Rentals’ clients are corporate transferees, home stagers, relocating families, travel nurses, contractors, consultants, military people and others who need furnishings on a temporary basis. “Te Masters is always an exciting time of year for me and our team because it allows us to interact with an entirely different client base,” said Blalock. In addition to expanding its core business, the company
