Malcolm Nicholl Enjoys High-End Flexibility As A Showhomes Home Manager<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emily Clouse <\/a>Staff Writer\u00a0 \u00a0Franchisee Spotlight<\/a><\/p>\n

Malcolm Nicholl and his wife Sandy aren\u2019t quite ready to settle down yet\u2014even if they are in their 60s. As big travelers, the Nicholls will sometimes spend six months at their family home in the United Kingdom, then hop over to Florence for a few months. While their wanderlust is still going strong, the pair recently came back to San Diego to put down a root or two. But not too many.<\/p>\n

The couple isn\u2019t new to the area. Before deciding to travel all over the world, they lived in a multi-million dollar home in Rancho Cucamonga. As a journalist, Malcolm Nicholl was once the youngest Bureau Chief at the London Mirror and later worked for the National Enquirer. Nicholl says he \u201caccidentally\u201d became an entrepreneur, though he did very well for himself, helping launch $50 million companies. These days, he and Sandy run their business out of their home, and he\u2019s able to focus on his first love, writing, by namelessly inking books for celebrities, business executives, academics, and doctors, people he says have a story to tell but can\u2019t write themselves.<\/p>\n

In August 2018, Nicholl signed on as a Home Manager with\u00a0Showhomes<\/a>, a franchise dedicated to transforming high-end vacant houses into fully furnished, inviting homes. The couple adds human value to the residences by giving that lived-in, genuine warmth that is important for buyers to feel as they\u2019re shopping for their next home.<\/p>\n

Nicholl says he\u2019s able to live a luxury lifestyle in homes that are beautifully staged and furnished by\u00a0Showhomes<\/a>. Since he and Sandy both work from home and still want to travel, they have a lot of flexibility. The first home they moved into was a $3.4 million home in the Santaluz neighborhood, which sold quickly. Next, they found themselves just four blocks from the ocean in La Jolla. \u201cWe have the freedom of being college-aged, but at our age,\u201d said Nicholl, adding that they were looking forward to a trip to Mexico the next week.<\/p>\n

As a former owner of a multi-million dollar home himself, Nicholl says that he is a true believer in the approach Showhomes takes to hiring executives as Home Managers. \u201cIt\u2019s a great approach from a security point of view. The Home Managers add a deeper layer to the staging of the home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Showhomes Home Managers pay a highly reduced fee to inhabit the high-end digs\u2014one third to half the price of rent, depending on the market. They also undergo rigorous vetting, including a complete background check, must be petless nonsmokers and be flexible to showings and moving several times per year. In the end, the company only approves around 10 percent of candidates.<\/p>\n

Showhomes COO Matt Kelton said that Home Managers are a key component of the franchise\u2019s success. \u201cA vacant property can create low ball offers with the thinking that the owner is desperate to sell,\u201d said Kelton.<\/p>\n

Home Managers like Nicholl provide major monetary benefits for sellers, too. They pay for some holding expenses such as water and electricity and save the owner a ton on insurance. \u201cA vacant home can cause the owner\u2019s general liability insurance to skyrocket\u2014or even be canceled,\u201d said Kelton. \u201cAt the end of the day, we have a long track record of helping homes sell faster\u2014and for more money\u2014while providing peace of mind to the homeowner.\u201d<\/p>\n
