Introduction: Hello!! It would be my pleasure to help you achieve your goals!! Here’s my rates & important info to see if your needs meet my expertise.
In-Person Organize/Pack/Unpack: Minimum Rate: $240/4HR. Virtual Organizing: Flat Rate $200 (Four 1hr sessions)
ORGANIZING INVESTMENT
It typically takes 4 to 8hrs to declutter & organize a room. Home offices, garages, or any area that has years’ worth of accumulation will take more. The stress that will be eliminated & serenity gained; time & money saved by knowing where everything is & what you have is priceless!!
WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN IN-PERSON ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME
1) We’ll start the session with a quick Q&A to learn a little bit about you, your goals, & organizing style so I can tailor a system unique to you that you’ll be able to maintain with ease.
2) The decluttering process (toss or donate) so I can organize for your space with your kept belongings & repurpose any organizing storage. I strongly recommend a joint effort to acquaint you with skills helpful for staying organized & eliminating the overabundance trap; however, should you prefer to give me full autonomy of what to keep, toss, or donate, I’m happy to work that way, as well.
3) The magic happens as I batch, categorize, label & problem solve to create designated homes for kept belongings that are breathable & easily accessible.
4) Post session, if the room is done being decluttered & organized, & additional organizing storage options are needed to maximize or streamline your space, I will follow-up with emailed product recommendations. Once you’ve acquired your purchases you can do any of the following: A) Hire me back for another 4hr in-person session to optimize it all for you B) Hire me for an hourly rate (body doubling) virtual coaching session C) Complete the finishing touches on your own.
***Please only select me if you’re ready to hire me, as I pay a fee for each inquiry & instant booking***
WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN VIRTUAL ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME
The process is similar to in-person. The main difference is virtual organizing is similar to life coaching: professional advice, guidance, & accountability to accomplish goals. You have to be able to follow directions, & do all the physical aspects the job requires, finish tasks & homework assignments on your own in between sessions. The benefit is, clients who choose virtual organizing have the highest success rate of maintaining their organizing systems. The guidance & hands-on approach teaches you everything you need to know to accomplish goals & provide long-lasting change. In-person organizing is ideal for those needing help with the physical aspects, discipline, hand-holding, or prefer someone to do all the organizing for them.
VIRTUAL ORGANIZING MUST HAVES
A) You need one of the following devices: Smart phone, laptop, tablet, or iPad for Zoom video chat (I’ll provide the link) so you can show me the areas needing decluttering/organizing & move around the space as needed. B) Good internet. C) Ability to pay by Zelle (eTransfer) at the beginning of a scheduled session.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A PACKING SESSION WITH ME
Prior to session I’ll email you a moving prep: packing supplies & recommendations resource list to look over to guide your decision-making process of what to buy, how much, etc. On the day: Pack & label your belongings with care & upon request, help you figure out what to keep, donate or toss.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A UNPACKING SESSION WITH ME
It’s most productive to get you functional (unpack boxes into designated rooms) to access your possessions sooner than later. I recommend any fine-tuning (micro-organizing: sorting, batching, color coordinating, folding to maximize space, etc) post functional. If you prefer functional + fine-tuning simultaneously, I’m happy to do so, it will just take more time.
PACK/UNPACK INVESTMENT VARIABLES
Unfortunately, I’m not able to give you a definite estimate of how long it will take to pack or unpack because the amount of belongings you may have may differ from someone else with the same amount of space. In addition, if I'm the only one packing or unpacking, or you need help with what to keep, toss, donate, lining shelves & drawers, this will take more time. In general, packing & unpacking kitchens are the most tedious & take the longest. Dishware packing kits are highly recommended if you're trying to save time. Bedrooms with a lot of wardrobe & belongings & garages would be runner up. That said, I recently started keeping track to give clients an idea of the many variables that go into how long it may take.
