Magazine highlights Showhomes Home Staging in fast-growing, low-cost and home-based business categories
Nashville-based Showhomes Home Staging franchise has gained national media attention for its “home staging with a twist” business model. Focusing on vacant houses, franchisees recruit and train live-in Home Managers to stage and maintain the home while it is on the market and for sale.
“These rankings plus our six years of double-digit growth demonstrate that our approach to home staging not only works to move homes, but also is a solid business model for the right entrepreneur,” says Matt Kelton, Showhomes’ COO.
Example of Showhomes Home Staging
Specifically, Showhomes Home Staging ranked 45th in low-investment businesses; 62nd in top home-based businesses; and 100th in fastest-growing franchise systems. Overall, Showhomes Home Staging ranked 214th on the annual list, which is highly competitive and dominated by large, well-known franchise brands.
This is the first year the Entrepreneur Magazine ranked the home staging franchisor in its Top 500.
“We are well-positioned to be a top player in real estate-related franchising, and for good reason,” Kelton says. “We are in a hot category of small business and we have a very high potential return on investment.”
In a recovering economy, Showhomes Home Staging’s standing as a top franchisor with low entry costs is particularly notable. More people are looking to switch careers or start their own businesses now than at any time in more than a generation. Showhomes Home Staging services are popular with homeowners and Realtors because they lower insurance costs, create a model-home atmosphere and make a vacant house easier to sell.
Entrepreneur Magazine has been evaluating the top 500 franchise companies for 31 years and examines important criteria such as financial strength and stability, growth rate and system size to determine rankings. Amy Cosper, VP and editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur, called the 2011 Franchise 500 “a must-see list for anyone searching for the right business.”
