FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
You get what you pay for. I have been in business since 2002 and feel its important to consider a professional's experience when it comes to pricing. And I believe I'm worth every penny! You should not choose a professional to help you based solely on price. Speak directly to the organizer before making a decision. You can tell a lot about a person just through a phone conversation. Get references and speak to former clients. Meet for one session and see how it goes! If we don't "click" we don’t have to meet again and I can even refer you to someone else. If I know I cannot help you, or your needs are outside of my scope or experience, I will tell you. Make an educated decision. If it's a big job, or you want multiple hours or maintenance, I do offer discounted pre-paid packages. My hours never expire!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a phone consultation before the first appointment. I generally do a walk-through the same day as the first appointment - if I'm going to be at your home and you are taking your time to meet, I like to get something done that day so you can see tangible results. We will chat about what's working and what's not, and I help identify the best place to start - and it may not be where you thought it would be!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been organizing all of my life! Prior work experiences included the need for organizational skills - I directed summer programs for college students internationally and did fundraising work. Since becoming a professional organizer, I attended local and national conferences, belonged to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), attended NAPO-DC meetings, and have read many books and blogs on organizing, etc.
