Hiring a Professional Organizer

annie'sHave you considered hiring a professional organizer but for one reason or another decided against it? You are not alone! Many people think that hiring someone to get or keep them organized is foolish and unnecessary. The reality is, this couldn’t be further from the truth!  Professional Organizers are here to help you get your home in order, in a way that works best for your lifestyle.

Just as many people outsource their house cleaning and lawn maintenance. Hiring an organizer can save you time, aggravation, and money. So…why are people so reluctant to hire an organizer?

I CAN DO THIS MYSELF!
This is perhaps the most common reason people are reluctant to hire a professional organizer. Yes, you can do it yourself, but…will you? How long have you been talking about organizing your basement, attic, garage, or closets? How many times have you started the project then stopped because you got overwhelmed or frustrated?

A professional organizer can help you through the organization process. The first thing I do when I connect with a new client is listen to what they want. Together, we make an action plan. I guide clients through the process from start to finish, help them decide what stays and what goes, and provide support and guidance for maintaining organization.

With a professional by your side, your organizing project will get finished in a timely manner leaving your space feeling rejuvenated and refreshed!

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING!
No, you won’t. Professional organizers are not heartless people who feel as though purging is the only way to get you back on track. Our job is to listen to you, to offer support and guidance, and to help you make the best decisions based on how you live, and how you want to live your life. The final decision on whether to keep, donate, or toss items is always up to you, and you will never have to lose anything you care deeply about.

When you make the choice to donate, professional organizers can offer suggestions on the best options for donating useable goods to local organizations who need what you no longer want. When something cannot be reused, a professional can help you to use environmentally conscious practices for recycling and disposal.

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY!
Hiring a professional organizer is an investment – an investment in your home, your quality of life, and your time. Hiring an organizer provides you with a valuable service that improves your quality of life. When you become organized, you’ll find that you are less stressed and have more time in your day because it’s easier locating the items you need, when you need them.

Once you begin the organization process, and you use what you already have to organize your belongings, you’ll discover that you have more closet, cabinet, and shelf space than you knew!  If you should need to purchase items such as bins or containers, a professional organizer can make recommendations based on what will work best for you and your space.

So, why not make the call today and hire a professional organizer?

  1. My house has been an absolute mess since I moved in a few years ago and I am thinking about hiring a professional organizer. You make a great point that a professional won’t make me get rid of everything. Instead, they will help me to get rid of what I don’t want and need and they will help me find quality organizations to give away my extra items to.
