Why should I hire a Professional Organizer?

YOU CAN LEARN TO BE ABSOLUTELY ORGANIZED.  Contrary to what most people believe, you are not born knowing how to organize.  It is a learned trait and can be taught at any stage in ones life.  A Professional Organizer can help you achieve your goals such as:

• Saving money by not purchasing items you already have but can’t find.

• Saving time by knowing where to find your things.

• Locating your items where they are used.

• Reducing the overall stress in your home and life.

Most people start off motivated to organize a space but very few have enough time or energy at the end of the day to finish the project.  Absolutely Organized will help you stay on track to complete your organizing task and see the positive results of being organized.

 How does your service work? 

We offer a free initial telephone assessment to learn about your organizing challenge.  We want to understand as much as we can about what is working for you and what is not working in your home before we get there. 

We offer a free initial 30-minute on-site assessment when booking a work session.  This assessment helps us determine the size and scope of the project.

We offer a written home assessment to help plan out a longer-term goal of organizing your entire space.  The complete plan will include time estimates and product recommendations and can be implemented on your own or with the aid of Absolutely Organized.  The cost for this written plan is based on our hourly rate and will be determined during the initial on-site assessment.

Our working sessions are the times when we actually get down to work sorting, purging,  grouping like items together and finding a new home for all of your belongings.  We like to work in three hour sessions and realize that some spaces will take several sessions to get the space fully organized and functional. 

How long will it take to get my house organized?

Each client has different needs, wants and expectations.  We will be able to discuss the amount of time once we have seen the space and discussed the way the client wants the space to function. 

Can I hire you for small projects?

Yes.  Absolutely Organized has a minimum working session of two hours which is usually just enough to tackle a small reach-in closet or small pantry.

What can I expect when we get started?

You will be amazed how much Absolutely Organized can get done in a short amount of time.  Clients are constantly saying how pleased they are that we can make such a big difference with just one working session.  After the initial meeting, we will have a game plan that will allow us to jump right in and get started.  We focus on the visible clutter first by gathering and sorting like items with like items. We then determine if there are any items to be discarded, donated or gifted.  After that we figure out which containers are necessary and finally work on making the space more attractive and functional.

How do I stay organized once my space is looking great?

We specialize in creating a system that works for each client.  By understanding your natural style and likes and dislikes, we will establish a system that is easy for you to maintain.  Of course, we also know that life can change quite rapidly and we may need to review what we created.  We have maintenance agreements that we can set up on a routine basis and we encourage reviewing your organizing goals periodically to make sure you are still using the space for the same needs.

Do you have evening and weekend hours available?

Yes.  We are available to schedule initial assessments and working sessions in the evenings and on weekends.  As a working mother, I understand how difficult it can be to schedule time to get organized during the day. 

Yes, we do.  Absolutely Organized is a great way to help a friend or family member overcome their hesitation about getting started with a Professional Organizer.  We offer gift certificates in any dollar amount.  Please contact us for additional details.
