Showhome Girls

Showhome Girl was recommended to us by our real estate agent.  We
contacted Cindy. She was very responsive, answered all our questioned,
promised to stage the house to our satisfaction, and pledged to manage
the property until the closing.  Based on our agent's recommendations,
and Cindy's very personable appeal and strong assurances, we signed wit
her.  Once we signed, we never heard from her again.  We had lots of
issues regarding how she staged and questions regarding how to get
reimbursement for utilities and other expenses she agreed to paid. 
After weeks of nonresponse, I threatened to break the contract if she
did not respond.  I then received a response (with the sort of excuses
that are worthy of a high school student explaining why he did not turn
in his paper to his teacher in a timely manner).  We continued to have a
problem from time to time.  Eventually, my real estate agents ended up
having to do all the things that Showhomes promised to do.  I believe that our real estate agents should, in fact, get the commission.  Then when we finally got the house under contract, she moved the managers from the
house without informing us, and we ran into expenses that she was
supposed to handle.  Overall, a miserable experience.   In fairness, though, her website boasts lots of awards.
