CORT, which was founded in 1971 with the merger of four small regional furniture rental companies is today the nation's largest provider of rental furniture, accessories and related services in the industry. We provide high-quality furniture to both individuals and corporations who desire flexibility in their furnishing needs. CORT is proud to have been recognized as a reliable first responder to disasters like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, and more recently, we were chosen for the second time by the US Census Bureau to set up field offices for the 2010 Census. These types of events require complicated logistics and demand quick and flexible solutions.

In 2000, CORT was proud to become part of Berkshire Hathaway, a company known for its corporate ethics and unrivaled financial stability.

In 2006, CORT began providing services designed specifically for relocating renters and individuals on domestic or international temporary assignments. CORT recognized that companies need their key talent to hit the ground running and maintain optimal levels of productivity while maximizing cost efficiencies at the same time.

Our services range from locating furnished and unfurnished, temporary or long-term, apartment or private rental housing; guided community tours, settling-in and other destination services.

CORT's vast service operations footprint, with 105 showrooms, 95 clearance centers and 97 warehouses have allowed us to serve customer needs in over 1700 different locations across the country. In 2008, CORT expanded its operation to the U.K. through the purchase of Roomservice Group and has built a partner network that can service customer needs in over 50 countries worldwide.

As an organization, CORT's greatest assets are the more than 2,000 employees who understand the difficulties and stresses involved with major transitions. Our company's motto, "Wherever you're heading, we'll be there" is CORT's commitment to making your transition as smooth and pain-free as possible.
