BE VERY WARY about buying a franchise from this outfit. Showhomes bills themselves as America's largest home stager, but are working hard at being America's largest home staging Ponzi scheme.
DO NOT TRUST any current franchise owner to give you an honest assessment of this business. Franchise owners receive $10,000 for every investor they convince to buy in. These people do not disclose this fact upfront. You will not find out about this until after you buy. You think you are getting the kind of true and honest information you need to make a business decision from the people who might become your peer group.instead, who Showhomes management has you talk to, are in reality extensions of their paid sales team working "undercover"... A sales team that doesn't get paid unless they help close the deal.
This business practice isn't new for Showhomes. Many of the franchisees gladly engaging in this deceptive practice presently were unknowing victims themselves when they bought in, so see nothing wrong with balancing the ledger when it comes to their personal account by passing the debit on to to some newbie.
There are usually two sides to every story... But not in this case. Sometimes wrong is still wrong no matter the energy of any retort or the red herrings thrown back.
