Q: What are the benefits of hiring a Professional Organizer?

A professional organizer helps to guide, encourage and educate you throughout the organizing process. They motivate, coach and instruct you about the basic principles of organizing by offering specific solutions designed for your individual needs. Working with a professional organizer can save you in time and money, reduce your stress and help you live the organized life you always imagined.

Q: How long is the organizing session going to take?

Each job is uniquely different and the total hours needed to get your space organized depend on the scope of the project and how quickly decisions can be made.

Q: Will I have to throw things out?

Letting go of things is normally part of the organizing process, however, it's more complicated than that. Some items will be easier to let go of, while others may have an emotional connection. The goal is to determine which items have present, and future value and which do not. We also strongly encourage recycling. If items are reusable, they can find a new home through an organization that serves the community.

Q: How much is getting organized going to cost?

The cost depends entirely on the scope of the project, which we assess during our consultation. Over the years we have helped people with a variety of budgets. Even if we only work for one session, you will find that being organized is an investment in yourself, which pays huge dividends in saved time and decreased stress. Please call if you have any specific questions regarding your project, we will be happy to help you find out if my services are right for you.

Q: I am embarrassed to have you see my mess. Will my session be confidential?

You can rest assured that all client information will stay completely confidential and that you will not be judged by your circumstances. We are happy and proud you have taken the right steps and you should be proud too! This is a team effort and we are with you every step of the way!

Q: Will you do the work for me, or just tell me what to do?

This is a personal decision depending on your needs and budget. Most clients want hands-on help with the sorting, categorizing, and setting up of systems. Other clients are self-motivated and just need some professional advice to create a game plan that they can implement on their own.

Q: What should I do to prep for our consultation?

Please do not clean up your home prior to our first meeting, no matter how bad you think it may be.  If we don't see your home in its day to day condition, we won't be able to properly assess your needs. Remember, we are here to help you, and won't judge!
