Will I be pressured to spend all kinds of money on new closet systems, shelving systems or bins? Some items may be recommended, but if it is your desire, I will do my best to come up with solutions that work with the items that you have available in your home.

Why hire a Professional Organizer? A Professional Organizer will keep you motivated. With a personal coach and hand-on assistance the task of becoming organized will be much less overwhelming and you will be less likely to quit before your goals are met. I will provide an outside point of view to help you look at things objectively and give an opinion that may be helpful when making tough decisions.
You will benefit from my experience, I will help you by asking questions, providing organizational tips and advice. Finally, together we will go at a much faster pace than working alone.

How do I justify paying for this service? After completing a job, you will recognize the tremendous value. You will feel less stress, more in control, and feel more confident and positive about your home and office, not to mention you will be more efficient, which saves times and money.

How long will a project take? This is very difficult to determine, but with an Initial Consultation I will determine your needs and we’ll discuss your biggest problem areas. Usually each Organizational Session is completed in 3 to 6 hours. The number of sessions will depend on the scope of the project.

Will I be pressured into getting rid of stuff? No, you will always make the decision whether to keep or get rid of something. I will help you look at items objectively, you will never feel pressure. I will ask questions that will help you make the decision of what to keep and how to keep it.

Should I clean up before you come? No. I would like your house to be in usual operation. This will tell me about how you live your life, which will ultimately help me choose processes that will be good for you and your family or your business.

I would like to schedule a In-Home Consultation, but am worried about what you will think of my home? Please have no concerns over this. I have a non-judgmental attitude and completely understand how homes can quickly lose their effectiveness. For many people life takes over and the systems in homes can become inefficient. People work, have school activities and like to spend time with their families. Maintenance and updating systems get pushed lower on the priority list - as they should. This is understandable. No home is a mess, just opportunities for me to help you with your organization. Please understand that you are not alone in your desire for change, everyone has areas of their home or office in need of organization. I am understanding and empathetic towards every organizational challenge!

What is NAPO? I am a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers. It is a non-profit, professional association with members consisting of organizing consultants, speakers, trainers, authors, and manufacturers of organizing products. Members agree to operate their business under the NAPO’s code of ethics, including agreements to confidentiality and fair, independent pricing to all clients served.

What do you mean by Confidentiality? Confidentially is part of the ethics code provided from the National Association of Professional Organizers. I adhere strictly to this code of ethics. I do not talk about my clients, their home, any room, storage area or office to anyone. I do not tell anyone who my clients are and simply do not discuss jobs, period!

How do I keep up on the organization once you leave? During the organizational sessions I educate my clients to develop the skills necessary to best maintain the systems implemented. While organizing I will recommend solutions that will be best suited to each client’s personality, thus making it easier to maintain. In addition, many clients like to schedule a follow-up session several months down to road. During this follow-up session we will discuss how the system is working for you, now that it has been lived in for several months. Please be sure not to pass up this important component of the process. This will help work out any kinks in the system.
