Approach

Getting started is simple.

Just call me. Or email me. We’ll chat about how things are now, and how you would like them to be. We’ll set up a time to meet face to face and so I can see and feel your space. Then, I’ll put a plan together to get you where you want to be.

I will meet with all prospective clients before offering advice or working with you.

This is extremely important to me. Working in your space is a very personal endeavor and I want to meet you, and you to meet me before we agree to work together as a team. I will ask for a tour of your space and with your permission, take notes and possibly photographs. There is no charge for this first step in our relationship.

I will provide investment information before I being working with you.

All organizing projects are dependent upon how quickly we work together but after 8 years of working with clients I am pretty good about estimating time. I commit to giving my clients an estimate before beginning any project.

I will keep all information you share with me confidential.

I am passionate about client confidentiality. We may be discussing or working with personal information. Anything we discuss will remain private.

I will provide my credentials to all clients.

I have worked diligently to achieve certifications and credentials that assure you I am a professional. I will share these with you before we begin working together.

I will not “make” you throw anything away.

Based on our discussion about your goals I will offer advice and counsel but it will always be your decision.

I will offer you my best advice about donations, respect your requests and take whatever fits in my car with me.

Some organizers and stagers charge for this service. I do not feel my job is complete unless I do what I can to take this off your plate. I will share ideas with you about donating items to organizations that you support.

I will not offer services that are beyond the scope of my ability.

I will never tell you I can do something that I cannot do. If we need the resources of another professional, whether that is a contractor, a mover or a computer expert I will recommend someone for that portion of the project.

I will always recommend the best product for the need.

I do not sell any products, or make any commissions off of products. Although I am on a first-name basis with the team at The Container Store, I research organizing products through many vendors and I will always offer you my best recommendation for any products you need.
