ShowHomes was an excellent partner in the sale of our home. Everything was done when promised, there was always someone responsive available and all questions were answered promptly. Our home was on the market for some time but once engaged with ShowHomes it sold quickly.

Barbara and ShowHomes were great! Our home had languished on the market for quite some time. After an initial offer fell through and we had vacated the premises, with the help of our realtor, we engaged ShowHomes to stage our home. It sold in a matter of weeks!! Barbara and her team were responsive at all times and made their end of the process seamless and worry free. I would definitely recommend Barbara and ShowHomes for your next sale!!!

An amazing experience. Showhomes took care of all of our staging needs as well as securing a home manager that kept the entire house in impeccable order. Our home sold so quickly with so many positive comments from potential buyers that they could just move right in. The house felt like a home and the colors, placement of furniture just added to the appeal. Thank you Showhomes

I was skeptical at first, but Barbara and her team were great. We got more traffic in the 60 days after staging than in the prior year. I'm convinced that using Showhomes got our house sold.

I just wanted to thank Barbara Bliss and her talented and supportive team for a job well done! While I was out of town, the Showhomes North Shore came into our family home and created a masterpiece. Rooms filled with beautiful furniture, accessories and art. I was blown away! And after six days on the Market our family home for over 40 Years was sold. I would highly recommend Barbara Bliss and the Showhomes North Shore team! Excellent job!!!

They do an outstanding job with their staging of homes and it's amazing how quickly the houses sell after they come in and do a "revitalization" of any house. First impressions are so important in Real Estate and they can make even the most unattractive houses look great! When they come in, they work quickly to get the job done and their home management program works well too. Sometimes the homes need painting or other projects, & they can get involved that way as well. I highly recommend them particularly if people are interested in getting their homes sold in a reasonably short period of time. They're "The Best"!

We utilized Showhomes, Barrington to stage a newly built house in Lake Forest, IL. Our expectations were high, and all were met, or exceeded. Designers toured our home and developed a plan which enhanced our interior living space with high end furnishings. I recommend ShowHomes North Shore Barrington without hesitation.

Gene, Thank you for the review. We are thrilled that we exceeded your expectations! We had a blast staging your property and making it beautiful for the real estate market!

Trying to sell your home without it being occupied is a challenging task. You have to find someone to care for your home, while they supply furniture to stage the house making it look good, provide security, keeping the property clean, and be willing to move out within 30 days of a sales agreement ........next to impossible. Not so with Showhomes. They find the perfect people to recruit as your "home manager" and work closely with you to make this a great and affordable experience for all. Just a comment; I am not a person that is easily impressed. I would highly recommend this company.

Thank you Chris for the wonderful review! We had a blast transforming this home using the Homeowners existing furnishings and spicing it up with some additional furnishings, accessories and art to really enhance the house! We love working with you and are looking forward to doing more business with you and your Homeowners!

Barbara Bliss and her team present a service to my real estate clients that seemed too good to be true. The level of service, the range of the service, and the cost of the service all exceeded our expectations. The result of her staging work was beautiful, and certainly made my listing look much more inviting to potential buyers. I will definitely use Barbara's service again and recommend her to my colleagues as well.

I've used Showhomes on a few houses already and have been very pleased with the results. They have sold quickly, all in less than 30 days, and looked incredible with the staging. The furniture is elegant and put together in a professional manner. The pricing is also very affordable. Their expertise and knowledge with how to stage homes according to the style is a huge benefit.

I recommended Showhomes to all people that are selling homes. We were having difficulty selling our gorgeous homes. The homes were vacant. Showhomes puts wonderful home managers in the home along with beautiful furniture. We sell properties much quicker when Showhomes stages our properties!

I am a real estate professional who has recommended Barbara and Showhomes to several of my clients. I have worked with Barbara on several staging/selling projects. It's a great program and I truly believe that it helps the homeowner (and me) sell the home faster for a better price!

I am a real estate professional and I used Showhomes on one of my listings. The house was a beautiful newly built home with no furniture. After the client moved into the home, it was truly a show place. Great experience for everyone. I would use them again.

I recommended Showhomes to my homeowners who were having difficulty selling their gorgeous home. The home was vacant and also a shortsale. Showhomes put a wonderful tenant in the home along with beautiful furniture. The home was under contract within a month. The shortsale took many months to complete but the tenant remained vigilant in taking care of the home.
