Who wouldn\u2019t want that?<\/p>\n<p>My name is Patricia Fears Ruffner, and I am the owner of Your Front Door Home Staging, LLC. \u00a0I named my business Your Front Door Home Staging because this is where your home selling starts. \u00a0This is what the buyers see first when they arrive at your home. \u00a0And this is what resonated with me when I was throwing ideas around for the name of my business!<\/p>\n<p>Home Staging is a relatively new niche in the real estate market and it is quickly becoming the norm, rather than the trend. \u00a0Twenty years ago, no-one worried about staging. As\u00a0a post on the legal website\u00a0NOLO.com\u00a0points out:\u00a0\u201cGiving your home a good scrubbing and hiding the kitty litter was considered enough before putting out the \u2018for sale\u2019 sign.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in this new media age, most buyers start the home buying process by looking at listings and pictures on the MLS online. \u00a0If the photos are not appealing, the buyers do not request a showing, and there goes another potential buyer for your home. \u00a0(According to a Google\/National Association of Realtors (NAR) report \u00a0\u2013\u00a092% use the Internet during their home search.)<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there is a cost for staging. \u00a0However, this fee should be considered an investment in the sale of your property. \u00a0The ROI is anywhere from 5-20%. \u00a0That\u2019s more money in your pocket after the sale of your home.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Statistics show that a non-staged home is on the market 73% longer than a staged home.<\/li>\n<li>non-staged homes sit on the market for an average of 90 days, staged homes are only on the market for\u00a0an average of 11 days. In fact, 95 percent of staged homes sell in\u00a011 days or less.<\/li>\n<li>Staged homes sell for an average of 17 percent more than their non-staged counterparts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From a quick consultation to a \u00a0full-scale staging project, I can help make your home into a showpiece \u00a0for the home sale listing. \u00a0I can do as much or as little as you want and\/or need.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. \u00a0And please, don\u2019t be a stranger! \u00a0Reach out to me with questions or requests for appointments. Your pockets will be glad you did!<br \/>\nCheers!<\/p>\n<p>-Trish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my first blog! \u00a0This starts the beginning of my new chapter\u2013working with YOU to stage your home for a more profitable, quicker sale.
