Organizing FAQ

Who can use a professional organizer?

Everyone! Whether you don’t have the time, energy, or skills to organize on your own, you deserve to have a home that serves you and makes you feel amazing!

What does a session look like?

We start with a a free phone consultation to talk about the space you want to work on and what your goals for the space are. We will schedule a 3-4 hour session to do the project. Some projects can be completed in one session and some may need more. 

During the session, we work together to determine which items you want to keep and which items can be donated or thrown away. Once we have the ‘keep’ items, we decide on effective places for each item to live. If specific organizing materials are recommended, I will send you links to purchase them. These may include, bins, lazy susans, drawer dividers, or hooks. 

Finally, I will label shelves, cabinets, and bins to allow for the space to be maintained by you and all members of your household.

Do I need to be there together with the organizer?

The most effective organizing happens when we work together. I can hear about how you use the space, what has been working and not working, and I can also give you lots of tips and tricks as we work. If you absolutely cannot be there, we can make it work by having you available to answer questions at the beginning, middle and end of the session.

What is the cost?

The hourly rate for organizing is $70. If I come together with another organizer the rate is only $110 an hour. With two organizers we do double the work in the same amount of time! A sliding scale is available.

Should I buy organizing bins before the session?

It depends. When we talk on the phone, we will decide on a plan. Either we will use what you already have and fill in the missing pieces after the session. Or, I will send you links to the items I recommend you purchase before the session. I usually buy organizing supplies from Target or Amazon.
