KENNY CHESNEY’S REALTOR BELIEVES – “NO FURNITURE, NO UPKEEP, BIG PROBLEM”

Country Music star Kenny Chesney’s famous song ‘No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem’ has been a huge hit. When it came time to sell his vacant 3.1 million Nashville estate home, his Realtor felt ‘No Furniture, No Upkeep, Big Problem.’

Vacant houses are difficult to sell. Buyers walk in and only see empty rooms. Because there is no furniture the house looks cold and sterile. The more expensive the home and the higher the price, the more difficult it becomes to sell. When a celebrity’s home goes on the market and becomes vacant, selling the home can be near-impossible.

That is why Kenny Chesney’s Nashville Realtor Jim Newsom contracted with Showhomes of America’s Nashville Franchise to stage and decorate the home.

“It’s been proven over and over again that a house on the market sells better if it’s nicely furnished” according to Newsom. Over the years realtors for celebrities such as former British Open Champion David Duvall, Chesney and several athletes and film industry celebrities have found that Showhomes is a time-tested solution for selling not only for celebrity homes but luxurious homes owned by the merely successful and wealthy.

Showhomes is a win-win-win-win proposition for everyone involved. Showhomes typically sell faster and for a higher price and the realtor always finds the home in “ready to show” condition. The homeowner can save thousands on holding costs such as utilities, maintenance and insurance. The home managers get to live in a luxurious home that would otherwise be beyond their means. The Showhomes franchisee gets the revenue from a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio and bonuses for quick sales.

Showhomes created the Home Management business in the early 1980s and has dominated the industry over the last two decades. It is a unique business model that has withstood all types of market conditions. Demand for Showhomes’ service has risen in the hot real estate market over the last four years. Showhomes has begun an aggressive expansion campaign in 2005 and has plans to open 12 new franchise locations.

You don’t have to be a celebrity to benefit from the Showhomes experience. If you are a realtor, a homeowner, a potential home manager or a motivated self-starter interested in becoming the owner of an enviably successful business
