Showhomes is based on a simple, yet ingenious, concept. We offer services that give homeowners—and Realtors—a competitive advantage for vacant homes so they sell at the highest price in the shortest period of time. Our turnkey package includes whole-house furnishing, professional decorating, staging and a live-in home manager to maintain an inviting, clutter-free Showhome. Homeowners pay an initial set-up fee and a success fee, offset by lower carrying costs, a premium selling price and an accelerated sale. The service is free to real estate agents.
Showhomes is a win/win proposition for agents, homeowners, franchisees and home managers. Homeowners save money on utilities, insurance and maintenance costs—and get top dollar for their properties. Realtors have a fully furnished, tastefully decorated listing in show-to-sell condition seven days a week—without the headaches of home management responsibilities. Home managers have the luxury of living in a gracious, well-appointed home for about what they would pay to rent a two-bedroom apartment.
Have fun, provide a valuable service—and make money
Franchise owners provide a valuable service to Realtors and homeowners by helping sell property that would otherwise sit on the market. Working with decorators, Realtors and homeowners gives you an opportunity to express your creativity and put your fundamental knowledge of real estate to work. For many franchisees, it's the ideal business: have fun, help others—and make money!
