At first I was skeptical to have my house staged but my realtor convinced me otherwise. I’m happy that I did. Although I haven’t seen it yet in person as I now live in San Diego, the photos speak for themselves. The arrangements, decorations & everything are nicely done. I keep looking at those photos & can’t believe sometimes that it is my house. You guys are awesome & did a fantastic job. Thank you so much!

Bob and his team did a fantastic job of staging the home I listed. His services were above and beyond expectations. The staging and design services made the unique custom home show at its best bringing top dollar -- well above asking with multiple offers. The home was move in ready once sold, this was due to Bob's design implementation which included new carpet and paint.
He was very flexible and did a lot to make the project a success arranging subcontractors which freed me up considerably.
I will use Showhomes again and again.

Donna Muelver, SE WI: Testimonial from Michelle Sifford! WoW! Great service is very far reaching! expand »
Donna -
Thought I would pass on something that happened in a sales meeting last week.
An agent at Long and Foster met our marketing manager a while back and after learning about Showhomes she contacted her sister in Milwaukee and told her about what Showhomes can do. She said her sister owned a house priced around $1M and hired you all. She said her sister was thrilled with you did for them and they couldn't be happier with the results (I wasn't clear about if the home has sold or not). So she got up at the sales meeting and told everyone about how great Showhomes is and highly recommended our services to their clients with vacant properties.
Thank you for doing such an amazing job that an agent across the country would feel compelled to tell everyone about her super happy sister and the great people in Milwaukee that made their lives so much better!!
I would put this on Yammer but after having my computer fixed I've lost the connection... feel free to post it J

Hi Bob,
I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful staging that you and your creative team did at my recent listing at 104 Landrum Circle. The seller and I are so impressed how you were able to use her existing furniture and accessories, and turn the house into a showhome worthy of a glossy magazine! I am positive the turn-key appearance resulted in the nearly full price offer we received within two weeks of list date. I will definitely be calling on you for staging my next custom home, Bob.
Once again, many thanks and appreciation to you and your Showhome Team.
Gillian.

Dear Bob,
We believe that the staging Showhomes of Folsom Lake did contributed to the great offers that came in within days of our home's listing. The people who viewed the home commented on how the home looked bigger than its actual size and how they could utilize the space. The staff was truly committed to improving our chance of selling the home at a great price.

Everyone loved the house and I know the staging played and made an impression on all the people. Everyone loved the decorations and wanted to buy the furniture and items.
Many comments were:
"this is so well designed and everything fits well in here"
"who did the decoration?"
"wow I love this house does the furniture come with it"
"OMG this is so nice".
Thank you for making this happen and thank you for all that you done from all of us. Other realtors picked up you cards also.

Hi Bob,
It was listed at $118,000 and sold for $121,500. Day’s on market officially
is 7, but it was really sold right away because we had multiple offers.
The home was in great shape, even the appraiser noted in his report that the
remodel work was done well. Your staging of course put the icing on the
cake. Buyer loved the dish that her agent purchased off you. This whole
experience with you and your team at Showhomes was great.

Bob,
As a successful realtor/investor, even in this market, I have found staging to be tantamount to selling a home in the shortest period of time. STAGE YOUR HOME! It shows better- and it's easier for buyers to"see" the purpose for each room- and picture living there- empty rooms do not look inviting and tend to look smaller then they are. Staging allows buyers to see the possibilities a home holds for them. Add to that, my staged listings get more $$ as well.
Without a doubt using Showhomes to stage your home will help sell it faster and for more $$. And it is much cheaper to stage than to continually lower your asking price!
Warmest Regards,
Mary Pizzimenti,

Showhomes did a great job making my home show the best it could while up for sale. I received a number of comments from agents before and after Showhomes and all commented on how nice the house looked after Showhomes did their magic. Also, being several hundred miles away, it was comforting to know that someone was there taking care of the house making sure that it was not only presentable but secure as well. Many thanks to Showhomes. I would not hesitate using their services in the future.

Again, sorry for the very last minute notice this past weekend that I was at the property to pick up my trailer. I did want to let you know that we got back at 7:00 after grabbing dinner and he was already there with both boats moved. He was very polite even though it was my fault for making him get there at the last minute. He is a great guy and did a fantastic job keeping the house up for me. I hear that he has managed to move into another home for you and I think that is great. He seems like a great guy to hire as a property manager.
Again, thanks for your services and all the efforts to get the house sold.

With a blank slate, Showhomes of Folsom Lake came in and turned a vacant property into a gorgeous show piece. During our open house weekend, every prospective buyer commented as to how well the home was appointed. The design was well thought out, using clean lines, contemporary décor which provided an inviting atmosphere, etc. I could not have asked for anything better. Showhomes of Folsom Lake did a fabulous job and will be my choice in the future to decorate vacant listing, or to provide that professional advice to help change a house for sale into an impressive and welcoming home.

I would like to take this moment to share the experience we have had using Showhomes. My husband was transferred out of state with his company. Our home was not sold yet, and we needed to move. I was feeling very uncomfortable leaving our house vacant. Our Realtor told us about Showhomes, and my husband had just seen a program about them on TV a few weeks earlier. After talking with Michael from Showhomes, it was a no brainer. We hired them to have a home manager stay in our house until it was sold. Utilities and lawn service would be taken care of by the home managers. It was so nice to have the peace of mind knowing that our house would not be vacant while we were out of state. They staged the home beautifully - it looked warm and inviting for the photos online and when the house was shown to potential buyers. Our house sold 6 weeks after we left! Thank you Showhomes. I will be recommending you to all of our friends!

Good morning, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the opportunity to have you stage the house. I loved what you, Robert and staff did with the house - it was incredible! I do believe that staging has a lot to do with the sale of the house so quickly! Arleen took some great pictures to post on MLS and actually we had an offer before the 1:00 open house the next day! We were ecstatic!.
Our investing group knows about you too. James, who takes interested prospects through on Real Deal Tours each week had noticed when they were bringing in the furniture and called me to say how spectacular it looked, what a difference it makes -- no echo!
We have another deal we are speculating on and plan to close end of this month in Carmichael. Not sure though if we plan to hold it as an investment or not at this point, but have others in the works to possibly have you stage in the future, so letting you know we definitely will be using your staging services again in the future! Appreciate your great work to all who were involved.
Thank you!

"Outstanding Service! We were "old school", having thought that selling an empty house was just fine. Little did we know that times have changed and we were advised to have our house staged in order to get a better price and better results. Bob, Amber, and the Showhomes team were professional, on time, and staged our house as scheduled. The furnishings were beautiful and gave each room a current and new, inviting look. Needless to say, we sold our house in less than 1 week, received multiple offers, got full asking price, and more money per square foot than any other home in our area. We had one couple who wanted our home including all the furnishings. We would highly recommend Showhomes Folsom to anyone who is planning on selling. Great Company!"

Bob’s team Liza Seipel is outstanding! She is very professional and talented in many aspects of interior design. Her extra effort is way beyond just home staging. She will help to host open house; she will turn on the AC for you before scheduled showing in the hot summer days. She is always reachable and enthusiastic to help.

Initially we met with Amber several times and she explained to us how she plans to decorate the house with all the necessary details, she was very patient with us in trying to understand our concerns and addressed each issue correctly. It was a pleasure to work with her. As per the schedule later she brought all her furniture and decorative items and staged the home in about 2-days. Every thing was per schedule no delays. Bob and Amber did a fantastic job in staging. Folks who visited our house at open houses or otherwise appreciated the decorations and the staging. We were happy with the genuine ideas Bob and Amber had in putting the whole staging. logistically we had not issue and of course the staging was very appropriate.

Showhomes of Folsom Lake did a fantastic job staging a home my team had listed. They took it from "vanilla" to "wow!" in under two days. The home had been sitting on the market for a couple of months and after her staging, it received an offer the first day back on the market!! Thank you so much Showhomes! - Charlotte M

Showhomes is an amazing design associate to work with. They transformed a home that had previously been a rental to a glamorous home with there selections of furniture pieces, accessories and placement. In addition, at my request, I asked them to help my mother transform a plain 700 sq ft apartment to a home that my mother would be proud of. With only a budget of $2,500 their furniture selections were outstanding and the placement of the pieces were spot on.
My mother feels like a queen!

Thank you for incorporating some of our pieces, and making our home look welcoming for prospective buyers. We were able to secure an offer on the property on the second day of open house; thanks to your staging! - Berlito and Nancy C

Showhomes is wonderful and their crew did a great job staging our home to sell. Our home sold the first weekend for $10,000 over asking. I believe in the end paying to have it staged paid for itself and then some! - Paige S

The Showhomes team are exceptional in every way with the utmost professionalism. They updated me more than I ever expected and is so encouraging with their positive and encouraging comments. We consistently got outstanding feedback from all who viewed our home especially related to the interior staging. Showhomes is exceptionally gifted in vision and design. I've never seen our home look so good. Showhomes was able to use their design to highlight the beautiful features of the home. I wish I could hire them for our new home. Showhomes is amazing and wonderful in every way. I'm confident in them and their work and wouldn't hesitate hiring them in a hot minute again. You will never regret it! - Helena V

Showhomes of Folsom Lake was recommended to us by a friend in the Real Estate Industry, after seeing the wonderful job they did with her listing. While I believe every home benefits from the ideas of a good Designer, there are some homes that just NEED it. My husband and I had one of those homes! We had just finished a complete remodel of a home we were getting ready to sell. The home was spectacular! We had beautiful finishes, gorgeous colors, elegant features, but because of the open floor plan, it needed to be "cozied up". Bob and his team did exactly that. The home was beautiful before they stepped in, it was a TOTALLY different home when they were done! I mean GORGEOUS!!

Showhomes staged our home beautifully! I needed this house to sell and knew we needed to stage to show buyer our vision when we built the home. Showhomes exceeded our expectations and went over and above to make sure our house looked its best for the first "open house"! We recommend Showhomes to all who want to their homes to sell fast and for over listing price!

We were very impressed with Showhomes. The staff was knowledgeable, efficient and paid attention to small details to show the home in the best possible light. Furniture, lamps, Curtains, toss pillows, vases with flowers & plants and arrangements that helped viewers realize the potential of this property was just what was needed to sell this home. They were prompt and responsive in all things. We can recommend them with no hesitation.

Showhomes sold my listing. The home did not show well. The home was a bit dated and tied. Showhomes staged the house and all comments changed from negative to this house is ready to move in.... Staging with Showhomes works!

We were extremely pleased with your staging of the home we had for sale on Freeport Blvd. in Sacramento. The staging was in the correct scale with a smaller home and the accents were right on. The home sold quickly and I think your staging certainly helped speed the sale.
We would recommend your firm to anyone and if the need arises would hire you again.
Thanks so much.

Bob was fabulous to work with! I had to do everything long distance and he made me feel secure in my decision to use his company. I couldn't find anyone to call me back about staging this home. Bob was referred to me by another Showhomes Stager from across the country. I originally did the staging to rent the property but then decided to sell. I had an offer within 2 days of being on market! The house is sold and closing the first week of October. Thank you, Bob!

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. All Showhomes are available to show by appointment. Simply call the local Showhomes contact and make the showing appointment and we'll ensure that the home is available to show.
