“I started this business because I’ve been there myself — living out of suitcases, constantly on the move, and searching for places that felt like home.”
— Gaston

After the pandemic, Gaston found himself working in a demanding role for a major aerospace manufacturer, supporting projects that required him to travel frequently across continents. He spent months at a time living in temporary housing in the Washington, D.C. area, before heading back out for business or traveling to South America to visit his family.

When he was finally ready to settle in the D.C. area, Gaston needed more time to find the right permanent home. But he also wanted to stay somewhere that felt special — a place that was furnished, convenient, and comfortable, with all the luxuries that make everyday life enjoyable.

He quickly discovered how difficult it was to find short-term housing that checked all those boxes. Everything felt either too impersonal, or lacking in comfort. And he realized he couldn’t be the only person facing this challenge.

That’s when he was inspired to dive deeper into the world of real estate. He began learning everything he could about creative finance, rental arbitrage, corporate housing strategies, and innovative ways to help both travelers and homeowners find flexible, profitable solutions. He connected with real estate professionals, studied market trends, and explored how to blend hospitality with smart investment practices.

Through this journey, Gaston realized there was a unique opportunity: to build a business that offered high-quality, flexible housing solutions for people like himself — while also helping homeowners leverage creative options to sell or rent their properties in ways that fit their life plans.

That’s what led him to create Capital Corporate Stays: to help people like himself — professionals, relocating families, and homeowners — find high-quality housing solutions or creative ways to transition their properties, all with a personal touch and a sense of home.
