 Why hire a professional organizer?


There are so many reasons why you may hire a professional organizer but here are just a few: One, you want to save time and money. How many times a day do you look for something you misplaced? Two, you want to reduce stress. A professional organizer can help you to develop habits and routines for sustainable organizing systems throughout your home or office. Three, you want help making decisions. You don’t know what to keep and what to purge.

 

 

Do I have to buy a bunch of expensive systems and organizers?


No! As part of our virtual meeting or phone call we’ll discuss organizing tools you may want to help you achieve your goals. These are suggestions to help your space function for years to come, but not mandatory. If you have extra bins laying around set those aside and we will work with what you have!

 

Do you clean?


No. Cleaning Services come in to vacuum, wash windows, and dust the house when it is dirty. Professional Organizers help when your house is not functional due to clutter—and in need of organization. I will work with you to create order, saving you time and money.

 

How long will this take?


I know everyone hates this answer, but it depends on the area. Smaller spaces like a laundry room, pantry, bathroom or kitchen cupboards can usually be done in an hour. Medium spaces like a bedroom closet or a kids space may take three hours. Downsizing and estate clean out may take a few sessions to achieve your goals. I am an expert at time management and will be sure to provide you the best estimates before we begin any project!

 

Can you help me pack and unpack?




Yes! I can help with decluttering and packing in an organized way, as well as unpacking and setting up sustainable solutions in your new home. This is a popular option because my clients love starting out in their new home feeling settled and organized!

 

Do you assist with downsizing?




Yes! Downsizing can be tough on a family; you are going through a lifetime of memories! I can help make the transition smoother by offering a variety of services. If you are thinking about downsizing, reach out! I am able to customize services to fit your unique needs.

 

Do I need to be home during my in-person session?



You do not need to be there, the whole time. I do need a few minutes to walk the space together, but then you are free to do your own thing!

 

How should I prepare for our virtual meeting?



Jot down your problem areas and what you would like to see from those spaces. This will help us create a sustainable solution for each area, to allow for long term organization! 


 

Will you throw everything away?



NO! We will work together to sort out what gets tossed, donated, or sold.


 

What is your policy on confidentiality? 



Our contract ensures the privacy of my clients. I will not discuss your business with anyone, share photos of your space without permission, or reveal that you are a client without your permission. Due to the sensitive nature of our work and the high level of trust it requires our clients to place in me, you can be assured of 100% confidentiality.  

 

What about pictures or videos? 



Part of the process is seeing the before and after. Any photos or videos will be sent to you after our session. I will not share your photos or videos (or your name), without your permission. 


 

How do I know if I want in-person or virtual? 



We can discuss what will be best for you, based on your goals, during our initial virtual visit or phone call. High level, virtual organization is for you, if:  You are ready to jump in and organize but don’t know where to start. I can provide guidance and accountability.


 

Do you do gift certificates? 



Yes! A professional organizing service is a great gift for a bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, or moving gift.


 

What forms of payment are accepted? 



Venmo, Paypal, Check or Cash
