Frequently asked questions

Every project is unique. Pricing depends on the size and scope of the work and how many areas we are tackling. I often suggest we begin with a 3-hour session to start. Then, we will have a better idea of the number of additional hours that may be needed. I share my pricing document after our initial consultation.

I offer a complimentary initial consultation to learn about your goals and see your space, virtually or in person. We’ll talk through your organizing style and create a plan for next steps. Most clients begin with a 3-hour work session, tailored to your needs and schedule. Before each follow up appointment, we review what’s working and make adjustments as needed.

Most of my clients tell me they feel overwhelmed and aren’t sure where to start. I’ve worked with individuals and families of all ages, including singles, families with children, business owners and anyone who wants a more organized home or office.

I also support seniors who are downsizing to move into a smaller space or to age in place, as well as clients preparing to sell their home while still living in it. Whether you want a more functional layout, a refreshed look, or better systems for your home or office, I can help you create a space that works.

There is no need to prepare your home or office in any way before I come. In fact, seeing your space in it’s natural state helps us figure out where you need organizing systems to support you better. We will organize areas as we go so that you have a sparkling, organized space when everything is complete!

Please do not buy anything. We will determine what, if anything, may be needed as we go. Often, we find useful organizing supplies in your home or office as we work through it. I will bring a small assortment or organizing supplies which you can purchase if needed. Also, if additional products would be useful, I will measure and send links for you to purchase.

It is not necessary for you to be in the room. We will discuss the goals for your space at our initial consultation, so I have a clear understanding of what you want done. If I have questions about certain items, I will clearly leave the items with notes for you to review when you return.

Absolutely not. These are your things. We will talk through options as we declutter. As we sort through items, it is easier to see the quantity of items that you have. You may decide to keep some things initially, but let them go later. That is completely up to you.

I’m trained through the Institute for Organizing Professionals, the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals, Staging Studio, and Transformations Staging. I hold certificates in Residential Organizing, Move Management, and Home Staging, and I’m a Certified Home Stager and Master Color Consultant. I’ve also completed the Occupied Consultation Specialist training program.

Home organizing and home staging are two different services with distinct goals. Home organizing is all about creating functional, personalized systems to help the current residents live more efficiently and comfortably. It focuses on decluttering, optimizing storage, and improving the flow of everyday life.

In contrast, home staging is designed to prepare a home for sale by making it visually appealing to potential buyers. The goal is to highlight the home’s strengths, create a neutral, inviting atmosphere, and help buyers picture themselves living there. While organizing supports long-term use, staging is a temporary strategy to make a strong first impression during the selling process.
