FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am up front with my rates unlike some organizers who insist they need to come see your house before giving you a quote. I also do not make you sign a contract as some do. My rates are straight forward and by the hour. My regular rate is $60 an hour. However, I do offer a $5.00 hour discount for cash payments bringing my rate to only $55 hour. All other forms of payment are at my regular rate to include Credit Cards, Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Checks.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free phone consult to discuss what you are looking to accomplish with your home/space. Then we schedule your declutter and organizing session. For packing jobs I can help advise you what items to purchase before I arrive. If you need me to stop at Home Depot to pick up boxes, etc prior to my arrival, you only need place the order online and give authorization for me to pick up your supplies. I will text you upon arrival at the store and you just need to add in the pick up space number in the app. With packing sessions to ready you for a move I can assist you with decluttering if needed, then organize your belongings during the unpack after your move if your move is within San Diego county. I will text you the evening before our session to confirm. Upon arrival we will go over your needs and plans for your space to gain clarity on your desires and expectations. Then we will pick and area and begin. I do suggest you purchase any shelving or storage items ahead of our session if you would like to implement them. (See photo suggestions for useful ideas above). It is not necessary for you to purchase anything. However, some clients find having organizing storage bins help define their new vision and help them maintain a place for everything. Sometimes we can make do with what you already have and may be able to re-purpose items. My goal is for my clients to see this whole process as a fun joint endeavor that you look forward to. As you see the progress you will feel lighter and more joyful about your space.
