Showhomes of America Memp
Showhomes Illegitimate Franchise Falsifies Information to Prospective Buyers - Franchise Offer at www.showhomes.com

This company clearly states on their website and other various media outlets such as blogs, press releases, etc... The following:

"Showhomes has helped Realtors and homeowners sell more than 22,000 homes worth more than $8 billion since its founding in 1986. Showhomes gives its franchisees an opportunity to add value to a well-defined, but under-served, real estate niche: vacant houses."

This is what I found out about the company from the Tennessee Secretary of State (the state of the Showhomes Franchise Corporation Headquarters):
