Frequently Asked Questions- Ways to save money included

Services

Why do I need your services?

You need our services if you are selling, leasing, or living in your home. When selling/ leasing a home, value is added greatly through having a home that is completed and beautiful. If a home is designed right, people pay more and they might even pay extra for keeping the furnishings as is. The same thing goes for living in a home. The value added for your family will be worth more than money.

What services do you provide?

Please refer to our services page. These are our main services but we will consider doing any service that increases the value of a home. Even if that is just changing a mailbox, planting a tree, or adding fresh paint.

What makes Appreciated Estates Inc. better than everyone else?

We don’t pretend to be the best of the best, but as for cost to value added we don’t have any competition. Appreciated Estates Inc. is savvy when purchasing furnishings, accessories, supplies, tools, and anything that is for the function of the business.

We charge less and mostly help people on a budget. We keep profit margins low, so we can increase sales volume and help the communities we work for. The customers we have tend to be landlords, so by being low cost, we are able to stay within market value for rentals. This all depends though, we are able to do fantastic and outstanding design services, but this comes at a cost that many can not afford in this economy. If you are looking for the best value services, we are here for you.

What do you mean by “move-in ready”?

When purchasing this service, we will set you up for success in your new home. Whatever you need to acquire to make your house feel like a home, we will supply you with it. We price this service very low because we usually do multiple in one day (1st of the month typically). We look for deals quickly and purchase products in bulk when we are able. This means you save money!

Just tell us if you need kitchen supplies, groceries, cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies, dog supplies, bedding, linens, furniture, and more. Everything will be organized into containers upon delivery, unless they are items that will be placed in a cabinet or rack. As well, we will assemble your furniture!

This service makes things easier for your big move and is a massive help for bus goers. Don’t worry about carrying 20 grocery bags on the bus and making 10 trips to get everything you need.

Can I purchase the furniture provided from your company’s home staging services?

If a homebuyer is willing to buy the house with all the furniture provided through our home staging services, FANTASTIC!!! This will likely increase your home’s sale value and generate more profit upon closing.

We love when our staged items get sold, so of course we are prepared and excited to sell our furniture. Once we are done staging your home we provide a price to purchase the furniture as-is.

When and how will I receive my real estate photos?

We provide unedited photos and videos only. Regardless of whether additional marketing services are included, we’ll transfer the files captured by our drones and cameras onto a USB for you to retain, immediately after taking the photos and videos.

Location

I am in need of your services. Will you provide services in my area?

Depending on the size of the job, we are able to expand our range for services. Typically we provide services in and around the County of Simcoe. This includes Simcoe County, York Region, Grey County, Muskoka, Dufferin Region, and a portion of Parry Sound (up to Noble typically). It is best to contact us and tell us about the job, if we believe we can provide our services we will come to provide an estimate. We might have to get permits, which might take a few days.

Where are you located?

We do not currently have a location. As we are small company and like to be a small company, it is not something we have plans to add right now. But, we will see!

We are currently doing work in Simcoe County and the surrounding areas.

Where can I pick up my item?

We deliver our products in and around the County of Simcoe. The address entered at checkout is where we will organize to deliver and receive payment. If you need to change your delivery address, please contact us!

Time

When are you available?

We are obviously slower during the winter months, but there can be gaps in our schedule. We could have gaps in our schedule on short notice because of completing a job early, or on purpose to do jobs that are small (this is how we fund large jobs).

How long does it take to complete a project? How long does it take to prepare for a project?

Preparation and completion of projects differs widely, as the amount of work will differ. Some projects could take days, while others could take months. Preparation is not part of our billing process as it is mainly just waiting and timing deliveries.

Cost

Do you work on a hourly or a project basis?

We provide work on a project basis. We don’t believe in hourly work as our efficiency would be punished.

How do you save us money?

We use techniques that make our services cheaper than our competition. The purpose of our services are to raise your home’s value and improve lives. Our services are priced low to provide clients multiple services and gain volume through word of mouth and multiple jobs for property managers.

We encourage a cheaper cost of living and do what we can by lowering the cost of our services. Saving you money, so you can do more with your money.

How do you decide the cost?

We work differently than our competition. There is a minimum cost that we require for our time and effort, but anything exceeding that is what will determine the price of the goods (quality hopefully exceeding price). Depending on your budget we can find products from discount furniture warehouses, or we can buy you a $50,000 rug and a $400,000 Grand Vividus mattress by Hästens.

Can you work within my budget?

Yes, within reason. If you are reasonable, we are reasonable. We recommend to save some tasks for later to increase your budget on other services, if you are limited monetarily. We will honor estimates for 1 year if you have completely paid off your accounts and we have completed a job worth $2,000 or more for you. Loyal customers are what we want!

Determining an estimate

How do you determine an estimate?

You just need to show us your house and tell us what you want done and your preferences. No paperwork is necessary. We will send over an estimate after we calculate labor, the expected costs of furnishings, and supplies.

How long does an estimate last?

An estimate for our services lasts 30 days. The expiration date will be on the estimation form. This extends to 1-year if we have given you an estimate for another project that has been completely paid worth $2,000 or more. We love loyal clients and love seeing our previous work.

If an estimate for a project is too much, save part of it for later. By splitting it up into two projects, you can save for better furnishings in one section of your home. Doing so, can improve your home’s value even more.

Invoice

Will you bill me for add-ons?

Yes. If you have things to add-on to the job, we will make another invoice and that will be classified as another job.

What we wrote in the first invoice is what the cost is for the service we already agreed upon. You, the client, must pay 40% down for each “job”, meaning add-ons require new invoices.

Payment

I can’t pay the 40% down payment for your services, can I pay it all later?

No, we require 40% down. If you can’t afford the 40% payment right now, you can’t afford it. Wait a little bit, or do less work on your home.

We require a 100% down payment for our photography and drone photography services.

Will you accept a payment plan?

Yes, we will consider accepting payment plans, as long as 40% upfront is paid. The longevity of the payment plan will depend on the job size.

I can’t pay the rest of my balance, can I be late with my payment?

Depending. If you have shown that you want to pay the bill, we will consider allowing it to be late. But, interest will accrue. If you are not making an effort to get the outstanding balance paid, we will pursue payment in court (this is to ensure people don’t think they can take advantage of us).
