Showhomes Stages NFL Player Philip Rivers’ San Diego Home

NFL quarterback Philip Rivers has put his $3.7 million home in San Diego, California up for sale and entrusted Showhomes’ real estate presentation experts, Chris and Lisa Gulliver, to prepare the home for showings.

With COVID-19 still limiting in-person showings, Lisa knew she had to get the home’s look right for both virtual and socially distanced showings. Given the size of the Rivers crew — an 11-person family with nine kids of various ages — you might expect some natural wear-and-tear. But in an interview with the FOX News affiliate in San Diego, Lisa said the opposite was the case.

“We wanted to bring out the best, most dramatic features of the home,” said Lisa on the segment. “They took good care of their home, so all we needed was some surface work and bringing in a lot of high-end luxury furniture to give people the possibility to see the vision of what this house can be for them.”

In order to bring out the best of the home, Lisa sought to underline the fun, family-casual vibe the home emanates. The staging and light remodeling provided a fresh look to the home in order to bring out the hip but homey atmosphere to its truest potential.

The Gullivers’ greatest task was staging the kitchen, which Lisa revamped with new, bright marble countertops and freshly painted cabinets. The innate purpose, she said, was to demonstrate a room that could shift from family living to dinner parties with ease.

The backyard is an area where the Gullivers believe potential buyers will see the fun that can be had with the family right at home. With an outdoor pool table, a swimming pool, putting green, and children’s play-home throughout the open space, the yard is the perfect spot for parents to spend time with the kids. All ages of the family, Lisa contends, could have a good time at the home and have a beautiful outlook of the ocean to tie the living experience together.
