Frequently Asked Questions

A professional organizer is someone skilled in decluttering & organizing physical spaces in your home and life. They assist you with making decisions on what to do with personal belongings where to donate items you no longer want or need. They are problem-solvers that help you to resolve issues (large or small) regarding problem areas in your home. They are your accountability coach, they do check-ins with you to ensure things are working or help you identify areas that aren’t working and how to fix it. They will set up organizing systems in your home based on your daily routines so that you can easily maintain an orderly house with less stress. Basically, they are your new best friend (for life)!

Many people try to organize their space on their own, but quickly become overwhelmed and defeated. A professional organizer will help you decide where to start, stay motivated, focused, and provide fresh ideas and organizing solutions for your space. With the help of a professional organizer, your project can be completed more quickly, and you can get back to focusing on the important things in life that bring you happiness.
It’s easy to get stuck and overwhelmed in a cluttered, disorganized home. A fresh perspective – and some professional know-how – helps you get the chaos under control! Decluttering and organizing your home will have positive effects on your life, like less stress, better health, and more energy to spend on what you love. When you create space in your physical area, you’re able to concentrate better, think more clearly, and make decisions more easily. Plus, we make the process fun!

Once you make the decision to get your space back in order, we will start with a complementary, no-obligation phone call. We will discuss your organizing needs and goals and answer any questions you may have about working with a professional organizer. Next, we will schedule an in-home consultation where we will tour your space and I will ask questions about your current systems, what's working and what isn't and start to create a plan for the space. At this time, we will discuss the organizing package options offered by Clutterless Concepts and recommend one that fits your needs, time and budget. We can then schedule your first organizing session or jump right in and get started.

No, it's your stuff and you have complete control over what items you keep and what items you get rid of. However, we will guide you in making honest decisions about the items in your home and may suggest donating, selling, recycling or throwing away things you no longer need, use or love.
-
No two projects are exactly the same and the amount of time it will take to finish depends on the size of the space, the amount of stuff you have and your ability to make decisions about the items in your home. The process may be sped up by you completing any homework assigned to you on your own between sessions but that is completely up to you.
-
No, it's best for us to be able to see your home in its natural state. That way it will be easier for us to see your specific organizing challenges and be able to suggest ways to get your space back in order. There is no need to worry about the state or cleanliness of your home, we will never judge, we’re only here to help.
