Committed to delivering our very best, every time, everywhere.

Over 50 years ago, CORT began with a single goal in mind: to deliver unparalleled customer service to people and businesses. We began with residential furniture rental in five regions across the United States and have grown to become the nation’s leading provider of transition services, including furniture rental for home and office, event furnishings, destination services, apartment locating, touring and other services. In addition to our 100+ offices, showrooms and clearance centers across the United States, we provide furniture rental in more than 80 countries around the globe.

Our team takes pride in providing world-class service in a very personal, customized way. We believe that the details matter, because it’s the little things that separate good from great. We believe that our customers, colleagues and partners deserve great. And we believe that great things come from an authentic commitment to delivering our very best, every time, everywhere.

Our vision: Everything is possible through service.™

“Everything is possible” denotes the expansive promise to reach higher than the ordinary and consider the extraordinary everyday. Everyone, each individual, holds potential to make things happen; everyone is empowered.

Our concept of “services” transcends CORT and the customer relationship to include – colleague-to-colleague, department-to-department, management to employee and your personal and professional aspirations.

Our vision: Everything is possible through service.™
