More Than a Move: Supporting Athletes and Professionals with Furnished Housing in Times of Transition

The headlines don’t tell the whole story when athletes are traded, newly signed, or relocated.  

Behind every move is a whirlwind of logistics, and at the top of the list is finding a place to live. 

That’s where Furnished Quarters steps in.  

We provide flexible, fully furnished housing for athletes, executives, families, and professionals navigating fast, often unexpected transitions.  

Whether it’s a trade deadline or a job relocation, our furnished apartments offer comfort, convenience, and speed — right when it matters most. 

The Hidden Challenge Behind Sports Relocations

For professional athletes, moves often happen in the middle of the season — sometimes even in the middle of the night — not just the off-season.  

A single phone call can mean switching teams, cities, and entire support systems overnight. 

“When a player gets that call, we know the clock starts ticking,” said Ken Brown, Vice President of Global Solutions at Furnished Quarters. “It’s not just about housing — it’s about helping them feel settled in a new city, fast.” 

From athletes to coaches to support staff and trainers, relocation is part of the job — and so is the need for housing that’s ready to go on day one. 

That’s where we come in. 

Why Flexible Furnished Housing Matters

Athletes — and professionals in similar high-mobility industries — typically are unable to commit to a 12-month lease. Their careers are too unpredictable.  

That’s why our furnished short-term rentals offer the flexibility to stay for 30 days or several months, without penalty or hassle. 

Furnished Quarters works closely with: 

• Professional sports teams and agents 

• Corporate relocation departments 

• Insurance providers handling emergency housing 

Our exclusive short-term rental properties are move-in ready, and we include clauses that allow for easy early termination or tenant transfers if circumstances change, especially common with trades or transfers. 

Our Housing Isn’t Just for Athletes

While we’ve supported some of the biggest names in sports, our furnished apartments are designed for anyone navigating life transitions, including: 

• Executives relocating for work 

• Healthcare patients receiving extended treatment 

• Government employees or contractors on assignment 

• Families dealing with insurance claims or home repairs 

What is the one thing they all have in common? They need a fully furnished, comfortable place to stay, fast. 

What Sets Furnished Quarters Apart from the Rest?

We refined our corporate housing model around what mobile professionals — especially athletes — value most: 

• King-sized beds and spacious layouts 

• Fully equipped kitchens for meal prep or personal chefs 

• Proximity to training facilities or workplaces 

• All-inclusive amenities: Wi-Fi, linens, cookware, furniture 

• Turnkey experience — just bring your suitcase 

While hotels might feel like a temporary fix, our furnished apartments feel like home. They offer more privacy, space, comfort, and livability — especially for those longer stays. 

How We Offer Rapid Placement in Major Cities

With deep relationships across the Tri-State Area, Boston, Northern California, and other key markets, we maintain a robust inventory of ready-to-move-in furnished apartments. 

Over the years, we’ve built partnerships with landlords and developers, property managers and real estate professionals. 

This allows us to act fast, often placing individuals or families within 24 to 48 hours of their initial call. 

And in some cases, we’re already working behind the scenes with a team or employer before a move is public knowledge. Our confidentiality, discretion, and responsiveness are what set us apart. 

It’s About More Than Housing — It’s About Care

Relocating — whether by choice or surprise — is emotional.  

It can affect spouses, children, routines, and mental well-being. 

“We’re not just offering a place to sleep — we’re part of someone’s welcome to a new chapter,” Ken Brown said recently. “It’s our job to make that experience feel effortless.” 

At Furnished Quarters, we focus on more than the apartment, we focus on support.  

Whether it’s a new contract, a new job, or a new life stage, we can help make the transition smoother.
