Marie Colette (IL)

The staging that you do always enhances the property! If only clients would listen to us!

Elaine Birnholz (Northbrook IL)

Our home looks absolutely lovely, and it's immaculately clean and tidy. Your group has gone above and beyond for us and we are most appreciative.

Corky Peterson (Lake Bluff IL)

It was a painless and seamless process to successfully stage Barbara and staff terrific

Marie Colette (IL)

Always creative and crisp

Glo Matlin (IL)

Courteous people all the way around!!!!

Thomas Danneker (Lake Forest IL)

Barbara and Christian were wonderful to work with. They did an amazing job to get our home ready for the sale! We would definitely recommend and use them again

Howard Jessen (Tuscon AZ)

Very professional and wonderful experience! My home sold 2 days after being staged. It was previously listed for a month with no offers. Barb does a phenomenal job and I highly recommend her!

Elaine Bykerk Glidden (IL)

Very easy to work with and different than other staging companies. Love having a property manager who oversees the house. Their staging is beautiful and really transformed my property!!

Susan Levinson (Winnetka IL)

Everything! First- the home looked great so we got an offer right away. After that the buyer came back quite a few times to show their future new home to family members. With the staging in place the house always looked good and the family gave their “seal of approval “ every time. The house manager was extremely cooperative no matter how many times we imposed on her for all those additional visits. Showhomes moved in and out without the homeowner or the broker (me) having to do anything. They paid the utilities, shoveled the snow and employed a cleaning service after moving out. It was a total “win-win” for us!

Dale Vanderwerff (IL)

They did what they said they would and they helped to sell my home. I would highly recommend their services.

Deborah Shortridge (Noprthbrook IL)

The staging beautified my house and the house manager was a great on-site resource. I had a contract within days of the staging efforts.

Parlin Jessen (Highland Park IL)

Barb does an amazing job! I had a home listed for a few weeks without any offers. Barb then staged the home beautifully and it was a night and day difference. Two days later I had an over ask offer. She's amazing at what she does and will undoubtedly help with the sale of any home!

Great service from beautiful staging, a great resource for exceptional referrals of additional trades, and a house manager. What could be better. All of your staging needs met and Showhome's final project is the best.

Ann Lyon (IL)

Barbara Bliss and Showhomes always do an amazing job transforming houses into homes!

Stafford OKelly (Hollywood FL)

Very well organized

Jeff Soprani (Ivanhoe IL)

Efficient

B. Mazzetta (IL)

The staging was beautiful and helped sell the house. Everyone was easy to work with.

Joanne S. (Northfield IL)

We loved working with Showhomes and the house managers who lived in our house were fantastic. When we needed anything done at the house we were a team who worked together to get it done. They did a good job decorating our house and when our house sold their cleanup was immaculate. I would say this is a 10 star company.

Howard Malovany (Brasstown NC)

Easy. Complete. Effective.

Mimma Meucci (Lake Forest IL)

Barb was easy to work with and I absolutely loved how she staged the home!

Chris Puszynski (TN)

Showhomes has a creative approach when staging homes. The result is warm, comfortable, inviting yet sophisticated, not always easy to accomplish. The program terms for the homeowner are very attractive allowing most homeowners the opportunity to hire Showhomes to transform their homes before selling, making them more appealing and saleable.

Kim Alden (IL)

Super easy to work with. Staging helps sell vacant homes.

Mary Dallas Cole (IL)

My sellers had a beautiful home that was in perfect condition. But their furnishings just missed the mark a bit. Showhomes suggested they repaint the interior (which had recently been repainted, but the color wasn’t quite right) and suggested a color, and my clients did that. My clients moved out and Showhomes staged the house and it looked fabulous. No doubt in my mind that this is the reason the house sold shortly after it was staged despite a sluggish (at the time) market. Well done.

Linda Martin (IL)

Our home managers are terrific as is Ashley Tuttle with responses and requests for open houses.

Terri Kreutzer (IL)

I love the flexibility and it allows me to live in a beautifully, decorated home for a reasonable fee. I felt like I was at home very quickly and liked that there aren’t a lot of rules or restrictions on having guests over to the house, as long as I keep the home in show condition.

Marcia Vecchione (TN)

They do a beautiful job of staging, providing advice to the client and coordinating the work. Barbara and the team are always available to answer questions on a timely basis. Their photographer is excellent. A great group to work with!

Ted Pickus (IL)

Always enjoy and happy with working with Showhomes, Barbara is great. Always attentive to the market and my clients needs.

Ronald Sonenthal (Highland Park IL)

Very professional. They helped generate the "buzz" that finally got our house sold.

Michael Caponigro (IL)

This is a great company with great people. Ive been a home manager for 21/2 yrs and it’s been a great experience. Barbara and Ashley are providing the home owner with a very valuable service.

Ralph Hansen (IL)

We have worked with Showhomes of North Shore-Barrington for over two years and have been involved in four home sale transactions. Barbara Bliss and her team are highly professional and very talented. Each of the homes they have staged has sold and the homeowners all have been very happy with the service. As Home Managers, we have been treated with courtesy, respect, and consideration. We highly recommend Showhomes of North Shore-Barrington to anyone who is seeking to sell their home especially those who have homes that are in need of renovation and redecoration. We give Barbara Bliss and her team a Five Star Rating.

Sonia Cohen (IL)

The house managers that I have worked with have been very clean and easy to work with. They also do a good job with staging.

Robert Fiore (IL)

Wonderful client service

Jean Anderson (Lake Forest IL)

Just having the homes ready to show.

Renuka D. (Lake Forest IL)

They are really good to work with. I had issue once and Barbara personally took interest and took care of the problem. I would recommend them to my friends. They are very cooperative.

Heather Fowler (IL)

Barbara has fantastic style and is great to work with!

Irma Cosic (IL)

Barb, the franchise owner, has a great selection of homes for home managers and is open to adding any additional items one might need. Great experience thus far and would highly recommend to anyone looking for home staging services. Thank you Barb and team for the work you do!

Panthipa Neumson (IL)

The best!

Chris Veech (IL)

Showhomes rocks! Staging and a home manager are the best combo package for my vacant listings. Barbara is great!

Edie Love (Lincolnshire IL)

House looks great and got a very positive response from brokers today at the broker open house. Hope that is the secret sauce we need to sell the house.

Ralph H. (Lake Forest IL)

This is truly a top notch professional organization that gets real results. We have worked with them and they are producers, especially in a difficult market such as we are dealing with now . Five stars.

Michael B. (Lake Forest IL)

Flexibility, responsive staff, pleasant homes.

Richard B. (Wilmette IL)

ShowHomes has brought out the best features of our House by updating our decorating and greatly increasing the Home's eye appeal. We get consistently favorable feedback from prospective buyers. We have utilized ShowHome's Home Manager option which greatly relieves the burden of preparing the house for visits by prospective buyers and allowed us to move to other quarters more suitable to our needs at our current age.

Arla Unwin (Northbrook IL)

Agents don't have to lift a finger to get the house staged and the home manager in. Also, it is great to have a brokers' open house sponsored by Barbara. The staging itself is beautiful. Hoping it will help sell the property shortly after the beginning of the new year.

Jennifer C. (Lake Bluff IL)

House was on the market for over a year and never sold...after seven days with Showhomes it got a fantastic cash offer and will sell in 45 days. What more could you ask for?

Irma C. (Lake Bluff IL)

Barb, the franchise owner, has been wonderful in securing homes that are appealing to me and supplementing furnishings that complement my own. As someone who travels extensively for business, it is greatly appreciated that she and her team make themselves available after regular business hours and on weekends to address any questions or concerns. Enjoying my experience thus far and would highly recommend Showhomes to friends and potential sellers looking for staging referral.

Dave M. (Barrington IL)

They are the best!

Steve S. (Lake Forest IL)

Quick to respond. Very cooperative home manager. Nice furnishings.

Ralph H. (Lake Forest IL)

Very professional and knowledgeable people !

Nancy (Lake Forest IL)

I just had a great experience with her company and the home managers she put in my listing. They did an awesome job - and it was a very reasonable price for the sellers. I do believe having them in the home, rather than vacant made all the difference. The house always looked great and they had lights on and showing ready every time. I am hopeful that she will be able to place the home managers in another home soon. They were beyond terrific. Just wanted to share with everyone.

Derek (Lake Bluff IL)

I just wanted to thank Barbara Bliss and her talented and supportive team for a job well done! While I was out of town, the Showhomes North Shore came into our family home and created a masterpiece. Rooms filled with beautiful furniture, accessories and art. I was blown away! And after six days on the Market our family home for over 40 Years was sold. I would highly recommend Barbara Bliss and the Showhomes North Shore team! Excellent job!!!

Alan (IL)

Showhomes did a terrific job. All of their work was done in a timely and professional manner. I am certain that it’s work was an important part of getting a contract for the sale of our home at list price within two days after putting it back on the market

David (IL)

Very professional and accommodating.

Sherry Pray (Lake Forest IL)

Barbara and Ashley make a Really great team. Barbara is the genius in the decorating and Ashley is very easy and efficient to communicate with I highly recommend them and it is very clear to me that I would not have sold my house as quickly as I did if it weren't for them.

Ralph Hansen (Lake Forest IL)

Very professional!

John Richert (Lake Forest IL)

Showhomes was very responsive to my needs and really came through for me on a tight schedule. I know for a fact that their staging work was critical in the sale of the home. Great job and very easy to work with. Just let them do their thing ... it works!

Tracy Wurster (IL)

Very responsive and professional team with excellent results!!!

Gregory Williams (IL)

Barbara Bliss helped me sell 2 homes as soon as they were staged for top dollar.

Ted Pickus (IL)

They are quick, put great home managers in and very accommodating.

Kristen Kaiser (Ann Arbor MI)

Great experience working with Barbara and team. They made the process easy. They found a quality home manager and staged our house beautifully. Highly recommend working with Showhomes!

Mary Dru Carolan (IL)

Flexibility and every little detail gets taken care of!

Larry Spatz (Highland Park IL)

You tell the seller what he needs to do to sell his house. It confirms what I, as a realtor, say to him.

Kristen Kaiser (Ann Arbor MI)

Great customer service and attention to detail

Susan Ani (Evanston IL)

ShowHomes has turned an "interesting" historic property into a true "Show Home" for the ages. This was an enormous property, with enormous challenges in volume of furnishings, style selections, and color choices. The results were stunning, and I feel the value of the work done was definitely worth it.

Jane Pickus (HIghland Park IL)

I'm a Realtor on the North Shore of Chicago. I've used Showhomes recently on 3 of my house that were not selling. Two of them have been sold. Yea! We're still working on the third. Barbara Bliss, with the help of Ashley Mazzetta, work tirelessly to make this happen. Barbara oversees every detail. No detail is too small. She works quickly, keeps in contact, and she has a great eye for design. Would I use her again? You Bet!

Vicky Maurici (IL)

I loved the way the home was staged. Love the peace of mind that there was a "home manager" that was soo nice, did't mind me calling last minute and even giving me some feedback of the showing if she happened to be home, plus and took such nice care of the home.

Gene G. (Lake Forest IL)

We utilized Showhomes, Barrington to stage a newly built house in Lake Forest, IL. Our expectations were high, and all were met, or exceeded. Designers toured our home and developed a plan which enhanced our interior living space with high end furnishings. I recommend ShowHomes North Shore Barrington without hesitation.

Naomi "Cheetah" Campbell (Lake Bluff IL)

When I think of Showhomes I think of a True Professional. They have staged two homes that I have listed and have assisted me in selling them as fast as a Cheetah. They always come to mind when I have a gorgeous home that needs staging they just help do what my sellers have done make it absolutely Purrfect!

Dunn/ Miller Team (Libertyville IL)

Barbara and her team are great. The Dunn/Miller Team has made Show Homes a big part of our business for many years. We have many satisfied clients and homes SOLD because of the talents in staging the homes and the awesome home mangers Barbara personally selects for each home.

Chirs Puszynski (Lake Forest IL)

This company goes above and beyond. They have a great eye for color and scale and create a look appropriate for the style of the home. I would highly recommend this company.

Gary H. (Barrington IL)

Trying to sell your home without it being occupied is a challenging task. You have to find someone to care for your home, while they supply furniture to stage the house making it look good, provide security, keeping the property clean, and be willing to move out within 30 days of a sales agreement ........next to impossible. Not so with Showhomes. They find the perfect people to recruit as your "home manager" and work closely with you to make this a great and affordable experience for all. Just a comment; I am not a person that is easily impressed. I would highly recommend this company.

Ann Lyon (Lake Forest IL)

Barbara and Showhomes exceeded our expectations and did an amazing job staging one of our properties. We will use them for any of our staging needs in the future.

Mary Dru Carolan (IL)

So flexible! You worked to meet our client's needs and that was critical.

Susan Ani (Evanston IL)

The staging furniture and accessories are perfectly matched to the property. The house manager has been working really well, glad to have someone occupying the property. Appreciated the refreshments for my brokers open house at the property. The agents who attended the brokers were extremely impressed with the staging results. My sellers appreciate that payment is due at the closing table, not up front.

Robert Steen (Deerfield IL)

Isabel Schwank (IL)

Bree Mackenzie Misiak (IL)

The quality of the house managers is great, the house looks amazing, and everything went smoothly transitioning from the renter to the new house managers. Everything is going smoothly

Michele Wilson (Lake Forest IL)

The staging looks fabulous. The new photos are great. The wine and cheese open house was a success and working with the property manager is seamless. Would definitely recommend working with Barbara Bliss and her ShowHomes team!

Tracy Wurster (Lake Forest IL)

Tons of energy, very responsive and always open to working with agents to make sure everyone's happy!!!

Michael Boyle (IL)

Personal attention and guidance regarding the process. Not everyone is prepared for the change they are about to make. Barbara Bliss and her team did everything they could do to assure my family that we will be well taken care of and that there will be somewhere in the system that we will fit. Unbeknownst to us we fit the model very well and look forward to being the best showhomes managers on the North Shore. Onward and upward!!!

Steven Paxton (Lake Forest IL)

Not one issue or problem after signing contract. Showhomes delivered. Every request or question was answered with a positive and enthusiastic response. Ashley was the perfect " go to " representative.

Suzanne (Vernon Hills IL)

The house is gorgeous! I am in shock! Thank you so much!

Heather Farnham (HIghland Park IL)

I LOVE how professional and successful your company has been for my clients as well as myself! The unique concept behind Show Homes and the staging services that you provide sold me the moment I talked to Barbara. Both Barbara and Ashley have been amazing to work with and they have always been a call, text or email away. The house looked beautiful from the moment it was staged and it sold the first week after we staged. They provided rooms that actually looked like someone's house rather than random furniture placed throughout a house. I have also found that the house managers have been 100% accommodating and have kept the house immaculate (which I know because I had to pop in one day with less than 5 minutes notice). I have already recommended your company to some agents and I can't wait to have future clients use your company this year! Thanks for all that you have done to help me sell 88 Holabird Circle in Fort Sheridan~ Heather Farnham

Jerome Riggio (IL)

Barbara and Ashley are wonderful!

Ruth Ciaglia, ERA Countrywood (IL)

The home manager was extremely accommodating and kept the home very clean. I couldn't have been more satisified. The furniture was top shelf and made the home show much better. I would definitely recommend their services to other brokers!

Alla Kimbarovsky Realtor (Winnetka IL)

We had a $7.8 million listing that despite the excellent location, the house did not show well. After the transformation, people were so impressed that they were ready to buy the property with the furniture—that’s how well the design, color and style worked with the property. It not only cut the market time, but also kept the sales price high because it looked so expensive.

Michael Loyfman Builder (IL)

One of my largest properties on Lake Michigan was staged by Showhomes and I was very happy with the service. It gave the home a high-end designer’s look. It was truly a Showhome!

Michael Thomas Realtor (Evanston IL)

I have found Showhomes to be an invaluable tool to get houses sold. Within 2 months after they moved in, we quickly had offers on a house that had previously been on the market more than 18 months. We all know staging works, but Showhomes is a step above the rest.

Honore Frumentino Realtor (Northbrook IL)

Your house manager was a pleasure to work with. Thanks for all your help.

Thaddeus Allen Homeowner (Lake Bluff IL)

Not only have you exceeded my expectations but you have most certainly increased the value of my home. It was a real pleasure working with you and I will most certainly refer you to anyone who has a need for staging services. What makes your firm different is that you were timely and courteous; all I saw with your firm was cohesiveness and enthusiasm to get the job done with care, taking into account not only my wishes but what you as a professional thought would be best. The quality of the furniture exceeded my expectations. The follow up work that your firm has done has been tremendous.

Frank Guido Builder/Homeowner (Lake Bluff IL)

It is indeed rare when we encounter experiences with our partnerships that surprise us with results. In this case, Showhomes has truly added to our marketing success. After seeing Showhomes' commitment and the results, I am absolutely pleased. It was fantastic to see how this beautiful house came alive, and how they were able to highlight all of its features through great furniture and detailed staging. The home manager was a perfect fit. Anytime there was a showing advanced or on short notice, the home was meticulously prepared. Showhomes is definitely an asset to our marketing success, bringing real value.

Bill Castle, Realtor (Lake Forest IL)

This house looks better with the Home Manager in than when the house was empty, I wish all my homeowners did this with their vacants!
