Introduction: Let's Get Organized! Organizing is second nature for me - show me an overstuffed junk drawer or overflowing bedroom closet and my brain begins to work, finding a place for everything. It's like a game of Tetris or solving a puzzle. Hard, yes, but I truly enjoy it. Imagine that! My father was an archeologist and collector, so I understand the importance of the items we hold dear, but also understand when an item may need to be re-homed. I'll make sure that we sort through all the items with you to make sure they got donated, recycled, thrown away or stored. Some of my projects include: Downsizing and preparing for sale a packed-to-the-gills 4-bedroom house (with finished basement and attic) in Newton, MA after 35 years of occupancy. Downsizing and preparing for sale a 3-bedroom house in Boynton Beach, FL after 30 years of occupancy. Preparing a 3-bedroom house in Oakland, CA for a full-house move and sale after 37 years of occupancy. Preparing a newly inherited 3-bedroom home into a short-term rental in Berkeley, CA after 50 years of occupancy. Reorganizing an industrial bakery and cafe storeroom in San Francisco, CA. Reorganizing and setting up storage systems in a bedroom closet and kitchen pantry for a client in Berkeley, CA.

Rina is not only a stellar organizational whiz but a st possess not only excellent organizational skills but also emotional intelligence, and Rina has it all. She helped me organize & tellar human being to boot. To be an organizing consultant one musdeclutter the family home after my mother died, and she was truly a godsend. When I needed to cry, she held space for that. When I needed to obsess over some chotchke that I was feeling very attached to, she met me with the utmost patience. And when it was clear that something had to go, she told me so firmly and gently. What's more, she came up with organizing ideas that I would've never thought of. Having Rina shepherding me through that arduous process was the best grief therapy ever, because it both helped me say goodbye to my mom AND got the house clean. Highest of recommendations for the wonderful Rina Neiman!

If you have an organizing job to be done, just hire Rina. You will be happy. You will make plans to have her do further projects to make your life smoother. You will not even think about the cost. Her system of dividing things into "keep, donate, recycle and store" piles makes the task far less intimidating. She is tireless, while also being very good company - qualities I find invaluable and rare. She is right there with you when you hit one of the many moments of indecision and although she doesn’t push too hard, somehow she manages to keep you and the project moving forward. I sold my house which I had lived in for 37 years and due to my work schedule, we needed to sort through everything, get it ready for the movers and have the house in presentable shape in about 10 days. Rina helped to organize everything so not only did we accomplish this, but when things arrived at my new place, they were all ready to be easily unpacked and put in place. Genius! Rina is willing to go the extra mile - she’ll bring in a friend who is an expert appraiser if that is needed, she’ll take those boxes to the shredder or to Goodwill - and just when you are flagging and wondering why you thought your project was a good idea or even possible, it’s done.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rates: Initial Consultation (in-person or online) 30 minutes Free Contact me regarding larger projects for a discounted rate Contact me regarding projects outside the San Francisco Bay Area
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
How It Works: 1. A free 30 minute initial consultation: Set the goals of the project (reorganization of a space; downsizing; moving). Identify the Scope of the project (timeline; expectations). Initial estimate for your project. 2. I will remove the items out of the area to be reorganized: All items will be put into 4 areas to be sorted (KEEP, DONATE, RECYCLE, STORE). 3. Sort through piles together: This process can move as fast as is comfortable for you, it can be unexpectedly emotional. 4. Return KEEP items to the area or pack them in well-marked boxes. I can recommend storage systems options, but I do not install. I can recommend an appraiser to examine more valuable items.
