For Realtors & brokers
A free staging tool for every vacant listing you take
Showhomes is free to Realtors. We are not competing with you — we are making your hardest listings show like your best ones.
Showhomes helps homeowners and their Realtors sell vacant homes faster and for higher prices. 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, that means less hassle, a faster sale, a higher commission and a happier homeowner.
Topics to discuss with your clients
Three lines that answer the seller’s first three objections.
“Will it be hard to show?”
Your home is kept in show-to-sell condition, and is available for showings any time by appointment. Agents routinely tell us Showhomes are easier to show than owner-occupied homes.
“What does it cost me?”
Nothing. In fact you save thousands in costs such as utilities, insurance, lawn care and minor maintenance while the home is on the market.
“Does it work in this market?”
Our service has proved effective in adverse market conditions such as recession, inflation, interest-rate swings and high unemployment.
The pitch, in one page
Selling a home is all about presentation
If you present a vacant house, buyers are often unable to visualize the empty space as a home. Even if the empty house sells, it is often for a price far below the list price.
Because the home is vacant, buyers expect a bargain — hoping to take advantage of an owner they think is desperate to sell.
If you present a Showhome, buyers are able to visualize the fully furnished and decorated space as their home. This personal connection leads to a premium sale price. Buyers make higher offers because they have already bought a home in their mind — they can see it as theirs, and will offer a premium price to make sure it becomes theirs.
Showhomes Oklahoma adds value to vacant houses by:
- Transforming vacant houses into valuable, cared-for homes that buyers respond to.
- Keeping each home in show-to-sell condition seven days a week.
- Providing a professional decorator to assist in decorating each home using proven staging techniques, maximizing its appeal to buyers.
- Hiring carefully screened and qualified Home Managers to live in and manage each home throughout the sales process.
- Arranging the Home Manager’s move to another property when the home sells, allowing for a quick close.
Most people cannot see the potential of a vacant home – they cannot visualize what it will look like. That is why your services are so valuable.Art David, Coldwell Banker Realtor, Naples, FL
