Let’s be real, moving to a new home is super exciting, but the actual moving day is the literal worst. Pre-move or post-move organizing assistance from Organizing Central can ease some of the stress. We can help by:
Professional organizers can help you with your organizing projects in a variety of ways. If you have a lot of clutter, we’ll start by working side-by-side to eliminate the unnecessary stuff. Then we move on the organizing phase. During this stage of the process, I can work independently to implement the organizing system. That means you can grab a cup of coffee and relax — I’ve got this!
I continually invest in education, training and professional associations to ensure I’m providing my clients with highest level of service, knowledge, and professionalism. I am a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO), the Inspired Organizer program through Pro Organizer Studio, and The Photo Managers. I take courses regularly and participate in networking groups with other pro organizers across the country.
Absolutely not. The final decisions on what to keep and what to toss are always made by the client. A basic principle of organizing is that the less stuff you own, the easier it is to organize. Therefore, I may ask a lot of questions to prompt you to think hard about the keep-vs-toss decision. But the final decision is always yours!
Just about every one of my clients expresses this concern to me in our consultation or first session. I understand the concern because it can feel very scary to invite a stranger into your home to go through your stuff! That’s why it’s so important for you work with an organizer who has the proper training not only in organizing techniques, but in ethics and professionalism. I abide by the NAPO Code of Ethics, and especially the ideals of confidentiality and creating a judgement-free environment for my clients. This means I’ll never tell anyone who my clients are, and I certainly won’t tell them about that nasty science experiment we found in the back of your pantry. You’ll notice I also don’t typically use before and after photos of client homes in my marketing materials, because I feel that sharing those types of photos can easily conflict with both of these principles. In short, I will always treat your home, family, and belongings with the utmost care and consideration.
The short answer is yes. Have you discussed with the recipient that you are gifting them with organizing services? If not, I suggest talking with them first to see if organizing services is something they’d be interested in. Sometimes people who appear to be disorganized to others actually do have a system that’s working for them. If someone is not ready to move forward with implementing a new organizing system, there’s not much a professional organizer can do to help. If you’d like to move forward with purchasing a gift certificate, feel free to give me a call or reach out using the ‘Let’s Connect’ button below.
That depends. If there’s decluttering to be done, we’ll need to work together so you can make decisions on what to keep or toss. If you have already sorted through your stuff, I can jump right in to the organizing and work solo while you relax or tackle other things on your to do list.
Click the ‘Let’s Connect’ button located at the bottom of every page. You’ll get an email reply within a few hours inviting you to schedule a brief 15-minute phone call with me. During that call, we’ll talk about your needs and how I might be able to help. Once your questions are answered, we can schedule a more in-depth consultation or your first organizing session whenever you’re ready to move forward.
When I arrive at your home, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get to work. I follow the SPACE organizing process – Sort, Purge, Assess, Contain, and Equalize. So the first thing we’ll do is remove everything from the area to sort and purge. At this stage, we may need to work closely together as you make decisions on which items to part with and which to keep. Once we reach the Assess stage, I can take over from there and implement an organizing solution that will work for you and your family.
Absolutely! Keep in mind that kids and pets can slow us down, but no need to arrange childcare unless you prefer to do so. In fact, depending on the area we’re organizing, I sometimes like to involve kids in the decision-making because it helps them feel ownership over the space and they’re more likely to keep it organized.
The number of sessions will depend on many factors, such as the number of items in the space, the client’s speed when making decluttering decisions, and distractions that may be present during sessions. I can give a rough estimate in a consultation, but keep in mind it’s only an estimate and it may change during our work together.
I do cleaning incidental to the organizing process, such as dusting shelves, sweeping, or vacuuming. If deep cleaning is needed, I can make a referral to local cleaning businesses who may be able to help.
Buying organizing supplies is always optional. Often, I can work with what you already have on hand. Once we complete the Sorting and Purging stage, we can make recommendations for any new products that might be helpful. But again, purchasing products is always optional.
