Careerbuilder and CNN Listed Home Stager as the Top Emerging Career in the Down Economy Learn how others are finding a career with legs in Showhomes: Carla and Jonathan Cheifetz recently opened a Showhomes franchise in Princeton, NJ after both lost their jobs and became frustrated with the lackluster job market. Jonathan, a former Wall Street executive and Carla, previously the director of a non-profit, both lost their jobs during the economic downturn of 2008. Both looked for new jobs for months before deciding to take their careers in a new direction. "I was very impressed that Showhomes has been around for 23 years," Carla says. "It`s an especially effective solution in our Northeast housing market, where many homeowners are incredibly frustrated because their properties have lingered on the market for so long. You see vacant homes for sale on every street – the opportunity for this business in this region is huge." Jonathan Cheifetz agrees. "We are working with one client whose home has been on the market for six years," Jonathan says. "She sat down and cried when she found us." As the economy sputters into the final quarter of 2009, the high-end real estate market is still in the dumps. While sales of lower end, entry-level homes have increased, sales of homes over $500,000 are moving at a glacial pace - if at all. Showhomes is recruiting franchise owners who love real estate: no home staging experience needed, low initial investment and a work from home business model. Considered one of the pioneers in the Home Staging industry, Showhomes has been in business since 1986 and has been franchised since 1994. With 52 franchises in more than 23 states, Showhomes has helped sell more than $8 billion in residential real estate and over 25,000 homes since 1986. Because each franchise has an exclusive, protected territory, franchise owners never compete for customers. Hear what our franchisee, Marisa Salas, has to say about our concept. A strong presence in the real estate community with a 20-year track record of success, Showhomes has been recognized by national business and real estate publications. The company’s services have been featured in leading print and broadcast media, including the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, CNN-fn and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
