Showhomes Franklin, which opened on October 1st of last year, helps sellers stage their homes for the best offer and a quick sale. They can even turn so-called “quirky” characteristics into eye-catching unique features.
“I never ignore the architecture or ‘quirks,’” says Jamie Little, who along with her husband Jason Little, is the co-franchise owner of Showhomes Franklin. “Usually turns out that the buyers like it.”
Living through a pandemic served as a catalyst to make the couple’s dream of owning their own business a reality. Due to frequent moves, Jamie discovered a passion and talent for preparing a house for sale, and loved the creativity that was involved. And Jason loves projects, so they
make a great team. The dynamic couple enjoys working together, and when they decided to buy a franchise, Showhomes - with its family atmosphere - was the perfect fit.
“I’m a people person,” says Jason. “I love meeting new people and working with Realtors®. Just about every Realtor® I have worked with…we have developed a friendship.”
Jamie is a practicing construction litigation attorney who has a team at Showhomes. “Every stage I oversee, everything from conception to completion,” she says. Jason is in-house counsel. “Knowing we are attorneys – there is a trust there,” he says.
Being part of the Showhomes franchise provides the support, resources, and business plan to foster their success. There are also regular meetings with the over 45 other franchisees. Showhomes.com/franklin
