Tell us about the history of your business:

TrexStays was born out of a need to serve people in the Springfield community. We offer fully furnished, high-quality homes for temporary housing needs (30 days+). Our clients include travelling professionals (physicians, medical staff, corporate travelers, engineers, contractors, etc.). They come to Springfield for a short assignment and need a comfortable place to stay. Some people are relocating to this city or their homes are temporarily damaged. We strive to provide our guests with an elevated experience during their stays when they are away from home.

We advertise Springfield as a destination for work, education, art and tourism.
