About Showhomes Home Services
Showhomes is the nation's largest home staging franchise, transforming both vacant and occupied properties into market-ready showcases that sell faster and at higher prices. Franchisees operate a multi-revenue model that blends real estate, logistics, and design - all within an asset-light, service-based structure. Core revenue streams include:
• Home Staging (vacant & occupied)
• Home Updating & Listing Preparation
• Furniture Sales
• Interior Design Services
Showhomes combines restaurant-scale revenue potential with professional-service simplicity, giving franchisees a model with high scalability, strong margins, and rapid cash flow.
Showhomes, established in 1986 and franchising since 1994, boasts proven longevity. Its strong revenue profile shows an average unit volume (AUV) that is 2.5 times higher than independent home stagers, with top performers generating $1.7 million to $2.4 million annually. The business operates with an asset-light structure, where CAPEX investment gets directed toward building an inventory of furnishings to stage multiple homes and savvy warehouse organization that produces efficient logistics, thereby avoiding costly buildouts. Showhomes offers high cash flow and quick payback due to recurring projects, low fixed costs, and high asset turnover, thereby accelerating profitability. Franchisees also benefit from comprehensive support, including national buying power, vendor access, and design training at scale. As the largest brand in the category, Showhomes provides institutional experience, unmatched brand recognition, and multi-channel marketing leverage.
