FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is simple: $25.00 per hour with a four hour minimum. I charge a $25.00 shopping fee for local buys and a $75.00 shopping fee for the Ikea up north. I am well aware of most organizing systems. Some are great, some are stupid and a waste of money. So please don't buy until you have worked with your organizer. I know it is tempting to go out and buy something but first see what you need once all is organized.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an active member of National Association Of Professional Organizers. They send me an educational email every day. I take their education very seriously. Best of all is we all communicate with one another. So in a very synergistic way we all learn how to better serve our clients. I also read a book a week on improving my people and organizational skills. If I can't be the best I still want to bring my client the best.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been an organize freak since I was about 5. I cleaned my way through every job I have ever had. I shined because I did the job at hand and had the best looking area around. I once had a boss tell me I made the 50 year old print press look brand new. I thoroughly enjoy what I do. I could do it 24/7. So when a job of 24 years layed me off I took it as a sign and opened my own business. Have not looked back. The clients are such a rewarding part of my business. When they are back in control, I know I was a part of that.
