For most people, the purchase or sale of a home represents the largest investment of a lifetime. Did you know that only 10% of people shopping for a new home have the vision to see their belongings in another house? Home staging brings a home to life and can be the key to creating an emotional connection in a potential buyer. Showhomes was a pioneer in home staging and continues as the leader in this fast growing industry.

We began our business in 1986 with the concept of transforming vacant houses - often seen by buyers as stale, lifeless, unappealing - into fully-furnished, inviting, valued Showhomes.

HOME STAGING

Experienced Real Estate Agents know that a home that is beautifully staged tends to sell faster than a house that is not. Also, vacant houses are often perceived to have a lower value than homes that are staged and can often receive "low-ball" offers from buyers who perceive that the owner is desperate to sell.
Showhomes provides customized staging solutions tailored to each home. Staging options include design and decorating by staging professionals, whole house staging or partial home stagings as well.
Showhomes is America's Leader in Home Staging with a proven method to stage and market your home for sale. Staging is the most effective way to sell properties in today's market.
"Home staging is no longer optional in this real estate market, but a MUST. It's what will make the difference in whether your home sells or not." - Real Estate Mogul Barbara Corcoran In today's real estate market, buyers have lots of choices when it comes to buying a home. Successful real estate agents know that beautifully designed and staged homes have more buyer appeal than vacant or non-staged homes. Statistics have shown that staged homes sell faster, bring higher offers and create happier sellers. Staging is the best marketing strategy available with proven results.
Why stage?Why showhomes?

Owner Occupied Homes New Homes
HOME UPDATING

No one wants to spend money on the home they are getting ready to sell. However, most buyers are looking for a move-in-ready house with fresh paint and flooring. Very few buyers want more work and expense to update the home they will purchase. To appeal to the broadest base of buyers and to increase the value of your home, a few changes can provide the greatest return on investment when selling your home. Beyond basic de-cluttering and cleaning, Showhomes can assist with making these important changes for you.

These guys are the best in the home staging business...highly recommended

Cheryl and David Olson (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough about Showhomes! Their service was beyond my wildest expectation. Their furnishings that were added to my empty home were gorgeous; the home looked better than when I lived there! They lovingly cared for the home and took care of every detail. There was not a single problem, not one. Kaye and Jim became like family to me. Honestly, I can't imagine what I would have done without them. There is not one thing I can think of that would have made my experience better. I admit that when I heard about the business model, I was skeptical. It seemed to make so much sense to me that it sounded too good to be true. Yet my experience was exactly what they purported it would be. YES YES YES I recommend them! You will not be sorry!

Lauren Brarens (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

Jim and Kaye are amazing! Their staging skills and service are unsurpassed. The BEST way to sell a home and get the best price possible is to use their services. You will not be disappointed!

Lauren Brarens (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

Beautiful staging! Jim & Kaye are delightful to work with. If you want your home to sell quickly and receive the BEST staging, Showhomes is the way to go!

Steve Williams (TN)

They are the best. Sell you listings faster and for more money.

Susan and Mitchell Levine (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

Professional and helpful. Quick communication. You guy's are head and shoulders above the rest!

Steve Williams (TN)

Jim & Kaye Biby and the Showhomes Team is an invaluable marketing tool for any vacant home we are asked to market & sell. They have the uncanny ability to turn a drab looking unfurnished home into a "Showhome". And these "Showhomes" alway's sell for more money and in less time than if they were left vacant. I have never hesitated to recommend them to my fellow RE Professionals.

mark hollingshead (TN)

Awesome communications. Very positive people Always there for your questions wanting you to be treated as a Special Person

Sharon McElney (TN)

Jim and Kay Biby are great to work with! I have trusted them to place home managers in numerous listings of mine and they always help to sell the houses!

Lynn Scheirer (TN)

Very professional prompt service. Homes are transformed from dull to beautiful and great plus in marketing a property! Kay is great to work with and I highly recommend her services.

Glenn Layton (Jacksonville FL)

Showhomes has exceeded our expectations with the quality of the furniture as well as the accessories for a complete model staging.

I highly recommend Showhomes for all of your staging needs.

Julie Childers (TN)

We love showhomes! Kay and Jim are always willing to try to figure out a solution for me and my clients. Kaye has extraordinary taste and always makes a home look amazing. They have great taste in furniture and in selecting what goes into a home to match the feel of the home. They are the best find I have found in a long time!!

Sharon McElney (TN)

Jim and Kay Biby run a very good company and service to us Realtors who are trying to sell vacant higher end listings. I've used them many times and always recommend that my sellers get in touch with them if they are selling a vacant home. They are honest and dependable. They are the only company of that kind that I recommend because others aren't as reliable or honest. Their services have helped sell many of my listings in Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club. Once they have someone move into a vacant listing, it instantly transforms that vacant house into a warm and inviting home. This translates into buyers seeing themselves living there!

Joseph Montaldo (Jacksonville FL)

We like many features of having a home manager from showhomes. 1. Having the home lived in while still having a neat and clean look at all time. 2. The furniture selection has been ideal for a warm and inviting showing. 3. Having a home manager living in the home helps security, a vacant home can be an invitation for vandalism. 4. Any issues ie: Leaks, busted water pipes, bad appliances, HVAC units etc gets reported and can be addressed before damage occurs 5. Some bills are paid for by the home manager. Jim and family have been very helpful with our listing. Thank you!

Walter and Susanne Alford (Jacksonville Beach FL)

They staged our home beautifully, kept it in show ready state and watched over the property as if it were their own. Really good and honest and delightful people.

Jeffrey and Susan Drain (Jacksonville FL)

Clear communications, respect for my home, prompt response to emails/texts.

Celeste Werkheiser (TN)

I have been a Showhomes home manager in Jacksonville, Florida for two years. We live in a beautiful, large home 2 miles from the beach and don't have a huge mortgage hanging over our head. We get to live in lovely homes and when they sell, we simply move to the next one. It is a win/win situation. The home looks lovely staged with our furniture while on the market and I get to live in luxury! A house on the market shows better with furniture in it, rather than being empty with cobwebs in the corner! Call Showhomes today! Try something new! They will help you sell that house!

Jerry Thomas (TN)

The most professional and reliable service of its kind.

Linda McMorrow (TN)

Your wonderful house manager, Buzz Thomas! I know that my listing will always be in perfect condition for every showing! Having Buzz in my listing means it will SELL,

Very professional.

9/2014 (FL)

Ease of showing the home as well as the quality of the home furnishings. More so, I also have to mention what a help and blessing the home manager was. Jim & Kay are truly professional and a pleasure to deal with. No one lost focus on the home receiving an offer being the #1 priority.

Courteous, professional and knowledgeable of what is needed for the home. The home managers placed in the home do what they agree to!!!!

When my vacant listings have your house managers In them I know that they are being well cared for, show beautifully, are easy for other agents to show and sell faster. It is a huge benefit for my clients as someone is taking the financial burden of utilities and yard and pool care off of them and they have no worries that their insurance may be cancelled. I love your program and recommend it to my clients at every opportunity. Linda McMorrow The Legends of Real Estate

Everything! The communication, the condition of our home, the staging, the professionalism...everything was beyond our expectations.

New to showhomes but so far it has been a great experience. Great people who are the owners of Showhomes .

8/2013 (Jacksonville FL)

Everything went very well. Would recommend them anytime.

8/2013 (Ponte Vedra FL)

What I like best about your services is that it is run by a professional, family-oriented group of people that strive for excellence!

8/2013 (Jacksonville FL)

The folks were extremely easy to work with and very accommodating. The young man who lived in our home was always attentive, and the house was always immaculate! My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend Showhomes. There is a real safety factor in having someone there all the time if a water pipe breaks, someone tries to rob the house, etc.

Bill Fitzgerald (Ponte Vedra FL)

EVERYTHING, SHOWHOMES OF JACKSONVILLE IS THE SHOWHOMES OF ALL SHOWHOMES, CAN"T GET ANY BETTER !!! Bill Fitzgerald

6/13 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Showhomes does a great job of vetting potential home managers to insure a good fit, which is a huge relief to the owner. They followed up well during the duration of the managers' stay and were very diligent in making sure that the home was always in good shape for showing, the most important consideration for the owner trying to sell. Attention to detail and thorough communications with the owner were much appreciated during the entire experience with Showhomes. All in all a great job. Charles Teller

4/13 (Jacksonville FL)

The Showhome Managers were absolutely essential in the successful sale of my home. Through use of their service my home was occupied during the sale period , the home was displayed with upscale furnishings and definitely made a very appealing presentation to potential buyers. I also had the secure feeling that my home was well cared for when I moved out of town. E. Herdman

11/12 (Ponte Vedra FL)

The professionalism, kindness and sense of urgency to get our lives to normalcy during the move made all aspects of our move worthwhile. Thank you for this! Ron & Susie Longan

11/12 (Jacksonville FL)

Jim resembles the highest of integrity. I respect and appreciate his business sense and commitment to uphold their integrity. Even though our home did not sell it was not the fault of Showhomes and the manager's that we had. Dirk Anderson

10/12 (Ponte Vedra FL)

I love the professional look you give to properties and the needs of the Seller. I am so impressed with the integrity that you live in order to help those in need in all walks of life. It is such a pleasure at any opportunity that I have to be able to say to my customer, I have just the company to help you. On a scale of 1 - 10 you are at least 110. You're the Best of the Best. Deb Petry/Prudential

9/12 (Jacksonville FL)

Wonderful people and easy to work with!

9/12 (Jacksonville/Ponte Vedra FL)

Jim Biby and Showhomes were fantastic to work with. When our realtor recommended professional staging, we were a little hesitant, but the home had a unique layout that really needed that "lived-in" feel. Showhomes truly is a "win, win, win" for all parties involved. The home sold in four months, which is quite an achievement for a $1 million + home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Showhomes to anyone. The St. Joe Co./Stephen Powers

9/12 (Jacksonville FL)

The staging is beautiful. I have used showhomes as house managers and the homes always sell. I have also just had them stage my occupied homes. It makes such a difference. I wish all my sellers would listen to me and use your services. Staging works! Linda

9/2012 (Jacksonville FL)

I liked how you came into my home and made it look ready to show. It was really great. If I ever sell again I will definately call you. Thanks for everything you did. Donna Brooks

8/2012 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Being a home manager is a good alternative for us right now. I think Showhomes - Jacksonville carefully considered how best to use us in that role. They also expended a considerable amount of effort to get us relocated on short notice.

2/22/2012 (FL)

Service was excellent in every aspect. The staging of our home was beautiful. Dr. Fink

2/25/2012 (St Augustine FL)

My properties show GREAT and that increases the odds of property getting SOLD. The Biby’s put on an awesome luncheon to help drive traffic to my listings. They have a true passion for helping everyone involved in the Showhomes program, the Realtor, Home owner and Home manager. David Neaves/Watson Realty

3/9/2012 (Jacksonville FL)

The fact that a lease does not have to be signed provides the flexibility our family needs at this time. I also like the coordination and assistance in moving we received. Bonnie Rouls

5-15-2012 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Dependable and worry free. Showhomes not only staged and decorated our home they also notify us with any concerns that arise at the house. We would certainly use them again and also recommend them. Ed and Barbara Green

5/30/2012 (Ponte Vedra FL)

My husband & I have just purchased our new home In Ponte Vedra Beach Fl. Our new home was staged by "Showhomes" of Jacksonville. The staging was a huge selling point in our decision to purchase this home. The staging with beautiful furniture, colors to give the home some "pop"& the choice of colors that blend well with the existing drapes & window treatments was gorgeous. I would recommend this company, "Showhomes Jacksonville" to any seller of a home. It is quite amazing how having the correct furniture in showcasing a home can truly make a huge difference in the appearance of a home. So, if you are selling your home, be certain to hire this company to do your "staging". They really know their business and are honest & hard-working people. Their hard work and expertise are evident! We buyers appreciate the "look" they created in order to appeal to us. Thank you "Showhomes"!!! Sincerely, Louis Skogen & Ginny May

6/9/2012 (Jacksonville FL)

Showhomes and the Biby’s provided professional individual service that meet specific needs of the customers. They used quality furnishings that displayed the best options of each room designed. Kaye and her team placed the furnishings in the home without marking any of the walls or carpet and removed the furnishing upon request after my home sold. I will definitely recommend the Biby family and their Showhomes Franchise to other customers. It helps vacant homes sell quickly and for a higher price. I will also use Showhomes to update a home that has lost its luster. Thank you for your exquisite service. Karen Cook / Watson

2/8/2012 (San Marco FL)

I appreciate the professionalism of the Showhomes staff. They show true concern about me and my family. They are VERY supportive with my moves. Jerry Thomas / Home Manager

2-3-2012 (Jacksonville FL)

It's nice to know that a home is in showing condition at any time on a very short notice. We were never told that the timing was not good. David Butler / Watson

2/2/2012 (Jacksonville FL)

Showhomes is amazing! It really makes such a difference. All sellers should do this. It shortens the time on the maket and gives a greater sales price. I love the fact that I do not have to continually check on the home. I have always had a positive experience is showing the homes and in using them for my listings. Linda Smith / Watson

2/1/2012 (Jacksonville FL)

It is the 21st century of presenting homes for sale. This service meets the needs of the seller, buyer, realtor and home managers as no other program. Confidence,security, and professionalism are key aspects . Richard Anderson

02-01-2012 (Jacksonville FL)

I have found Showhomes and their Home Managers to be wonderful to work with. Because of Jared and your expertise in finding great home managers and Kaye's decorating ability, the program for me and my customers has been a great success. Sharon Mills / Watson

1-23-2012 (Ponte Vedra FL)

The service, the home managers, the staging and decorating, along with taking care of the property keeping it in showing condition are all excellent. Joni Zwick Watson - Ponte Vedra

1-23-2012 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Customer service is fantastic. Jim and Jared are quick to return messages and pick up their phone. The Biby's go beyond the call of duty when ever there is a problem to solve. The Biby's integrity, honesty,grace, and dignity at all times makes me proud to know them. I have always been beyond pleased with their choice of home managers and the staging of the homes they contract. My customers have always been satisfied and felt the service the Biby's provide is nothing less than fabulous. Wanda Peterson / Re/Max

1-21-2012 (St Augustine / Jacksonville FL)

When you stage my vacant properties, they always show GREAT which increase my odds of selling the property faster and for more money. I have used Showhomes multiple times with pleasure and ALL PROPERTIES HAVE SOLD. Jim, Kaye and Jared as well as there home managers are very professional to deal with! David Neaves / Watson

1-20-2012 (Jacksonville FL)

The Biby's run a very professional business. I was very pleased with the home manager that staged one of my listings. It sold pretty quickly and everyone who showed it just loved the way it looked. The home managers had beautiful furnishings and just made the house look elegant. Their photographer made gorgeous pictures that I was given for marketing materials. They were just wonderful. I have recommended them to another seller and look forward to getting that sold. We make a great team! Julie Thompson / Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty

7/2011 (Jacksonville FL)

Kaye, I want to reiterate what I've already told you on several occasions. You and Showhomes are the reason I am in my house today. Paulette and I had looked at this house at least a dozen times over the last three years. While she really liked the house, I could never get comfortable with it until I saw your staging of the home. One trip in the house with your furniture and personal touches, I was convinced I could indeed make this my home. Two months into being here, I'm certainly glad we made the decision to purchase this house. Thank you for your role in getting this deal done. Also, please feel free to provide my name as a reference for your services. Again, thank you! Joe and Paulette Debs

11/2010 (Ponte Vedra FL)

The Listin' With Kristan Team Showhomes experience: It's a tough time for sellers in today's market. It's an even tougher time for seller's of unoccupied homes. With all the competition/inventory out there it's a fact that in order to sell a home for as much as the market will bear, it MUST shine like a new penny. A key ingredient to accomplishing this goal is having that empty home staged. All of the vacant homes that I staged with Showhomes are now sold! Even more impressive is their time on market after Showhomes moved into the home -- an average of 83 days. Home #1- move in date was July 9, 2009 under contract on November 13, 2009. Just 127 days! DOM 417 Home #2- move in date was May 5, 2010 under contract on July 8, 2010. Only 59 days! DOM 246 Home #3- move in date was July 8, 2010 under contract on September 8, 2010. Only 62 days! DOM 204 These statistics speak for themselves. However, in addition to helping us get the job done, the staff at Showhomes Jacksonville are incredibly easy to work with and very professional. They always went above and beyond for the seller and for my team during the entire transaction. I would highly recommend them if you are interested in getting your home/listing sold faster! Kristan Cloud-Malin, PA Keller Williams Atlantic Partners

11/2010 (Jacksonville FL)

Kaye! I have just returned from the property on Sanctuary Lane and I just want to say again that you are the world's best stager! All the difficult aspects of the floor plan have disappeared! I love the way you handled the great room and the guest suites and the dining room and the master bath! I must say now that I have seen the office in person, it looks wonderful. The picture had elongated the room and made it look like one end of the room was the office. I will heartily recommend you and the Showhomes concept again and again! Katharine Jones, Broker

3/2010 (Jacksonville FL)

We were extremely pleased with the Showhomes team during the marketing and sale of our house. They did a great job staging the house and were always ready to show it on a moment's notice. The Home Managers cared for house with the same attention that we would have given it. Once we had a contract they worked closely with us and remained flexible during all of the inspections, repairs and walk-through. They scheduled their move once we had confirmation of the closing and left the house clean and neat and ready for the new owners. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would use Showhomes again without hesitation and highly recommend them. Showhomes makes selling a house an enjoyable experience instead of a stressful one. We thank you for all of the help. It truly made our year of waiting for the sale much more relaxed and tolerable. It couldn't have happened without you. All the best to you, Shelley and Dave Turner

1/2010 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Thanks so much Jim, The house looked spotless and in perfect condition. Your assistance in selling this property was invaluable. Molly Thompson, Prudential Network Realty

1/2010 (St Augustine FL)

"Prior to Show Homes occupying this house I had consistent Realtor and buyer feedback was that the yard was too small. Since the Home Manager has moved in my feedback totally changed to it is a beautiful home at a fair price. No one mentions the yard anymore." Cammy Ray, Watson Realty Corp.

1/2010 (Ponte Vedra FL)

I have long been a huge fan of Showhomes and have many happy sellers who have used your services. But, until you staged and managed our personal home, did I realize the true value of Showhomes. Our home manager, Robert, was always courteous and ready to have the house shown whenever he got the call. All Realtors remarked about how well the house showed, and then we got that all important offer! For us, the home owners, it was total peace of mind once you and your team took over. We cannot thank you enough! Please feel free to give anyone my name and phone number as a reference. Jackie Ross, Prudential Network Realty

10/2009 (Jacksonville FL)

I used Showhomes for a $2M listing on the river this year and successfully sold the home. Their staging played a VERY large part in the sale. The business concept is great and the Biby family are very professional. They honored every promise made and worked above and beyond! They provided a catered Broker's Luncheon that really got the word out! I picked up a $1M buyer from this listing who closed on an oceanfront condo last month. I wouldn't use any other firm. I know you'll be happy. Sandy Steiner, Re/Max Specialist

8/2009 (Jacksonville FL)

Heritage Bank Senior Vice President Greg Totten was a skeptic when he decided to try using a home staging company to sell a bank-owned property that had been on the market in Queens Harbour for nearly a year at $2 million. After a home manager moved in and staged the 6,000-square-foot home, the number of showings increased as well as the dollar amount of the offers before it went under contract in September to sell for $1.5 million. Totten is now a believer in home staging. Greg Totten, Heritage Bank Senior Vice President

8/2009 (Jacksonville FL)

We have really enjoyed working with Showhomes. You and Jared are too really classy guys and very respectable businessmen. Wendy H.

5/2008 (Jacksonville FL)

Thank you Showhomes Jacksonville. We found our dream home and purchased it before we sold our home. This left us with additional carrying costs. Our Realtor suggested numerous price reductions with no results, and then she called Showhomes to the rescue. The Showhomes Home Manager program alleviated the additional costs of electric, pool, and landscape bills. Best of all our home SOLD 3 months later. Thanks again! Mike and Chantal Peterson

1/2009 (Jacksonville FL)

We are grateful to Showhomes-Jacksonville. Jim, Kaye and Jared transformed, updated and showed the true potential of our vacant home. We entrusted the Jacksonville property to the care of Showhomes to stage and manage at the end of October 2008. It was a blessing to have such a professional staff looking after our home while we were 800 miles away. Showhomes exceeded all my expectations. Jim was extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We were under contract in January 2009! Carol Nichols, Little Rock, AR

1/2009 (Mandarin FL)

Jim, your company did an excellent job of staging our home. Gary and I are just thrilled! We will use your company again should we decide to sell our current home. Please know we will refer others to you. Thank you, Valarie

11/2008 (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

I really believe your service is a "win, win" for all involved. Your Home Managers get a good deal on a nice home, and the sellers have someone in their house who keep it "show ready", which helps get the house sold. The house sold in under 50 days after Showhomes staged and started maintaining our home. Thanks for all your help! Mary Crowe

9/2008 (Jacksonville Beach FL)

Hi Jim and Kaye, I wanted to let you know how pleased everyone involved has been with the results at 10th Ave N in Jacksonville Beach. Showings go well and the Realtor open house was a hit thanks to your choice and placement of furniture. Feel free to call me anytime for a reference. Best regards, Mike Brennan with Watson Realty Corp.

9/2007 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Thank you so much for all your company did in helping me sell my home in Old Ponte Vedra. The house was on the market for seventeen months before your company moved in a home manager. Within 5 weeks of your manager's moving in I closed with a very attractive price. In the current market, that is quite a feat. Not only did the home sell, but the service that you provided made it one of the easiest transactions I have ever been a party too. I enjoyed working with you, and pass on my highest recommendation to future clients. Sincerely, Kelly Stokes

5/2008 (Ponte Vedra FL)

Your service was invaluable to the situation with which I was confronted and I know that you went above and beyond on several occasions to accommodate vendors and prospective buyers during the listing phase. I do not want you to think it was not noticed or appreciated. Scott J. Rynearson, Trustee

4/2008 (Ponte Vedra FL)

My experience with Showhomes has been wonderful! I remember walking through my new listing in Sawgrass wondering how I was ever going to sell the home. Though it was a great house, it was vacant and felt stale and cold. We had a few showings, but no serious interest. Then, Showhomes moved in and transformed the vacant house to a warm, cozy, beautiful home. I was amazed that it was actually the same house! We had a showing within a few days, an immediate offer, and sold the home! It was a pleasure to work with Jim & Kaye Biby; I would highly recommend Showhomes to anyone wanting to get a home sold. Christie Neuman Adeeb

9/2006 (Ponte Vedra Beach FL)

"I want to thank you for how helpful Showhomes has been! The condition of the home has been excellent every time we have seen it. If I had known your company existed earlier, I would have contacted you." Dr. Pack's 1.2 million dollar Marsh Landing home sold in less than 45 days with Showhomes after over a year on the market.

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.
What markets does Showhomes serve?
Showhomes is growing! To see what markets we serve, click on the Locations page.
