Showhomes<\/u><\/a>, a home services franchise specializing in accelerating the sale of upscale homes, has launched a new location in Atlanta, marking its first franchise in the Georgia city as the brand continues to expand to new territories across the country.<\/p>\n

For franchisees Reginald (Reggie) and Sylvia Gholston<\/u>, who officially opened in March, it\u2019s the culmination of a long journey of finding a franchise that fit their skill set as a couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always wanted to own a business together,\u201d said Sylvia, a college professor with a PhD in business administration. \u201cWe looked at other franchises, including fast food, lab work and even crime scene cleaning, but none of them worked for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

After working with a franchise coach who introduced the couple to Showhomes<\/a>, they knew they had found the right venture. \u201cWe instantly liked Showhomes,\u201d said Sylvia. \u201cIt ticked off all the boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reggie, who holds a degree in mechanical engineering, is a longtime interior design enthusiast who has served as the go-to design consultant for family and friends for years. \u201cI just love HGTV,\u201d Reggie said. \u201cI watch it all the time to get ideas for my own home and for friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Sylvia\u2019s business expertise and Reggie\u2019s passion for design, Showhomes turned out to be the perfect fit. In less than three months, the couple has hit the ground running, inking their first job the day they opened their doors.<\/p>\n

So far, the couple has been busy working on a variety of projects, from interior design work known as occupied staging to traditional staging projects for homes about to go on the market. Not only is it fun to work with an array of clients \u2014 from new buyers to sellers to homeowners \u2014 Reggie and Sylvia said it\u2019s also allowed them to meet whatever demand comes their way.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who might not be looking for staging to sell are finding our website and reaching out,\u201d Sylvia said. \u201cI had one woman call me recently who said \u2018I\u2019m not moving out, but my home needs some updates.\u2019 I think because of last year with everyone spending more time in their homes, they were seeing things they previously overlooked. A lot of people are just looking for improvements, and that\u2019s one of the things we\u2019re trained to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Reggie is well-versed in interior design, he said the training provided by Showhomes has taken his skill set to the next level. \u201cI feel like all those years of watching HGTV has led up to this,\u201d Reggie said. \u201cA lot of the things I\u2019d see on those shows started making sense. There\u2019s an art and a science to home staging.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the couple\u2019s new business is seeing the look of surprise on clients\u2019 faces when they walk in and realize that Reggie is heading up the design. \u201cI think they initially expect the woman would be doing that, so when he walks in and starts talking about pops of color and other design details, it\u2019s unexpected and memorable,\u201d Sylvia said.<\/p>\n

Sylvia has her hand in the design process as well, helping clients unclutter to show off the beauty of their homes while guiding them to realistic goals that work within their budgets. \u201cA lot of what we\u2019re doing is helping people fall in love with a home, whether it\u2019s theirs or the one they\u2019re going to buy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For this long-married couple, aligning their passions and skills with Showhomes has proven to be a showstopping success.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not only excited to bring our brand to Atlanta for the first time, but we\u2019re also thrilled to have Reggie and Sylvia as our first franchisees in the market,\u201d said Showhomes COO Matt Kelton<\/u><\/a>. \u201cThey bring an energy that is infectious, and we\u2019re lucky to have them on our team. It\u2019s a pleasure to support them as they grow and provide what is really an essential service to homeowners and Realtors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
