Showhomes - Franchise

The Fastest Growing Franchise in the Real Estate Industry

Ready to trade the corporate grind for a business you can actually enjoy? Showhomes is built for people who want multiple potential revenue streams, have a natural eye for design, and genuinely love the real estate world: the kind of person who tours open houses for fun and has strong opinions about paint color.

Showhomes is the nation's largest home staging franchise. We help homeowners and their real estate agents turn vacant houses into fully furnished, move-in-ready homes that buyers can picture themselves living in. With decades of experience behind us, Showhomes has become America's go-to home staging service, coast to coast.

Four Niches in the Real Estate Market

Showhomes was founded in 1986 on a simple idea: help homeowners and their realtors sell vacant homes faster and for more money. We built a turnkey suite of services around that idea: whole-house furnishing, staging and design, and live-in Home Managers who keep properties in show-ready condition.

Vacant, upscale homes are notoriously hard to sell and often draw lowball offers. By creating a lived-in, emotionally inviting environment, we help these homes sell closer to list price in less time.

Since then, we've grown well beyond that original niche. Today, Showhomes franchise owners offer traditional home staging for vacant properties, home makeovers for occupied homes on the market, and interior design services for homeowners who aren't selling at all, giving owners several potential revenue streams and access to a much broader client base than ever before. Some franchise owners also design short-term rental properties for Airbnb and VRBO, and provide staging and design work for national home builders on new construction and model homes.

Through our nationwide franchise network, Showhomes has helped more than 25,000 homeowners and their realtors sell homes worth a combined US$8 billion. Showhomes has even been called one of the best-kept secrets in the real estate industry by The Travel Channel.

Founded in 1986, Showhomes has thrived through a wide range of market conditions, building a business with strong fundamentals, a proven track record, and real room to grow. With total start-up costs starting at just $50,700, it's one of the more accessible investments in franchising.
