NBA's Orlando Magic Selects CORT as Preferred Relocation Services Provider

Rental Relocation Services Help Magic Personnel Settle Into the Community

ORLANDO, FL (May 14, 2008) - The Orlando Magic NBA basketball team has selected CORT as the preferred relocation services provider to meet the rental and related needs for employees moving into the area.

CORT, a Berkshire Hathaway company and the nation's leading furniture rental and rental relocation services provider, is providing the nation's first and most comprehensive range of rental relocation services for people and companies in transition.

In the Orlando area, CORT provides furniture rental and sales for individuals and businesses, and helps people find apartments through its online ApartmentSearch.com and its Apartment Search business locations in Winter Park and Kissimmee.

As part of its rental relocation services for people and companies in transition, CORT's services include hotels, apartments, corporate housing, single family home rentals, destination touring services, utility services, renter's insurance, car rental, job search assistance for spouses and much more. CORT relocation consultants can assist with virtually any services needed to help employees and their families begin living in new communities.

The services include tours for people moving into Orlando and the surrounding area. CORT employees provide in-depth advice and community information from a local-market resident's perspective with half- and full-day tours. In addition, CORT's destination services include "settling-in" neighborhood orientation services such as school and church information and assistance obtaining a driver's license and other documentation for international transferees.

"The Orlando Magic provides a state-of-the-art experience for fans and players, and we are dedicated to provide exemplary service to our employees," said Joel Glass, vice president of media relations for the Orlando Magic. "We appreciate the services that CORT provides to help our employees relocate to Central Florida and join our community."

"Imagine having to quickly choose the ideal location for an apartment or house in an unfamiliar city or state. Employees want a location that provides a manageable commute to work and is conveniently located near schools, shopping, recreation and other amenities to accommodate a wide array of needs," said Pete Regules, supervising district manager for CORT in Orlando. "Without guidance, this is a daunting task for employees and families. We are proud to be helping Magic employees relocate to join the Central Florida community and one of the most well-respected organizations in the National Basketball Association."
