The results speak for themselves...
Thousands of Home Owners and Realtors have benefited from the Showhomes system of staging and selling homes. Here are some of their stories. (Videos may take a moment to load - thanks for your patience.)
Showhomes Home Managers bring life to a home that otherwise isn't there. And it's much easier to get buyers into a Showhome for showings, because the homes are always in great shape and ready to show, inside and out - whenever we call.
Showhomes doesn't just bring furniture-they bring an environment... When a property is staged by Showhomes, buyers spend three times as long looking at it-and imagining it as their own home.
I've seen Showhomes magically turn cold, empty rooms into a warm, inviting home-in a single weekend!
"I want to thank you for how helpful Showhomes has been! The condition of the home has been excellent every time we have seen it. If I had known your company existed earlier, I would have contacted you." Dr. Pack's 1.2 million dollar Marsh Landing home sold in less than 45 days with Showhomes after over a year on the market.
My experience with Showhomes has been wonderful! I remember walking through my new listing in Sawgrass wondering how I was ever going to sell the home. Though it was a great house, it was vacant and felt stale and cold. We had a few showings, but no serious interest. Then, Showhomes moved in and transformed the vacant house to a warm, cozy, beautiful home. I was amazed that it was actually the same house! We had a showing within a few days, an immediate offer, and sold the home! It was a pleasure to work with Jim & Kaye Biby; I would highly recommend Showhomes to anyone wanting to get a home sold.

Your service was invaluable to the situation with which I was confronted and I know that you went above and beyond on several occasions to accommodate vendors and prospective buyers during the listing phase. I do not want you to think it was not noticed or appreciated. Scott J. Rynearson, Trustee
Hi Jim and Kaye,
I wanted to let you know how pleased everyone involved has been with the results at 10th Ave N in Jacksonville Beach. Showings go well and the Realtor open house was a hit thanks to your choice and placement of furniture.
Feel free to call me anytime for a reference.
Best regards, Mike Brennan with Watson Realty Corp.

I really believe your service is a "win, win" for all involved. Your Home Managers get a good deal on a nice home, and the sellers have someone in their house who keep it "show ready", which helps get the house sold. The house sold in under 50 days after Showhomes staged and started maintaining our home.
Thanks for all your help! Mary Crowe

Jim, your company did an excellent job of staging our home. Gary and I are just thrilled! We will use your company again should we decide to sell our current home. Please know we will refer others to you.
Thank you, Valarie

We are grateful to Showhomes-Jacksonville. Jim and Kaye transformed, updated and showed the true potential of our vacant home. We entrusted the Jacksonville property to the care of Showhomes to stage and manage at the end of October 2008. It was a blessing to have such a professional staff looking after our home while we were 800 miles away. Showhomes exceeded all my expectations. Jim was extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We were under contract in January 2009! Carol Nichols, Little Rock, AR
Thank you Showhomes Jacksonville. We found our dream home and purchased it before we sold our home. This left us with additional carrying costs. Our Realtor suggested numerous price reductions with no results, and then she called Showhomes to the rescue. The Showhomes Home Manager program alleviated the additional costs of electric, pool, and landscape bills. Best of all our home SOLD 3 months later. Thanks again! Mike and Chantal Peterson
We have really enjoyed working with Showhomes. You and Jared are too really classy guys and very respectable businessmen. Wendy H.
Heritage Bank Senior Vice President Greg Totten was a skeptic when he decided to try using a home staging company to sell a bank-owned property that had been on the market in Queens Harbour for nearly a year at $2 million.
After a home manager moved in and staged the 6,000-square-foot home, the number of showings increased as well as the dollar amount of the offers before it went under contract in September to sell for $1.5 million. Totten is now a believer in home staging. Greg Totten, Heritage Bank Senior Vice President

I have long been a huge fan of Showhomes and have many happy sellers who have used your services. But, until you staged and managed our personal home, did I realize the true value of Showhomes.
Our home manager, Robert, was always courteous and ready to have the house shown whenever he got the call. All Realtors remarked about how well the house showed, and then we got that all important offer!
For us, the home owners, it was total peace of mind once you and your team took over. We cannot thank you enough! Please feel free to give anyone my name and phone number as a reference. Jackie Ross, Prudential Network Realty

We were extremely pleased with the Showhomes team during the marketing and sale of our house. They did a great job staging the house and were always ready to show it on a moment's notice. The Home Managers cared for house with the same attention that we would have given it. Once we had a contract they worked closely with us and remained flexible during all of the inspections, repairs and walk-through. They scheduled their move once we had confirmation of the closing and left the house clean and neat and ready for the new owners. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would use Showhomes again without hesitation and highly recommend them. Showhomes makes selling a house an enjoyable experience instead of a stressful one. We thank you for all of the help. It truly made our year of waiting for the sale much more relaxed and tolerable. It couldn't have happened without you. All the best to you, Shelley and Dave Turner
Thank you so much for all your company did in helping me sell my home in Old Ponte Vedra. The house was on the market for seventeen months before your company moved in a home manager. Within 5 weeks of your manager's moving in I closed with a very attractive price. In the current market, that is quite a feat. Not only did the home sell, but the service that you provided made it one of the easiest transactions I have ever been a party too.
I enjoyed working with you, and pass on my highest recommendation to future clients.
Sincerely, Kelly Stokes

I used Showhomes for a $2M listing on the river this year and successfully sold the home. Their staging played a VERY large part in the sale. The business concept is great and the Biby family are very professional. They honored every promise made and worked above and beyond! They provided a catered Broker's Luncheon that really got the word out! I picked up a $1M buyer from this listing who closed on an oceanfront condo last month. I wouldn't use any other firm. I know you'll be happy. Sandy Steiner, Re/Max Specialist
"Prior to Show Homes occupying this house I had consistent Realtor and buyer feedback was that the yard was too small. Since the Home Manager has moved in my feedback totally changed to it is a beautiful home at a fair price. No one mentions the yard anymore." Cammy Ray, Watson Realty Corp.
