Corporate Housing By Owner

What Corporate Housing By Owner does

Corporate Housing By Owner (CHBO), founded in 2005 and headquartered in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, operates an online marketplace that connects owners of furnished residential properties with corporate renters and individuals seeking mid-term temporary housing, primarily across the United States and Canada with additional international destinations. The platform allows property owners to create listings searchable by city, state, and dates, and supports the booking workflow through phone support, live chat, scheduled consultation calls, and DocuSign-integrated rental agreements.

The product surface is anchored on three core programs: the CHBO Marketplace itself, the CHBO Complete quality seal (which certifies that participating properties meet a defined feature set bundled into a single monthly rate), and the CHBO Rental Program (a managed-service offering where CHBO handles guest communication, background and credit screening, rental paperwork, deposits, and rent collection on behalf of landlords). Around these, the company offers paid listing enhancements including professional photography ($350 one-time), featured homepage placement ($100/month), sponsored listings ($50/month), YouTube-hosted virtual tour videos ($150), and walkthrough video production ($375), as well as the Accidental Rental Damage Protection (ARDP) product supplied in partnership with Rental Guardian for up to $5,000 per stay, tenant screening, and a Business Directory of ancillary service providers.

CHBO monetizes primarily through advertising-style fees from property owners — base listing subscriptions plus a la carte add-ons — supplemented by transaction-linked services such as ARDP and DocuSign credit packs. The customer base is bifurcated: on the supply side, individual property owners and small landlords; on the demand side, a deliberately diversified mix of corporate travelers, relocating professionals, travel nurses, military personnel, government employees, entertainment industry professionals, education visitors, and emergency/disaster-displaced households. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer via SEO-optimized city landing pages, supplemented by content marketing, social channels, email, Awin affiliate referrals, and earned media in outlets such as CNBC, the New York Times, and USA Today.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: The dominant global short-term rental marketplace. Airbnb has expanded aggressively into 30+ day monthly stays, directly overlapping CHBO's mid-term furnished rental niche, with vastly larger supply, brand recognition, and capital.
• Staybridge Suites / Extended Stay America: Extended-stay hotel brands serving corporate travelers and relocating professionals. While a hotel model rather than marketplace, they directly compete with CHBO for the same mid-term furnished housing demand.
• Sonder: Operates and leases furnished short-term apartments in urban markets. While more hospitality-focused than CHBO, it serves overlapping corporate and extended-stay customer demand with a more capital-intensive operating model.

Direct peers

• Furnished Finder: Direct competitor focused on travel nurse and healthcare professional furnished housing. Closest functional peer to CHBO's travel nurse vertical with similar mid-term rental focus and renter/owner marketplace model.
• Vrbo: Vacation rental marketplace owned by Expedia that competes for furnished rental bookings. While more leisure-focused than CHBO, it overlaps on whole-home furnished rentals serving traveling professionals and families.
• CorporateHousing.com: Corporate housing provider serving the same corporate relocation and extended-stay market as CHBO. Competes for both corporate clients seeking temporary housing and property owners listing furnished inventory.

Emerging players

• Landing: Flexible furnished apartment rental company offering 30+ day stays. Targets a similar mid-term, corporate-leaning renter as CHBO with an operator-owned inventory model and subscription-style offerings.
• Blueground: Tech-enabled furnished apartment operator offering 30+ day stays in major cities. Overlaps with CHBO's mid-term furnished rental value proposition but uses an operator-owned inventory model rather than a marketplace.
• Kasa: Tech-enabled short-term and mid-term rental operator competing in the furnished apartment space. Overlaps with CHBO's corporate and extended-stay use cases through professionally managed apartment inventory.

Others

• Zillow: Major real estate marketplace with rental listings. While primarily focused on long-term rentals, it serves as an alternative discovery channel for both property owners and renters evaluating where to advertise or search.
