Showhomes Home Staging continues its growth in North Carolina as a new franchise opens in Franklin.

At a time that has seen the real estate market fall to a low point and struggle to rebound, Showhomes Home Staging continues to beat market conditions and increase revenues. In many markets, staged Showhomes are beating local market conditions by as much as 50 percent and this success is fueling the company’s growth, according to Matt Kelton, Chief Operating Officer for Showhomes.

“Showhomes Home Staging is a great idea for today’s economy,” says Cindi Stringer, co-owner of the new franchise in Franklin.  “There are a lot of foreclosures in this area and sellers are competing with the prices. Showhomes Home Staging helps make homes stand out so they can compete in a buyer’s market, and allows buyers to make an emotional connection right away.”

Showhomes Franklin is a family affair. Stringer and husband Mike, daughter Amanda Stringer and son-in-law Chris are all partners. A former nurse, Cindi Stringer is excited to change pace and introduce North Carolina and Northern Georgia to the possibilities that professional home staging offers. “Franklin is a vacation home community,” she says. “Locals need their homes to stand out against foreclosures and they can depend on Showhomes Home Staging to do just the trick.”

Kelton said he knows the new owners are ready to get to work. “This community is filled with many vacant homes, and all they need is a little staging by Showhomes.”
