Furnished Finder

Overall this is a great place to rent through and we have had really good tenants and experience overall. There are some things about website that are hard to use. Messages and tenants looking for places are not linked well. If you are contacting a prospective tenant you have to physically put link in or they don’t know what place you are talking about. It’s very hard to get link to your own property so I keep these in a separate word file and copy and paste into messages. Tenants frequently complain about not knowing what property is being discussed so I know it’s frustrating for them also. If you have a message direct from a tenant there is nothing on app to tell you that so you have to physically check this frequently and if you have multiple properties there is no way to tell which one is being asked about. There are also frequent scammers using this site so you do have to be cautious. The site management is great though about alerts to scammers or doing something if a scammer is identified. Most prospective tenants are sincere and good but as with any site there are also a frequent subset who are manipulative, trying to be irresponsible so you absolutely have to check references. Pet owners who aren’t up front and honest about pets is a HUGE red flag, and we automatically eliminate anyone who is evasive about their pets and not willing to supply references. We did have a tenant (NOT from furnished finder) whose dog cost over 50K in damage and lost rental income.

I have used this app several times to find housing while working as a traveling CNA. I have not come across any issues whatsoever until recently. I was relocating down to Geneva, New York and sent two or three owners a message. I have no idea what happened, but I continuously got my name sent to all these different owners of apartments, rooms, etc. in Geneva, New York, when I never even looked at their rental location. No idea how this happened, but I was getting messages from people daily for well over a month. All I could do was email each and everyone back, apologize for their time, and each one of them said that my name and email address was sent to them and then I was interested in looking at the property. this never happens so I have no idea why this occurred. But I have been wanting to touch base with Furnished Finders, and find out how this happened. I also had messages from where I have my apartment in New York, and people were getting my name interested in looking at their property when I am very happy with my current location at home. and then that happened again in Vermont. So I’m not quite sure what is happening but I have to keep emailing people back and telling them I’m sorry, but I wasn’t looking at your property, thank you. So maybe that is something you could look into ASAP. Other than that, Furnished Finders has been wonderful.

We came to Albuquerque for 6 months for the birth of our granddaughter. Our stay here has been wonderful. The house has been wonderful. It is a good location for us. Indian School Road is one block away and it is a major access to everything we need. Drug stores, Walmart, grocery stores, family restaurants, upscale dining, a butcher shop that has the best meats, flower shops and entertainment. And a nearby church. And the house is wonderful. 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plenty of hot water. Abundant closet space. A fully stocked kitchen cookware, dishes, flatware, utensils. Just move in and start cooking! Convenient pantry next to kitchen and a full size washer and dryer. A two car garage with an automatic garage door. And even being close to major road it is extremely quiet. Our landlords Alec and Stephanie have also been wonderful. Have always responded quickly to our emails and were available to answer any questions we had. To say the house was fully stocked would be an understatement. It had everything we needed down to Q-tips and dishwashing detergent. Coffee and sugar in the kitchen. And a welcoming bottle of wine! If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay in Albuquerque this would be an excellent choice.
