ABOUT US

WHAT WE DO:
Showhomes San Diego has offered award-winning, luxury staging and styling services to our clients for over 13 years. Most of the high-end homes we stage and style are on the market for sale. However, Showhomes also offers expert design services to homeowners and short-term rental hosts who want on-trend design styles for their living spaces.

No matter your intention, our goal is to create a welcoming living space that appeals to buyers or suits your lifestyle. Our proven home staging services can maximize the selling price of your property, help increase the rental price of your short-term rental or help you sell your property quickly and maximize your return on investing in our services.

OUR MARKET:
San Diego is a beautiful city. There’s a reason why it’s known for being “America’s Finest City.”

People move here from all over the country and the world to live and work in one of the best climates in the world. We are privileged to help homeowners realize their dreams to live in such a wonderful area. San Diego consistently has one of the highest increases in home value in the country.

The March 2022 Case-Shiller Index shows San Diego county home prices rose 29.6% year over year in March. Up from 29.1% in February 2022. Prices haven’t increased at this pace in 18 years. San Diego County also has the 5th largest annual increase in home sales in a 20-city USA index. This equates to a continued hot home seller’s market despite recent mortgage rate increases. As a home staging company, this means a continued robust market for our services helping to sell homes faster and for top dollar.

Our E-Design program uses technology to allow our designers to provide inspiration, expert sourcing, and design expertise. We create an inspiration board of ideas for your home with links to the products you need to create a warm and welcoming space. Once the plan is complete, ship items from our platform directly to your home. We’ll even help you with the install if needed.

Showhomes did a beautiful job staging our home for sale. The furniture and decor was tastefully displayed throughout the entire house. Chris and his designers communicated well during the entire process. The setup and removal of the staging was flawless, they even filled and painted the holes where they had hung pictures, TV's, etc. Their house manager program is also a game changer if your property is unoccupied. I wouldn't sell a property again without using Showhomes.

Lisa was fabulous to work with— super competent, efficient and with a great eye for what should be done. The staging was perfect. She works so well with all the contractors, picking out new quartzite, paint colors, flooring and anything we needed done. We couldn’t have done it without her, as we were out of town most of the time. She kept up on all coordination so the house went on the market and sold in a timely manner. You’ll be pleased and the staging was definitely worth it!

As an investor, Showhomes has been an invaluable partner in our fund’s efforts. Our rehabbed properties have been beautifully staged and their Home Managers have provided security to homes that otherwise would be vacant and more likely to be vandalized. Showhomes has allowed us to sell our listings faster and in most cases with multiple offers. They have coordinated the move-in and move-out process seamlessly and I would highly recommend them to any investor or seller.

Very quick to respond to the request for a quote. Quality of the furniture was very good. Great to have a manager on site to look after the house and keep it looking great.

Move out of the furniture was done expeditiously and the house was left very clean.

Showhomes home staging made a huge difference in helping to sell my Santa Luz home to the first family that saw it! The staging had a lot to do with selling a large place like that so quickly.

Showhomes doesn't cut corners and uses beautiful bed linens and real furniture, creating a comfortable, serene, beautiful home.

frequently asked questions

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

How 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.
