FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Showhomes Franchise Corporation Announces
New Franchise Opening in Memphis, Tennessee
Nashville, TN (Grassroots Newswire) <June 9> -- In a year that has seen the real estate market fall to one of its lowest points in history, Showhomes, America’s largest home staging company, continues to beat market conditions and increase revenues. In many markets, Staged Showhomes are beating local market conditions by as much as 50% and this market success is fueling the company’s growth. Showhomes is pleased to announce the grand opening of Showhomes Memphis, the newest Showhomes franchise.
Showhomes, a nationally franchised company with 29 franchises in 19 states, helps homeowners sell high-end vacant homes. In 2007, not only did the company experience a 45 percent revenue growth over 2006, but it continued to open new franchises across the country that have become a real aid to home owners and realtors. Showhomes most recent success story belongs to Heidi and Jeff Ross, owners of the newest Showhomes location in Memphis, TN.
The Ross’ achieved tremendous success with their first Showhomes franchise which they opened five years ago in the Little Rock area. The Ross’ decided to expand their quality services to western Tennessee by opening their new franchise in the Memphis metro area. “We are looking forward to working with new realtors and providing opportunities for home managers in the western Tennessee area,” said Jeff Ross. “When we purchased our franchise in 2003, we decided then that we would build our franchise on quality and not quantity. Now the fruits of our consistent diligence have paid off. We believe the key to our success has been practicing quality in every area, without compromise, and the continual discipline of marketing to our customers. We now look forward to duplicating our Central Arkansas success as we begin a new franchise in Memphis.”
“We are very proud of Heidi and Jeff’s success,” said Matt Kelton, C.O.O. for Showhomes Franchise Corporation. “Showhomes is in no way new to Tennessee; our corporate headquarters is here. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to expand our name and services westward, and the Ross’ are exactly the right people to do it having earned the Franchise of the Year and Strongest Market Presence awards in 2007.”
“Jeff and Heidi Ross operate a business that provides true value to realtors and home owners in and around Little Rock,” said Bert Lyles, Showhomes CEO. “They produce some of the best home staging in the country and have a lengthy track record of succeeding and beating market conditions. We are proud of their performance and look forward to what they will accomplish in 2008.”
