What is a professional organizer?
A professional organizer enhances the lives of
clients by designing systems and processes using
organizing principles and through transferring
organizing skills. A professional organizer also
educates the public on organizing solutions and
the resulting benefits. Professional
organizers help individuals and businesses take
control of the surroundings, their time, and their systems for life.
Why would I hire a NAPO organizer vs a
non-NAPO organizer?
The National
Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO)
has been recognized as the organizing authority
for 20 years. NAPO offers organizers ongoing education
and professional development, and NAPO has a Code
of Ethics which members are expected to abide.
A professional organizer who is a NAPO member
has made a commitment to his/her business and thus
to you.
What is your confidentiality policy?
We adhere to the code of ethics set by NAPO.
We will respect your privacy and serve with
integrity, courtesy, competence and objectivity.
All client information will be kept confidential.
We will work with professionalism and discretion
because we are aware of the high level of trust
placed in organizers by their clients. We will
never do or say anything to breach that trust.

How much time will this process take?
Each organizing project is different and
depends on what you want to accomplish. The length
of the project will depend primarily on how
quickly you want it done, the size of your home or
office and the amount of clutter and/or
paper that has built up. Do you want to
focus on a small area for a quick fix or do you
want to tackle the whole house on an extended
basis? We will develop a plan to fulfill your
needs.

What is the cost and how do you charge
for organizing services?
We will discuss fees in our initial phone
consultation. The total cost of a project can vary
from client to client. Time spent on a project is
based on individual needs. For scheduling
purposes, we ask for a three-hour minimum and a
24-hour cancellation notice. Sessions canceled
without 24-hour notice are charged at one-half the rate. Fees are payable at the end of each session
with cash or a check. Fees may be prepaid
using your credit card via Paypal by clicking the
Puchase button below. .

How do you work with clients?
Each project begins with a no-obligation phone
conversation that helps us asses the best way
we can work together. We then create a work arrangement
that fits your needs, budget and schedule. We
see some clients every week while we work with
others on a project basis. Our initial
on-site consultation and analysis created with the
client will supply the client with a plan of
action and is to be paid for at the end of this
session

How do you handle organizing projects? We come prepared with the tools and supplies we
need for each project. We will be working side by side with you to assess
the area, identify solutions, clean out and
organize the space and then create a system to
maintain and update it. We always try to work with
organizing products and supplies you have on hand
before bringing in any additional products.

What supplies do I need for the first
session?
We first must figure out what
will be required for the project, how much you will be discarding, and
how you want to organize the rest. Buying the
wrong supplies can just create more clutter. If
supplies are needed, we will discuss this during
the first session.

How do I keep the space organized?
The
project’s success depends not only on the
initial transformation of the space, but also on
your commitment to maintain the systems we create
together. We are always available to return for
periodic maintenance or for consultation if your situation changes.
