Heidi & Michael Wendland (TN)

Showhomes has been incredibly helpful in assisting us while we prepared our home to sell. They then staged it and placed a home manager in the property. Since we now live out of state, it has eased the scheduling and concerns of managing such a big endeavor remotely. Extremely easy and amazingly accommodating to work with. Hoping it pays off in a quick sale!

Daniel Rentz (TN)

Staging with Show Homes was well worth the investment. Our buyers could easily envision themselves in their new home. Fred and his team's recommendations were spot on. They were very easy and friendly to work with and so accommodating. I cannot imagine not using them again in the near future when selling my next home.

Donna Poupard (Wake Forest NC)

Fred, Lorraine and their entire crew are absolutely the best people to work with! As a builder, I stage many homes and I have to say they are the most personable people in the business. They have a great selection and really go the extra mile to make sure all of our homes look great. We have a great record of selling homes quickly and I'm sure it's because of our impeccable staging efforts by Showhomes! We can never thank them enough for all they do for us!

Silvija & Bill Dry (TN)

Showhomes of Raleigh did excellent job staging our house on very short notice. They were very professional and prompt. Staging our house with Showhomes helped us sell it within few weeks, after we were not successful for few months with empty house,

Shawn Britt (TN)

i have worked with Showhomes (Fred, Lorraine) for 5+ years. They help stage the homes so they sell quickly and excellent service. I highly recommend.

900K SOLD! (NC)

After a year on the market at 900K we changed Realtors, who introduced us to Showhomes. With Fred and his team, we were able to move into our new retirement community when our home was available. Otherwise we would either be trying to sell an empty house. Fred's staging our home and providing a Home Manager was the best possible solution for us. The staging was well done - very professional. The Home Manager was very responsible in caring for the house. We would recommend ShowHomes even if you only need professional staging. Using the Home Manager works well to maintain the home in "ready to show" condition at all times. Showhomes was able to get us an accepted offer within 45 days of staging with the Home Manager!

Sold in a week! (NC)

Very responsive and quick to stage a house once contract was signed. Furniture provided was top quality and my home actually looked like a Show Home. The entire team was outstanding.

Kelly & Scott Anspach (NC)

The company's sole purpose is to look out for the seller's best interest. They are there to help get the property sold. The whole team knows what they are doing and very responsive to our needs. Their platform makes complete sense and the property is well taken care of.

Ronald & Margaret Hawkins (Chapel Hill NC)

I always felt that my home was in good hands with Showhomes in charge. Whenever we had a question or concern Fred addressed it immediately and often provided services over and beyond what the contract called for. The staff were always kind and easy to work with.

Carl & Kirstin Stenberg (NC)

Best investment ever! Showhomes saw our house in a completely different light and we followed their lead. They know the customer and what a potential buyer needs to experience once inside a home. Genius!

Dalene and Mitch Johnson (NC)

Fred was not only very professional, but very personable, and a pleasure to work with. I was initially skeptical that having our home staged with a Home Manager would make a difference ...but getting an offer weeks after Fred and his decorators worked their "magic" made me a believer! I was also extremely impressed at how responsive ShowHomes/Fred Pierson was every time I reached out to him via phone or text! This gave me great peace of mind having moved to the Northeast and proved his amazing level of customer service! After we received an offer and were presented with the buyers inspection report, Fred and his staff worked quickly, and took care of all the listed items for us within days(!!!) and completely satisfied our buyers with the quality of ShowHomes workmanship! I can heartily recommend ShowHomes of Raleigh and Fred Pierson's services! Dalene Johnson

Tatsiana Shtal (Cary NC)

As an real estate investor Showhomes had great communication, efficient service, knowledgeable and creative professionals, relationship oriented, excellent experience!

Rock & Angela Murtagh (NC)

Shawn Britt (TN)

Very responsive & knowledgeable

Kim Reynolds (TN)

From the first phone call I placed to Showhomes Raleigh, the entire transaction was simple and effortless. They assisted fully with my staging needs.

Alyssa Martina (TN)

Very responsive to issues and needs, very helpful and very supportive. Nice people who want to make the client pleased.

Haissam & Oubaida Baityeh (NC)

Fred was very cordial and extremely helpful. We live in Texas while the managed home was in NC. Since Fred took over, we stopped worrying They kept us informed of all. They gave us heads up for repairs, the fixed somethings on their own, they met with our contractors when needed, they hired contractors on our behalf, they supervised and inspected everything, they prepared the home for showings every time the call came and many other benefits. The communication was superb and the service was fantastic. Of course, I must mention that the program cut my cost on maintenance, upkeep, housekeeping, utilities, and insurance.

Shawn Britt (NC)

I have worked with Showhomes many times over the past 4 years and they have always exceeded my expectations, and helped to get my listings sold faster! Shawn Britt, Broker/Owner (Realty World-Triangle Living)

Charles Gordon (NC)

Practical resolutions to problems of preparing a house for showing, such as up-dating kitchens and bathrooms, appropriate furnishings to property, and house managers responsive to their responsibility. Results? A house well prepared for showing, clean and bright. All this with attention to overhead costs. Many thanks. CSGordon, Realtor.

Neal Kite (Raleigh NC)

Wonderful, old fashioned attitude towards clients-nothing they won't do to make u happy. My experience lasted almost two years and never had a concern about my home-never. Fred and his house managers were totally committed to my satisfaction. Everything they contract to do is executed perfectly and they will go far beyond that when there are emergencies or special needs. Every agent who showed my home loved how it presented. Never missed a showing because of a house managers reluctance. One of the best companies I have worked with. And I had over a year of evaluation time before reaching this conclusion.

Great Service with Results! (Chapel Hill NC)

After trying for months to sell our beautiful home in Governors club, we turned to Fred and his team at Showhomes. Their attention to detail, follow through and ability to make our home look livable and warm I believe made the difference in getting a happy buyer and closing within 6 months ! His business model makes allot of sense and it was comforting knowing we had some responsible and conscientious people living in our home keeping it clean, well maintained and looking like a model! In addition, after the sale Showhomes was a big help in getting the home ready for the buyer walk through as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Lou & Joan Shaheen

Success with our home (Chapel Hill NC)

Showhomes did everything they said they would and more. They made the whole process so very easy for us. Their services fitted our needs to a T. Then when the house sold, Showhomes took care of transferring the utilities and the final cleaning. We did not have to lift a finger. Revis & Anne Eller

Joshua & Myriam Antoun Libbrecht (Durham NC)

Fred's responsiveness was incredible, the home managers were trustworthy, and the property was cared for extremely well.

Janet Simms (TN)

I appreciate the prompt attention to any question or situation that arises. All associates are courteous, kind and respectful.

Rori & Kyle Hawkins (Chapel Hill NC)

Showhomes service was wonderful every step of the way. They made a huge difference in the sale of our Chapel Hill home, and were easy, kind, and a pleasure to work with. We live out of state, and Fred and their Home Manager took excellent care of our house, and gave us the invaluable gift of peace of mind. The Home Managers always made sure the house looked its best for every showing. Fred and Showhomes took care of every detail from carpet cleaning, to emptying years of items collected in the storage areas, as well as repairs from the Buyers Inspection Report. Having our home staged by Showhomes was well worth the fee, and I very highly recommend them.

Ronald & Margaret Hawkins (Chapel Hill NC)

We liked your friendly and quick responses to every request we made. It turned out to be the best job of staging we've ever seen!

Chapel-Hill (NC)

Direct and hands-on mangement. Immediate response to Sellers' concerns. Excellent cooperation and coordination with listing broker.

Steve Kruger (NC)

Fred is fantastic about doing whatever is necessary to make sure the client is satisfied. Staging looks great and helps sell homes. I am very happy with the service they provide.

Ginny & Steve Fry (NC)

Fred and Lorraine Pierson and their Showhomes team provided a level of service we could only have dreamed of. Our house had been listed for 6 months before we found Showhomes without even one offer. After their staging our house was on the market for only five days when multiple offers came in from potential buyers. We feel the staging by Showhomes played a crucial role in selling our North Raleigh home so quickly. Showhomes located Home Managers whose furniture and style coordinated in a way to accentuate the architecture of our home, and decor throughout was staged in a very professional and lovely manner. All of the rooms provided potential buyers the vision of lived-in spaces, which cannot be accomplished with bare walls and floors alone. In addition to the fabulous staging was the support provided when there was a mechanical failure with the water heater. Showhomes helped diagnose the problem, and ultimately coordinated the replacement of the water heater with their plumber. This was a complete hands-off experience for us as sellers and something we would have had to address on our own, otherwise. Overall, the experience using Showhomes of Raleigh was very enjoyable, and we highly recommend using their services to accelerate the sale of your home and to bring the highest sales price attainable.

Connie Katz and Irene Hackel (NC)

Not often do I do business with people who go above and beyond their obligation. You and Showhomes have been a saint and a pleasure to work with. Your professional, easy-going attitude, and your willingness to go out of your way to accommodate so many varying needs made for smooth sailing for my mother and me. Showhomes Raleigh made us feel as though nothing was too much or impossible. You were attentive to details and timely. You saved us a lot of money and there is no doubt that you helped sell our home. What more could we have asked! Best of luck and may you enjoy much success with Showhomes. You deserve it! With appreciation. Connie Katz and Irene Hackel

Rick & Bonnie Short (Raleigh NC)

My husband and I had the privilege of being Home Managers for Fred and Loraine Pierson at Showhomes Raleigh. During our initial interview Fred thoroughly explained the benefits of having a real estate property staged and managed by a professional staging company. He also explained our responsibilities and role in creating a successful transaction for the homeowner. Throughout our tenure, Fred and Loraine were extremely responsive to all our questions and needs. Minor maintenance issues were fixed promptly and at our convenience. The furnishings that were in the home were tasteful and comfortable. We’d highly recommend working with Fred and Loraine whether as a Home Manager or as a Homeowner. Bonnie & Rick Short

Mark Henry (NC)

Service is the key. While the concept and offering provide a valuable solution it is the personal touch and capability of Fred and Lorraine that have made me sing the praises of Showhomes.

Joshua & Myriam Antoun Libbrecht (Durham NC)

Personalized service, fantastic staging and photography, like the business model

Cathy Twigg (NC)

Fred and Showhomes provided quick responses. House Managers do a great job of making the home "show ready" at all times

Jill Ehrenfeld (NC)

Fabulous! Fred and Lorraine are the greatest

Jennifer Smith (NC)

Works great to sell my listings

Julie & thom Dasher (Chapel Hill NC)

Our experience with Showhomes Raleigh has been a lifesaver! We were making a major move from Minneapolis to Raleigh, NC. As I contemplated renting a 900 square foot townhouse outside the gates of Governor's Club one Friday night, I was not energized at the thought of our family living in this tight, cramped space. In addition, signing a year long lease for this arrangement was not what I had planned for our relocation from Minnesota to North Carolina. We wanted flexibility in case we found our dream home immediately. In doing some research online, I uncovered Showhomes Raleigh...what a novel idea...relocatees bringing beautiful furniture to help stage a 3500 square foot home (one of many options on the website) in exchange for showing the house for sale on the market. I called Fred and liked him immediately...he was straightforward and had several home options for us not outside the gates but inside the gates of Governor's Club. We could live in the community while deciding if it was right for our family. Showhomes Raleigh understood our situation and has been extremely supportive. We've had a beautiful home to live in and all the flexibility we needed to make our move to North Carolina smooth and wonderful. The lovely weather doesn't hurt either! I would highly recommend this opportunity to become a House Manager with the program!

Revis & Anne Eller (Chapel Hill NC)

Showhomes Raleigh is a win-win for the homeowner, and you made the transition effortless for us.

Whitney Kutney (Clarksburg MD)

Great communication. Fred understands that moving is a stressful time and is sensitive to that. House looks great. All feedback received from home showings about condition of home has been very positive.

Margaret & Bob Simis (Chapel Hill NC)

Thank you Showhomes for the part you played in getting our home sold. You arranged the house beautifully. Your Home Manager kept the house ready for showings with short notice. You lowered our cash flow while awaiting the sale. You were a delight to work with. We enthusiastically recommend Showhomes. On a scale of 1 to 10, you get an 11!

Jennifer Smith (NC)

Fred and all the home managers are great to work with! My Listings sell for top dollar using Showhomes.

Josh Giunta (Columbria MD)

As soon as Showhomes staged my home the feedback from potential buyers dramatically improved. Fred was a pleasure to work with, and had many great ideas to get my home sold. He worked very well along side my realtor and was vital in my home selling. Very glad I used showhomes and would recommend to anyone.

Success in Apex (Apex NC)

When Show Homes was first recommended to us we were skeptical about what they could offer that would make a difference to the sale of our home, but , our experience with Show Homes and Fred Pierson exceeded expectations! Like so many property owners the downturn in the housing market made the task of selling a home extremely competitive. Our home had been on the market for an extended time and we had already moved out of the home to pursue employment elsewhere. After speaking with Fred Pierson, we were put at ease about the service Show Homes could provide. Our home was not left empty and Show Homes staged it in an attractive manner. Fred went above and beyond to answer any concerns we had; he supervised the property and ensured good curb appeal. Fred would oversee any maintenance needs, and consulted us on each aspect of the property, giving us regular updates. Our minds were put at ease that the property was being cared for - a relief since we were now considerable distance away. More than this, Fred was mindful that the purpose of this relationship was to get the home sold! To this end, Show Homes presented the property in a way to make it show better than the competing homes - a successful strategy since we were able to sell the home after a few months of working with Fred! Show Homes service did not end with a signed contract. Fred followed through the entire selling process with us until the home closed, making himself available to assist with any items that needed tending prior to the closing. We hope that our experience can serve as a testament to the value of Show Homes Raleigh, and Fred Pierson; and that it will keep another customer from hesitating as we did - our only regret is that we did not come to this earlier! Reta Ann

Sean Patrick Kersten Tanya Marie Kersten (Cary NC)

It was a pleasure working with you on the sale of our house this spring. We sold the house quickly and at asking price due to the efforts of Showhomes. Since we live overseas and had rented the house for the past four years it needed some updating within a budget. Show Homes was able to help us determine a list of items to be completed, select contractors and then manage contractors to achieve the highest asking price for our agent to list the home. Fred Pierson went above and beyond what we expected and provided a level of service not usually seen in today's market. It is not surprising that customers are so interested in working with him. Having worked as consultants for much of our working life my wife and I understand what service means, service is a word used often by businesses, but not often achieved. Showhomes Raleigh provided excellent service for the sale of our home in March 2013 and we would recommend them to our closest friends and family. Thank you for your service and assistance. We wish you much success in the future. Kind Regards, Sean Patrick Kersten Tanya Marie Kersten

Darlne Lee (Cary NC)

Fred, I can't thank you enough for your dedication to getting Crimmons Circle revitalized. I never dreamed we would be able to put it on the market in 40 days but with your contractors who were readily available and reasonably priced we did it!. Your staging and professional photos of the home made my job so much easier. What was an empty house turned into a beautiful home that buyers were lining up to see. Getting two full price offers in the first week on market was wonderful. Your services were above and beyond my expectations and I look forward to working with you again!

Frank Salmonese (Raleigh NC)

My wife and I just can’t thank you enough for the excellent service and support you and the ShowHomes team provided. When we decided to list our home for sale – we took advice from several staging consultants and spent a great deal of time and money to update & stage our home. Still, it lingered on the market for far, far too long. So long that we were already living in a new city. Frankly, we were getting quite weary of maintaining two houses – keeping one in show ready condition every day! Your service was indeed a Godsend to us. By taking over all day to day maintenance, expertly staging the home, and having it ready for showings all the time, your service instantly relieved us of this constant hassle. More importantly, your marketing brought potential buyers -- and we had two offers less than 90 days later. Many thanks to you, to ShowHomes and to our wonderful Home Manager -- together, you made it happen.

Tim & Joanne Turner (Cary NC)

This is an unqualified and wholehearted affirmation of Showhomes Raleigh! The magic that Fred and Lorraine Pierson performed was simply amazing and helped us sell our home after traditional methods failed! A little background: Over 3 years ago we moved out of the area and put our home up for sale. After trying unsuccessfully to sell it through the usual means (strike one), which included staging by an interior designer - but not Showhomes, we were forced to rent it for 2 years while the housing market continued to plummet. Then we decided to once again test the waters and put our home up for sale. And again, our results were dismal. Strike two. So we searched for other creative options to help us market and sell our home. And we came upon Showhomes Raleigh! And WOW - what a difference! No strike three here, more like a grand slam! Before all the paperwork was even signed, Showhomes was on it! We were given an honest and insightful evaluation of our home, the market and the type of buyer that would purchase our home, as well as a plan to make it happen. They placed the best home manager possible with our house with the absolute perfect furniture to show off its elegance. The home manager always kept the house immaculate and show-ready, even when people called from the driveway. Showhomes was proactive was the start – they took care of the landscaping and found us excellent painters who freshened up some rooms for us. Their resources included plumbers, electricians and handymen to take care of lots of issues that were niggling to us, but important to the potential buyers. Being out-of-state, this was an enormous relief to us! When we received feedback from potential buyers, Showhomes brought issues to our attention with ways to redress the problems! When a last minute roofing issue popped up, Showhomes had a roofer working on the job within days! Even if we had been living in proximity, there was no way we could have handled matters with as much efficiency and professionalism as Showhomes! As the sale was finalized, Showhomes helped with the punch list and deep-cleaned the home so that the proud new owners could simply move in with absolutely no worries! They even stored some of our possessions for us until we could conveniently pick them up. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Showhomes helped us find a buyer in 3 months, after traditional methods failed for over a year. Through it all, working with Showhomes was one of the easiest and best business decisions we have ever made! Whenever the time comes to move again, we know where we’ll turn first – Showhomes! With kind and very happy regards, Jo Ann Lata and Tim Turner

Nelse and Claudia Grundvig (Raleigh NC)

This is an unsolicited recommendation for Showhomes Raleigh. This is a tough market to sell a home. When we put our house on the market, we did so to take a job in another area. When leaving a property on the market and not able to address the day-to-day issues because of the distance, it is important to ensure that one has someone who monitors the home and keeps it staged so that prospective buyers will find the home appealing. Through Fred’s efforts, we were assured that potential buyers would find the home as charming as we found it when we lived there. Fred’s team ensured that the property was occupied, properly staged and presentable. When there were issues with the home, Fred contacted us immediately and helped coordinate a solution to the issue. When asked, Fred provided an honest appraisal of the property and helped coordinate the needed services in a cost effective manner to ensure the home could be favorably viewed. When it came time to close the property Showhomes’ attention to detail and the quality of the workmanship enabled a smooth closing. They handled the little details that have to be dealt with to complete the deal. His team moved the home manager out of the house, took care of modest repairs and did a thorough cleaning, which enabled the buyers the needed peace of mind. We feel we were very fortunate to have had Showhomes Raleigh as part of the team assembled to sell the house and recommend their services without question. We know they enabled a smooth transition both at the beginning of the process and the cleanup needed to help complete the deal.  Sincerely, Nelse and Claudia Grundvig

Dennis & Terri Ehrenbock (Raleigh NC)

We strongly recommend Showhomes to any person selling their home. Not only did they stage our house beautifully, but they took care of every little detail, request, or problem that we encountered during the selling our home. Since we departed the state relatively quickly after packing, Fred helped us in managing the remaining, last minute home upgrades. And he even helped us get the last of our cleaning done, trash disposed, and even sold some of the furniture and appliances we left behind. Showhomes fantastic job of staging, in part, resulted in a full price offer on the first day the house was listed. Showhomes became invaluable in resolving and attending to all the issues that came up prior to closing. Fred took care of everything from the start to finish. After the sale, our buyers wanted to move up the closing and Fred bent over backwards to accommodate an early closing and final walkthrough. His attention to detail, pro-active communication, and timely follow up helped take away the stress and worry out of being a seller. Knowing that we had Showhomes involved made selling our home a very positive experience. Dennis & Terri Ehrenbock

Raleigh (Raleigh NC)

Using Showhomes to stage and manage our home was definitely a good decision and one that made our move easier. We were pleased with the staging of our home and it was great to know that someone was taking care of it while we were living out of state. The staff at Showhomes was very professional. Our home sold within 90 days of staging and was left in immaculate condition. We would certainly recommend Showhomes to others with a home to sell.

REMAX (Raleigh NC)

Not only do you transform vacant square footage into an actual beautiful, elegant home....but you totally relieve the agent of all the details involved in getting the house ready for the market. Wonderful service.....both to seller and to agent.

David Transou (Raleigh NC)

Fred Pierson, the local Showhomes representative professionally handled each step of the home staging process. From the initial meeting where Fred explained all the legal documents I knew he was a man truly concerned about the happiness of his clients and the success of his business. Throughout the process, from handling suggested repairs, staging, placing a home manager, arranging showings, and personally taking care of what could have a closing-stopping problem at the property, Fred did it all. I can not thank nor praise him enough. I had relocated hours away prior to the listing of the property and could be present to handle the many items that arise during a home sale. No matter what time of day, what day of the week I called, he was there for us. We felt as though we had a trusted friend to look after everything. While other homes sat on the market for 120-200 days, ours sold in less than sixty days for a price that was 9% higher than the city's average price to tax value. Thank you, Showhomes, and thank you, Fred Pierson. You are indeed a friend.

Fred and his team are total professionals who made the process seamless. Living out of state with the house on the market was stressful, but Showhomes handled every detail. Our house sold less than a month after the home manager moved in. Would absolutely recommend them without hesitation.

Our transition here was quick ...above all timely and professional service and the staff is great to work with not inflexible and committed to the personal needs of the clients and HM great transfer.

Brenda & Aleck Moody (Wake Forest NC)

First and foremost I want to thank Fred and Lorraine for helping make our move to this area a wonderful experience. We have moved several times in the past years for work and it can be very stressful. Being a home manager afforded us time to explore where we wanted to live in lieu of buying then regretting. The home we moved into as home mangers was lovely, in a great neighborhood and a great price. If you are moving to the area try Showhomes Raleigh. It will afford you the time to explore the area without signing a long term lease and a chance to live in a great home.

Fred and Lorraine, I just want to thank you again for your help in getting my home sold! Had some real challenges with this house, but your touches brought out the spectacular nature of my home. In two short months after your staging I had TWO all-cash offers ! I highly recommend your team and approach - you have a winning business model and I wish you both continued success !

Elizabeth Chapman (Cary NC)

Our experience with Showhomes of Raleigh was excellent. From start to finish, they were professional and always met or exceeded their commitments and our expectations. After 6 months and no offers for our unfurnished home, we had a Purchase Agreement in place within 2 months after Showhomes created a very inviting, fully furnished experience for potential buyers. We have no reservation recommending Showhomes of Raleigh to our friends or business associates.

Photographer (Raleigh NC)

As a Real Estate photographer, I work with some of the top Realtors in Raleigh, as well as, Interior Designers and Stagers, I've seen quite a few staged properties. Many staged homes are still "cold" and "sterile." If I feel that way as a photographer, Im sure potential buyers do to. Showhomes creates a home-like atmosphere that is really appealing. Showhomes takes a vacant property and makes it feel like a home that I would actually want to live in. -Dwight A. Myers www.dwightamyers.com
