What is a Professional Organizer?

After having published many hundreds of blogs over the past few years I realized that I should probably write one about just what a professional organizer is. I get many phone calls from prospective clients and the first things they ask is “what do you do?” and “how do you do it?”

More than just stuff

Organizing is a lot more complex than just going through your “stuff” and deciding what stays and what goes. I like to tell people during our initial consultation that hiring an organizer is similar to hiring a plumber, landscaper, cleaning service or a plumber. We are here to perform the tasks that need to be done and for which you just don’t have the skill, time, ability or the inclination to do yourself.

Reduced stress immediately

You know that feeling of calm and accomplishment after your house is cleaned? Well, it’s even more powerful, positive and transformational right after your home is professionally organized. You will experience a feeling of calm and your stress level will be automatically reduced. Guaranteed! Even better, we will leave you with a system to keep you organized.

Trained, skilled specialists

Professional organizing is an industry that has been developed in order to help individuals and businesses design systems and processes using organizing principles and transferring skills. We are trained, skilled specialists who help people create order where it is lacking in their lives, so that you can make long-term improvements and keep disorder at bay.

We have professional training and expertise. We will come in and assess not only what needs to be done but also drill down on how the disorder came to be in the first place and then develop and methodology for tackling the problem and creating a system that works for you to keep you organized long after we have left.

Tailoring organized systems

We get to know you and how you work and create and tailor systems around you instead of taking a cookie cutter approach. We stay up to date on the latest organizing trends and know all of the storage containers and systems that will work for you, as well as those that won’t.

Relationships with resources

We know and have solid relationships with all of the trades, stores and charities in your area so if you need a trade to take away refuse or need a storage locker we can recommend one and pass along our industry discount to you. Do you need painters, handymen, shredding companies or the like? We have you covered with reputable people we use and trust. If you want to donate any goods or sell any at a consignment shop we can recommend the best ones.

We work with a wide group of people and companies to de-clutter and organize. Families that need help after the loss of a loved one, blended families, people downsizing, seniors moving to smaller homes and people who just need help in sorting through the too many possessions that they have accumulated.

Organizing not just tidying up or cleaning. It is so much more than that. If you need a transformation in your home or your life, that’s where a professional organizer comes in. You would like to learn more about how we can create change in your life, contact us here.
