issue resolution. Operates 1,000+ units across multiple countries. Neutral, locally-inspired interior design for broad appeal. Keys to scaling: great people, flexibility, and consistent service.
