 Laura Podhaski originally started her career in Mortgage Banking and Finance in 1992. Seeing a need for change, has partnered with Marlene,owner of Showcase Home Design and co- founded Showcase Home University and Showcase Relocation Solutions. Laura brings with her an extensive design background in model home marketing, merchandising, international design and television set production.
Our niche concept was born from the necessity to help market homes during one of the longest real estate recessions in Southern California history. Simply put, we brought the builder “model Home” concept to the re-sale market. Soon the word “Showcasing” and “Staging” were branded as a verb in the industry for home interior merchandising, re-design and enhancement.
Over the years, Showcase has earned quality endorsements from some very tough critics. Ninety percent of the largest Real Estate Companies in Southern California Residential Real Estate reference us, “as an inspired concept and one of the best tools in real estate marketing.” All great compliments to be sure, but the truth is, we have always believed we do more than create a vision of emotion and excitement in our client’s homes. We make the sale happen!
With 1,800 homes valued well over $144 million, Showcase has achieved a quicker sale for the best possible price for private Homeowners, Corporations, Banks and Relocation Companies. Finally the mainstream media has now proclaimed interior staging, enhancement and merchandising as “one of the biggest secrets to sales success in the Real Estate industry today.
Until you have seen the impact of showcase merchandising, you may not truly understand its power. Take a tour through our looking glass and know that between the buyers eye and reality is Emotion….and the results, Sold!
