What will a Professional Organizer do?

• Work with client to organize rooms, closets, drawers, shelves, cabinets, etc

• Pre-sort like-items so they will “have a home” and client knows where to place things in future

• Box and label stored items (i.e., memorabilia); ready for movers

•  Arrange for furniture sale (online, consignment, estate sale, auction)

•  Schedule necessary services (organizer, handyman, landscaper, painter, electrician)

Organize Space

Kitchen, Pantry

• Organize shelves, cabinets (shelf lining available), pantries

• Declutter countertops

• Check food expiration dates

• Spices - Did you know that you may have bugs in your spices (especially the red spices-chili powder, paprika)?  Typically, spices are kept far too long. Tupperware containers are air-tight and will prevent bug infestations.  Recommend the start-up kit for spices and staples (flour, sugar) in Tupperware Modular Mates.

Why hire a Professional Organizer?

• Overwhelming- Organizing an entire home is a huge project!  Get help.

• Family members want to help but are busy.  Hire a Professional to provide assistance

• Physically exhausting work (sorting, purging, moving boxes for charity pickups)

• Focus - a Professional Organizer will keep client on track to reach the target goal since she has no emotional attachment to items i.e., family photos which can slow down progress

• Decluttering before the move reduces moving expense, makes unpacking more efficient, and reduces stress

• Faster results with an Organizer and assistant. Seeing quick results also helps keep client motivated and on track

•  Increased buyer confidence - creates strong first impression (well-cared for home)
