Home Organization FAQ

WHAT DOES A PROFESSIONAL HOME ORGANIZER DO?

A Home Organizer is a professional that is here to help you create space and systems in your home to help you overcome clutter and disorganization. There is no one size fits all so Professional Organizers are skilled in identifying what works for each household and helping implement these systems into your everyday living. An organizer is not a housekeeper or cleaning person; rather they focus on getting to the bottom of why the disorganization started, putting systems in place so that the disorganization becomes organized and educating people on how to maintain these easy to follow organized systems. An organizer is there to help you sort, contain and organize your items with you.

DO I NEED TO BE PRESENT DURING THE ORGANIZING SESSIONS?

This varies for each client, depending on their preferences and comfort level. We are happy to work alongside you or have you join for part of the session. If you choose not to join the session, we will need you close by in case we have any questions along the way. Please keep in mind that the job will get done quicker if you are present.

SHOULD I CLEAN UP BEFORE YOU COME?

No, that is not necessary. We would like to see your space the way it is currently functioning in order to identify what is not working and assess what we can do to help it function to its fullest potential for your needs. We are here to help you, not judge you, so please keep that in mind during our visits to your home.

DO I NEED TO PURCHASE ANYTHING BEFORE YOU COME?

No! Please don’t go shopping! Firstly, we need to establish appropriate ‘homes’ for your items, then we will assess if we need any organizational tools and what they may be. We will discuss all options and find solutions that you are comfortable with. We are happy to make recommendations and if you would like any organizational tools to be purchased, we are happy to do so, for an additional fee.

DO I HAVE TO GET RID OF ANY OF MY BELONGINGS?

Our goal is to help enable your home to function as it was intended to. We will be here to encourage you every step of the way!

HOW LONG WILL THE ORGANIZING SESSIONS TAKE?

There are many factors involved that affect how long it takes to organize a space. Some being if the client is working alongside us, or if the client needs additional time to purge items or make decisions. We understand that the de-cluttering process can be very emotionally exhausting for some people and we are highly respectful of that factor, therefore, we do not like to put time constraints on projects for this reason. We pride ourselves in working diligently and making the most use out of our time with you. We charge hourly and work as quickly as you will allow us to.
