Showhomes — Elevate Every Showing

Updating & listing prep

Get the details ready before your property goes to market.

Buyers notice the small things: a dim room, a tired finish, a fixture that dates the house. Listing preparation addresses those details in the right order, before photography.

Who it's for

Sellers with a property that needs attention before listing, and agents who would rather have the work coordinated than chase it themselves.

  • Paint and wall finishes

    Neutralizing bold rooms, patching, and freshening trim so surfaces read clean in photography.

  • Lighting

    Replacing dated fixtures, correcting bulb temperature, and improving rooms that photograph dim.

  • Flooring and surfaces

    Addressing worn or mismatched flooring where it holds a property back.

  • Fixtures and hardware

    Small replacements that make kitchens and bathrooms feel maintained.

  • Presentation details

    Decluttering, curb-appeal tidying, and final styling before photography.

Service availability varies by studio.

What affects pricing

The condition of the property, the improvements you choose, material selections, and the schedule. Every project is quoted after a walkthrough.

Does Showhomes perform the trade work?+

Studios differ. Some coordinate approved local trades; others advise and manage the schedule. Not every studio performs licensed trade work directly, so your local team will explain what it handles.

How is scope decided?+

A walkthrough produces a prioritized list. You decide what to take on, and the studio confirms what falls within its approved scope.

Can this be combined with staging?+

Yes, where the studio offers both. Sequencing updates before staging and photography usually gives the best result.
