​Three reasons to reconsider hiring a professional organizer

Have you considered hiring a professional organizer but for one reason or another you have decided against it? You are not alone!  Many people think that hiring someone to get or keep them organized is foolish and unnecessary.  The reality couldn’t be further from the truth.  

Professional organizers are here to help you get your home in order, in a way that works best for your lifestyle. Many people outsource their house cleaning and lawn maintenance so why are people so reluctant to hire an organizer?
 
I will do it myself!
This is the most common reason people are reluctant to hire a professional organizer.  Yes, you can just do it yourself, but…will you?  How long have you been talking about organizing your basement, attic, garage, or closets?  How many times have you started the project then stopped because you got overwhelmed or frustrated?

A professional organizer can help you through the organization process.  The first thing I do when I connect with you is to talk to you about what you want.  I listen to you and together, we make an action plan.  I guide you through the process from start to finish, help you decide what stays and what goes, and provide you with support and guidance for maintaining organization.

With a professional by your side, your organizing project will get finished in a timely manner leaving your space feeling rejuvenated and refreshed!
 
They’ll make me get rid of everything!
Professional organizers are not heartless people who believe that purging is the only way to get you back on track.  Part of my job is to listen to you and offer support and guidance. This will help you make the best decisions based on how you live, and want to live, your life.  The final decision on whether to keep, donate, or toss items is always up to you. 

When you make the choice to donate, I offer suggestions on the best options for donating useable goods to local organizations who need what you no longer want.  When something cannot be reused, I help you to use environmentally conscious practices for recycling and disposal.    
 
I’m going to have to spend so much money!
Hiring a professional organizer is an investment - an investment in your home, your quality of life, and your time.  Hiring an organizer provides you with a valuable service that improves your quality of life.  When you become organized, you’ll find that you are less stressed and have more time in your day because you have an easier time locating the items you need, when you need them.
​
Once we begin the organization process, and we use what you already have to organize your belongings, you’ll discover that you have more closet, cabinet, and shelf space than you knew!  If you should need to purchase items such as bins or containers, I will make recommendations based on what will work best for you and your space.
