Show homes has been very professional.
I would consider myself a veteran real estate agent.
Show homes met with my seller and explained they're staging program.
When it came time to doing the staging they were very quick and professional.

“Showhomes has done a great job in staging a previously challenging property. They have maximized the space and minimized obvious flaws to create a beautifully designed home. It has made a 180 degree difference in how the home is now perceived on the market. Their concern about this property’s care is also clearly evident. I would use Showhomes again!”

“Showhomes of Charleston has provided an innovative solution for me and my sellers. They transformed a vacant property which had a few quirks into a dynamic home to which buyers could relate. The home managers assigned to the property keep the home in beautiful condition and they are ready for showings within an hour’s notice. The homeowners have reduced their monthly carrying fees for utilities and upkeep. The Showhomes team has also been great to work with and have made my job easier. They want to help me get this home sold.”

"We recently became property managers for the Showhomes of Charleston team. The experience thus far has been very rewarding. The initial period of settling in and staging the home requires true commitment. But, the end result is well worth it. We now enjoy maintaining the home and the opportunity it affords our family to live in a lovely property and community. Being a successful property manager requires attention to detail, great organizational skills and a flexible approach. We have received fantastic support from the Showhomes team and thoroughly enjoy our role as property managers."

As a relatively new agent, I spend a lot of time with buyers. It is amazing to see the difference in their reaction to a property once it has been staged by Showhomes. The new look immediately allows the buyer to envision living in the home. Simple good taste sells houses.

Thank you for partnering with me to have a successful sale. You gave me an edge over my competitor and helped me get the listing. By staging the home immediately, it captured buyers in the first crucial days of the listing. The home looked beautiful and presented so much better than a vacant home. Showhomes helped me receive an offer in less than 30 days and my seller is thrilled. Let's do this again."

“After being on the market for over 600 days and sitting vacant for many months, our agent recommended Showhomes. We chose to contract with them for staging through their Home Manager program. What a difference it made! In only 29 days after staging, we received a contract. The home presented beautifully and the home managers were wonderful. I am so glad we made the decision to use Showhomes. Now the home is sold and we are happy!”

“Showhomes has provided professional services to me for my downtown property. As previously vacant, buyers were not able to visualize the home’s potential. Showhomes staged the home by bringing in a conscientious home manager and furnishings that complemented the home’s character. The property was cared for and well-managed. Their staff worked with my agent to provide excellent showings which resulted in multiple offers. I would highly recommend Showhomes to anyone who has the challenge of owning a vacant property.”

I have nothing but positive things to say about the home manager program. Having someone here to help us unpack and arrange things was so unbelievable - we'd still be in boxes if it wasn't for them! They made our house feel like a home very quickly. The house is amazing - what other program can you live in a million dollar house for a fraction of what the normal rent would be?! Again, truly a great experience.

“Showhomes provided outstanding professional staging services for our home. Our home was vacant and seemed barren and unwelcoming, but the Showhomes design team transformed it. The result was beautiful, warm, and brought out the best features of the house. After staging, we received a contract in just over a month and I am confident that their staging made it possible. My wife and I are thrilled with the outcome and would recommend Showhomes Charleston to anyone needing staging of their home.”

When walking into what is now our new home, we felt comfortable from the start! The environment was warm and welcoming and the house was decorated in a way that made us feel “at home” immediately. We could easily envision our furniture and our belongings in this well-appointed place.
After we negotiated and agreed on a closing date, due to family and friends visiting the area, we had requested that we visit the house on several occasions. Each time we visited, the house was immaculate and the home managers were most accommodating to our schedule.
Seeing the house as “lived in” made such a difference to us, as seeing this house empty would not have made the same impact. It made our buying decision all that much easier!
I would definitely recommend “Showhomes” as I am certain, given our own experience, that the house would show better and a sale would be that much quicker!

From the beginning to the end, they made sure that my client was happy. The entire process was very simple. The Showhomes crew took charge with their knowledge and expertise and did a truly wonderful job staging the home with quality furnishings & accessories.
Not only were we able to receive a contract within 20 days, but also at a higher asking price! My client and I are 100% convinced that staging this property made all the difference. I will most definitely be using Showhomes in the future and recommending them to any client that needs the help of true professionals.

Our realtor agent suggested staging our vacant rental home with Showhomes. Great suggestion! We know that staging with Showhomes increased the sales price and drastically reduced the time to sell. Two days after listing, we had an offer and closed in a week. Showhomes staff were professional, friendly and flexible. The furnishings were high quality and really showed how the rooms could be lived in. They even had great ideas for those strange unusable spaces. The furnishings made the rooms look larger than they did vacant. We even staged the screened in porch with outdoor furniture, which expanded the living areas even more. The moving crew was meticulously careful and left everything cleaner than when they arrived. When we told them house was sold and we needed the house empty in a few days - it was no problem. We would highly recommend them.

I wanted to write and thank you for partnering in selling our home on the Isle of Palms.
We built on the Island about 24 years ago and had a wonderful time raising our boys at the beach. Over that time I accumulated a great deal of furniture and things and when it came time to sell our home, it just did not show well. It was best for us to entirely move out and as a former realtor, I knew the home needed to have furniture in it to sell.
Showhomes was exactly what we needed! Your rate was amazingly reasonable and our home sold in three short months! I am absolutely convinced had we not partnered with Showhomes, our home would have been on the market many months longer.
I am thrilled and grateful for all you did for us! I tell everyone I know who is considering selling a home about Showhomes. It is well worth the investment and will sell your home in a very short time. Your staff did a fantastic job in updating our house with furnishings that were appropriate for the beach which was a tremendous draw to buyers. Showhomes is a brilliant idea to help sellers in this economy and I wish you all the best!

Our experience with Lorelei and her team at Showhomes was wonderful. From their assessing and quoting the job to their follow-thru, everything was done very professionally. We enjoyed watching the crew at work---moving and removing items from our home---making interesting and, I think, better choices for each room. I was impressed by their abilities and ease of working together to come up with creative solutions. They encouraged us to get rid of the "fun color" in the bathrooms of our beach house and update to a more neutral palette. They were right---the new colors give a feeling of connectivity to each floor and make the rooms look larger. In two days, they returned with purchases--within budget--that were appropriate, fun, and enhance each space. They were all delightful to work with and I highly recommend their services.

I am a Realtor and I not only use them for my own homes that I renovate and sell, but I encourage clients to employ them as well, I've found that people THINK they can decorate a space to maximize the effect but they are often flat out wrong.
BTW, I struggle with paint selections. I've recently gotten help from Showhomes in advance of painting interior and exterior colors and been very glad I did! Lorelie steered me towards a neutral yet inviting paint color that expands the space while showing off the trim.

Everyone we worked with at Showhomes was the consummate professional. They delivered exactly what they promised, on time, every time. There is no question we sold our home faster and for more then we would have without engaging their services.

What's not to say...they met my clients needs and totally exceeded my expectations. I would not consider any other company to stage a luxury home. Their attention to detail is incredible and kept it seamless during the entire process. Customer service is incredible and any questions or concerns are answered quickly and always in a friendly and sincere manner. Showhomes of Charleston care about their clients and the agents they work with and the home managers I really could not have asked for anyone better. They truly take the time to interview the home managers to make sure it is a right fit and the home was always, always in show ready condition quickly. They highlighted the home with high end furnishings and beautiful accent pieces. If you are considering anyone else, stop and look no further, call Showhomes of Charleston..you won't be sorry!!

I cannot say enough about Showhomes of Charleston! My listing went under contract in 1 day! I listed this house twice before in the past two years, but the sellers were not ready to make the changes that I suggested. After 6 months off the market as a rental, the sellers agreed to make a few cosmetic changes and let Showhomes stage the house. Wow! What an amazing transformation that helped sell the home quickly. The sellers are extremely happy and that makes me happy. Thank you, Showhomes of Charleston!

Lorelie Brown is the Joanna Gaines of Charleston. She makes it look easy but she spends a lot of time planning, preparing, and delivering quality home furnishings that maximize the positive things about each home and minimize the negatives. I've seen her take cramped, funky spaces and give them purpose. She can also transform lovely spaces into extraordinary spaces that make people want to sit and plant roots right on the spot.

Kaylan and Lorelie were amazing at staging our home for sale! I hesitated hiring a professional stager because of the cost. I can unequivocally say that it was worth every single penny! Showhomes went way, way beyond my expectations. Two of my close friends said they didn't even recognize some of the rooms because they looked like they were in a magazine. Kaylan even helped me before the staging over a holiday weekend by picking out the hardwood floor stain which looked amazing. Surprisingly, the cost was very reasonable with different price levels for different budgets. They handled everything , worked late, and the next day it was magazine quality perfection. We want to buy most of the furniture from them. They thought of every detail from artwork, hand towels, books, plants and soap dishes. We highly, highly recommend Kaylan and Showhomes of Charleston to stage your home!

Every aspect of their professional services made selling my listing both pleasurable and much easier for me as a real estate agent. Their entire staff were friendly, prompt and attentive to my every need with the single mindset of making my job easier, making my listing show ready and getting this property sold. They transformed my listing into a show place in a matter of days from the signing of their agreement. They helped with subcontractors for whatever the needs which was most helpful and time saving for me. They provided assistance with flyers and open houses for Realtors and prospects. They are not only a staging company but they understand what Realtors need to sell homes and communicate well throughout the entire process from staging to closing the deal. I would highly recommend these folks because you get more than a staging company, you actual get a partner who understands and appreciates what a difference a team effort makes in selling home.

frequently asked questions
- What is home staging?When a home is "staged", it's furnished and decorated in a way that's carefully designed to maximize the home's appeal to prospective buyers.
- What benefits does home staging offer to a Homeowner?A properly staged home has just the right quality and quantity of furnishings for a buyer to understand how rooms function and how spaces flow. Staging creates warmth, life, and positive emotion. Good staging avoids clutter or overly personalized decor that might be a turn-off to some. It maximizes the home's strengths while minimizing any shortcomings. Staging engages prospective buyers, increases their interest and perception of value. A prospective buyer becomes more likely to buy!
- Do you provide staging services for owner-occupied homes?Yes, we are a full service staging organization and can provide help for homes that are occupied either for sale or for those who just want to update the look of their property.
- What is a Home Manager?A Home Manager is an individual or family who assists Showhomes by living in a Showhome and caring for it while it's on the market. Showhomes painstakingly selects and trains each Home Manager in accordance with the system we've developed through three decades of experience.
- Why would I use a Home Manager to help sell my home?A Home Manager benefits the Homeowner by caring for the home and reducing the Homeowner's carrying costs. Some examples of carrying costs that a Home Manager would cover would be utilities, gas, water, and the ability to take advantage of the savings of our national insurance program. The Home Manager helps in the sales effort by readying the house for showings and through the added life and emotional appeal their belongings contribute. Homes staged with live-in Home Managers typically out-perform vacant homes by large margins.
- Is a Home Manager present during showings?No, Home Managers are not present during showings. Prospective buyers won't know that your home is even staged; it will simply look and feel like a homeowner lives in and loves the home. Everything is in its place and your home shows as well or better than it would if you still lived there.
- How is Showhomes different from others who offer staging services?Life sells homes. Buying a home is an emotional decision for most people and Showhomes is unique in the way it helps to sell homes. Using a live in Home Manager assures you that the entire home is staged to perfection and that it is always tuned up and in show-to-sell condition. Because of this, your home is far less vulnerable to low-ball offers than it would be if it were simply staged with furniture.
- Does Showhomes act as a Realtor?No. Showhomes provides staging services that make your home far more attractive to prospective buyers. Almost all Showhomes are listed by full-service Realtors. Showhomes does not represent buyers or sellers in the real estate transaction; that is the service your Realtor is trained and licensed to provide.
- Does Showhomes offer staging services without Home Managers?Yes. If you are interested in staging services without a Home Manager contact your local office. Pricing varies by location.
- Is smoking allowed in a Showhome?No. Our promise to homeowners is a smoke free home that appeals to the largest percentage of prospective buyers.
- What happens when a Showhome sells?As soon as you accept an offer, we begin the process of relocating our Home Manager. Unlike a tenant, our Home Managers are under contract to move on short notice and once we succeed in selling your home, we are often ready to begin staging another home. We return your home to you in as good or even better condition than when we received it and the new buyers get a fresh, clean home to move into.
- What are the benefits of being a Home Manager?Flexibility, low housing costs, short or long-term housing solution, no long term committment.
- Who provides the furnishings for a Showhome?A critical requirement of Home Managers is that they have an inventory of fine furniture and accessories that meets our quality standards that they move from house to house. Showhomes supplements furniture as needed for each home.
- How can I find out about becoming a Home Manager?Visit the Home Manager section of our website or click on "Locations" to talk to your local representative.
- How can I learn more about your services to Homeowners?Click on the locations page to contact your local representative for a free consultation.
- How do Showhomes services benefit a Realtor?Showhomes helps homeowners and their Realtors sell vacant homes faster and for higher prices. In today's market, staging a home with a live-in Home Manager can steeply reduce the amount of time the home sits on the market and bring in offers far above what a homeowner would get if the home remained vacant. For a Realtor, this means less hassle, faster sale, higher commission and a happier homeowner.
- Is there any cost to the Realtor?No. Showhomes is free to Realtors.
- How can I learn more about your services to Realtors?Click on the locations page to contact your local representative for a free consultation.
- How are home showings arranged?Realtors who use us often comment that Showhomes are the easiest to show; often they are easier to show than owner-occupied homes.
