Home Owners
Showhomes of Atlanta provides a service to Realtors and Homeowners to assist in the marketing of their vacant houses. Our marketing strategy reduces the Homeowner’s holding costs and accelerates the sale of the property. This service is accomplished by transforming a vacant house into a professionally decorated Showhome. Statistics prove that Showhomes sell faster than vacant houses and they sell for an average of 10% - 15% higher price
WE CHARGE HOMEOWNERS AND REALTORS NOTHING FOR THIS SERVICE
During the last 24 years we have assisted over 20,000 homeowners and realtors in the Atlanta Metro area convert vacant properties into beautiful Showhomes. As a result, these homes have usually sold quicker and for a higher price.
Showhomes is constantly attracting and cultivating a population of pre-qualified individuals and couples, selected in part, on the basis of the quantity and quality of the furnishings and accessories they own. They are interviewed, screened and trained to become Home Managers. Upon completion of the qualification and training process, they are added to the “Showhomes Home Management Team”. When a home owner contracts with Showhomes, a pre-qualified home manager is selected for their home on the basis of the compatibility of their furnishings and make up of their family. When the match is made, our professional decorators assist the home managers in staging the home using their furnishings to create a beautiful “Showhome”. The house is then maintained in “Show-To-Sell” condition from 9 am to 9 pm daily providing agents the opportunity to show with us as little as 30 minutes notice. Home Managers help with utilities, lawn and pool costs. They keep the home in excellent condition making sure each prospective buyer who visits experiences a warm welcome.
Our Home Managers function as independent contractors not tenants, therefore when the home sells we are able to relocate them from the home with as little as 21 days notice. Upon the sell of the home, we transfer the Home Manager to another one of our vacant properties waiting in our inventory to become the next “Showhome”!
We carry $2,000,000 general liability insurance and require the Home Managers to carry a renter’s policy that covers any damage or personal injury issues throughout the marketing cycle of your home. The reason we can make this free offer and take care of your monthly bills, is because we collect a nominal monthly fee from the Home Manager. This fee is the revenue we use to operate our company and provide you and your agent with this amazing service.
Since opening our operation here in the Atlanta market, we have consistently enjoyed a very positive reputation. We invite you to inquire about us to your agent regarding our commitment to excellence and the professional manner with which we conduct our business.
Create a Model Home Atmosphere
Our Homeowners pay NOTHING for our service! As a comparison, many Home Builders spend thousands of dollars to turn their new properties into model homes.
Holding Costs Reduced
In most cases, monthly utilities, lawn and pool maintenance fees are paid for by our Home Managers. Sellers pay NOTHING for this service!
Asset Preservation
The occupied home can be safeguarded against possible vandalism, weather damage and deterioration.
Insurance Costs Reduced
Insurance premiums for vacant homes are significantly higher than for occupied homes. In some cases, coverage may be reduced or policies cancelled because a house is vacant. Having our Home Managers occupy your house will help to avoid these higher insurance costs.
Property Management
Security and minor maintenance are the responsibility of our Home Managers. This reduces property management time for your realtor and allows them to spend more time marketing your property.
Testimonials
Dear Mr. Moore,
We closed on our home last week and I wanted to take a moment to write you and thank you for the incredible service Showhomes of Atlanta provided for us during the time our home was on the market. The Home Managers were placed in our home and their presence brought a great deal of comfort, not to say, saving us hundreds of dollars in potential insurance increase should our home remained empty.
Not only were the Home Managers outstanding, but you and the entire staff were always helpful and prompt when we had questions. This is the first time we have ever used such a service as Showhomes of Atlanta but please add me to your list of satisfied customers. I don’t anticipate selling another house for a long time now, but would highly recommend our services to anyone caught in a similar situation as ours.
Once again, thanks for working to make sure our home not only showed well, but sold as well.
Blessings,
Dr. G. L. HollingsworthDear Mr. Moore,
I wanted to personally thank you for working with my wife and I this past year as we tried to sell our home in Cumming, GA. We were very pleased with the quality and taste that our home was staged and have recommended your company to others. This letter is to inform you we now have a buyer for our home so we wanted to give you the proper notice and to let you know that, happily, we will now no longer need the services of Showhomes of Atlanta.
We understand that there are nice people living in our home and hope this letter will give them and you, ample time to secure new housing. Thanks again for the service. Should the need arise again in the future we will not hesitate to contact you.
Sincerely,
Reverend J.C. Merk

every way - she is so helpful and takes such great care of the property. We are so pleased with the concept of Showhomes and all involved."
