FREE 30-MINUTE CLUTTER ASSESSMENT
|
All new in-home clients begin the process with a free assessment. During this analysis, we’ll address your area(s) of concern and determine goals for your space with particular consideration for your personality, budget, and timeline. This meeting is critical because it sets the stage for success. In order for us to change a space and create new organizing habits, we must understand the history of the space as well as experience your organizing challenges in real-time. In other words, we don't want you to tidy up before we come. We want to see the space as it normally functions so that we're able to select strategies that will result in your success!
While we do not give time quotes per space, we will give you time averages in order to help you pick the most economical package. The amount of time it takes to actually declutter and organize a space is highly dependent on:

HOME ORGANIZING SESSIONS
|

Every space begins with sorting all the items in your space into like categories. From here, you'll be able to see which items are in excess (i.e., if you have 15 black cardigans and really only need 1 or 2) and make informed decisions on what to edit (donate, recycle, or toss). Next, we'll return the items you sorted, but did not purge, to their most efficient and accessible storage locations based on your lifestyle and needs. Finally, we'll discuss how to determine where new items should be stored as they come into your space to guard against new clutter.
As coaches who want you to make the best use of your time and investment, we'll work to make the decisions easy. We'll also help you to assign proper value to your items so that it's simple to determine whether an item should be kept or moved along to a new home. One size doesn't fit all, so we'll suggest tried-and-true strategies along the way based on your needs. We offer single sessions as well as discounted packages of hours that can be divided up into multiple sessions. We strive for a three to four-hour sessions so that we can make visual progress as well as take care to avoid decision-fatigue. Getting organized is hard work, and most clients make their best decisions within that time frame. Longer sessions are reserved for clients who do not need to make as many decisions (i.e., pre-packing, un-packing, sorting, etc.) or who are on a tight deadline. Payment is due at the end of each work day for single sessions. All discounted packages must be prepaid by the first session. Cash, check and ALL major credit cards are accepted. We're a massive fan of paperless systems, so you'll be able to access your invoices and pay for your sessions all from the comfort of your favorite chair. |

MOVING SERVICES
|
|
The kids have moved out and you're ready to reduce your square footage. Not a problem! We'll help you identify the items that you need, use, and love so that donating, recycling, and/or tossing the rest isn't as difficult. Our Donation Partners are always on the look-out for specific items and your possessions could bless someone else. Learn more about our partners here.
When selling your home, you want to sell your space --- not your stuff! Let us help you declutter your space so that your home sells as quickly as possible. Homes that sit on the market for an extended period of time often lose $3,000-$5,000 off the asking price. Pre-move decluttering and organizing pays off! We'll also create a system for packing so that movers know exactly where to place your boxes in the next space. You've just closed on the house of your dreams or you're finally moving in together! Don't let this exciting time become a source of frustration. We can help you choose the most efficient and accessible placements for your prized possessions. We can also help you navigate the delicate path of living with a disorganized roommate or spouse. Unpacking services do not include moving large pieces of furniture, assembling furniture, hanging items, or moving anything over 35 lbs. |
