Frequently Asked Questions

You can take a look through this section and see some of the past questions that we have encountered.  If you have a question that you don't see listed here, feel free to contact our office and talk to one of our Professional Gift Consultants.

Isn't staging too expensive?

Certainly not!  You determine the budget that we work with!  All of our services have a "starting at" price that can be added to as you desire.  Each project is custom bid based on your individual needs.  Our prices start at only $250.  You will find that our services are very reasonable AND competitive.

Do I get a free consultation or estimate?

Blue Skyz offers a FREE 30 minute consultation to review our services and discuss the property.   You will be provided with a "ball-park" estimate upon request.

Should you wish for Blue Skyz to provide nothing more than staging advice so that you can perform the work, we will provide a complete consultation with a full written report itemizing what needs to be prepared and purchased to get the home in staging condition.  Our professional resources along with the name and number of each expert will be furnished to you so that special projects; such as painting or landscaping is handled by local companies who provide exceptional service.  The fee for this service to "do-it yourself" is $300.  We will also provide you with tips to have the most successful Open House possible and will give you our proprietary materials that help you show and sell your home quickly!

Do you own or rent your furnishings?

We do have a supply of furniture, bedding, artwork, decorations and accessories that we keep in our inventory.  On certain occasions, we will rent pieces from a local upscale furnishings store to complete our collections.  Due to liability issues, Blue Skyz does not rent furnishings to occupied homes.  Items can be purchased for occupied homes that will be the property of the client.  On occasion, Blue Skyz may be willing to buy back the items at 50% of the original purchase price.

How long is my contract in place?

Typically, the contract is in place for an automatic 60 days.  Your fee covers 60 days and should you close early, it does not result in a pro-rated refund of staging fees.

What payment methods to you accept?

Birdz and Beez strives to be as customer oriented as possible.  We accept cash, check and credit cards through PayPal for your convenience.

What do we do when we close on our property?

You or your Real Estate Agent are responsible for notifying Blue Skyz of the closing date and to make arrangements for the removal of furnishings within the specified initial term or subsequent terms to avoid additional charges.  Blue Skyz will make arrangements to empty house of furnishings within 10 business days.

Do you stage vacant properties?

Absolutely!  Vacant properties have so many vast possibilities when it comes to staging!  The costs to stage a vacant property are higher since ALL the furnishings have to be rented either from Blue Skyz or or an outside source.  But staging a vacant property is like starting with a clean slate.  There is no decluttering to do, no personal items to remove and a world of possibilities open to us in the selection of furnishings for your vacant property. 

Is there any proof that staging really works?

Yes, recent studies in the US have shown that staged homes sell for 6.9% more than market average and in half the average time.  For information, visit http://www.stagedhomes.com/public/statistics.php . 

Do you have a minimum fee that is required?

Our minimum fee is usually our staging consultation, that starts at $250.  Our prices are subject to change at our discretion at any time.  The prices on our website will be kept up to date however, if a posted price is incorrect we do reserve the right to cancel your order and refund your payment.
