Get Started TodayOwner fit and operating standards
Is Your Property a Good Fit for CFR?
CFR works with a curated portfolio so the home, guest experience, and owner relationship begin with clear expectations.
How CFR Works With Owners
Why choose CFR over self-management?
We use a repeatable onboarding and maintenance process to protect the home, reduce day-to-day variability, and keep owner responsibilities clear.
Who does CFR house?
We focus on relocating households, insurance placements, medical professionals, and business travelers who need furnished housing across Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Holly Springs, and Apex.
Our Ideal Partner Properties
To maintain consistent homes and clear guest expectations, we work with a curated portfolio.
Property Condition
Homes must be updated or have an owner ready to complete needed improvements. For signed marketing partners, CFR can coordinate trusted contractor work so the home meets guest and brand standards.
Property Furnishings
If the home is not already furnished, CFR handles the furnishing package, setup, and deep clean so the property launches quickly with consistent, replaceable, guest-ready pieces.
How we prepare the property for the market
Owner Onboarding Workflow
We follow a detailed internal launch protocol to make your home fully ready for mid-term and corporate guests before the first arrival.
Readiness Evaluation
We conduct an initial site visit to assess rental potential based on the home, its location, and proximity to major employers and hospitals such as Duke Hospital and RTP.
Inventory & Furnishing
We create a room-by-room inventory list and can coordinate furnishing with preferred vendors so the owner can review a consistent, property-specific setup plan.
Professional Photography
When included in the signed scope, CFR coordinates property photography and listing preparation. Images and descriptions are reviewed against the actual home before publication.
Owner Intake & Launch Setup
Before launch, owners complete a detailed onboarding questionnaire so we can align pricing, furnishings, guest criteria, and property rules from day one.
We also collect a $1,200 setup fee to cover professional photography, listing creation, and distribution across multiple booking platforms ($500 due at signing, $700 due at first booking).
How CFR protects the home
Property Care and Guest Quality
The property is inspected throughout the stay, and guests are matched with homes suited to their needs and the owner's requirements.
Property Care & Maintenance
Turnover Inspections
A deep clean and inspection is performed strictly after every checkout to reset the home to baseline.
Quarterly HVAC Checks
We handle filter replacements and system health checks.
Ongoing Maintenance & Upkeep
Owners handle landscaping, power washing, and major updates. CFR can refer trusted vendors or coordinate access when requested.
90-Day Reviews
For extended stays, we conduct mid-stay cleanings and inspections to ensure the asset remains pristine.

Financials, Updates & Common Questions
How are stays structured?
Most stays begin with a 30-day Vacation Rental Agreement designed for relocating families, insurance placements, and corporate professionals. Longer arrangements renew every 30 days, and terms and house rules are confirmed in writing before move-in.
How does payment work?
In most cases, rent is paid directly to the homeowner based on the agreement and booking channel. Owners also pay property expenses directly (utilities, landscaping, maintenance, etc.).
What updates will I receive?
You’ll receive clear booking confirmations, guest stay details, and proactive communication anytime something needs owner approval (pricing exceptions, pet requests, maintenance coordination, or special circumstances).
How does CFR prepare my property for the market?
We prepare your property by evaluating market demand, optimizing the layout and furnishings for mid-term guests, and positioning it to perform competitively from day one. Then we professionally list and market the home across multiple platforms and direct channels to attract high-quality, longer-stay guests.
Can I furnish the property myself?
No. To ensure operational efficiency and consistent guest experiences, CFR manages the entire setup. We use standardized furnishings that are durable, stylish, and easily replaceable.
What happens during maintenance emergencies?
If there’s a true emergency (like an active leak or HVAC outage), we contact the appropriate vendor right away to protect the home and minimize disruption for the guest. The vendor bills the owner directly, and we can coordinate access and communication as needed.
