What is your process?
We like to contact clients by phone initially and talk to them about what area they are concerned with and what their goals for the project are. Next, we offer a 30-45 minute virtual consultation to see the space for planning purposes. Together, we will then decide on the package that aligns best with the client’s needs and book the sessions.
How involved will I be in the process?
Each space is different and most of the time, we need some of your input to know which items we keep vs. donate. We will never remove an item from your home unless we are instructed to do so, and we will never pressure you to get rid of anything. We will, however, restate our project goals , and if getting rid of excess was a goal, we will do our best to help you achieve that. With most clients, we remove all the items from a particular space, throw away trash, sort like items, and at that point, they can work alongside us in purging as we sort or we leave “homework” for the client to determine which items stay or go before our next session. The level of participation is at the discretion of each individual client.
Why hire a professional organizer? Can’t I do it on my own?
Most of our clients come to us after a long battle of trying to organize their space and being unsuccessful in doing so. Time, energy, focus..there are so many obstacles that stand in the way of starting and finishing a project. Hiring a professional organizer gives you encouragement to visualize a space in a different way, implement the customized systems that are established, and keeps your spirits uplifted while moving through the project in a timely fashion. Another added benefit is the one on one coaching on how to maintain your organized space long after our project is complete!
Why hire a NAPO organizer?
The National Association of Productivity and Organizing keeps professional organizers up to date with ongoing training and education. They also have a code of ethics by which members are expected to abide.
In addition to investing in ongoing education, LESS holds itself to the highest level of respect for your home, your privacy, and your confidentiality.
What type of client do you usually work with?
Everyone is different but if we could use one word to describe many clients when they contact us initially, it would be OVERWHELMED. Let’s face it, life gets in the way of our best-intended plans. We have ALL been there.
Sickness, work schedules, traveling…the reasons are endless. And when we finally do have the time to get things in order, we are so overwhelmed we don’t even know where to start. OR, we start and never quite get around to finishing it.
We work with busy families, newlywed couples getting settled into their homes, professionals who travel a lot, retirees downsizing to a smaller home, artists, couples having a new baby, business owners…...the list goes on and on. Everyone is unique, so the plan we execute for each client is tailored completely to each individual clients’ goals.
What rooms do you organize?
Spaces we work in include, but are not limited to:
Kitchens
Pantries
Closets
Garages
Bedrooms
Laundry rooms
Mudrooms
Playrooms
Dining rooms
Craft/sewing rooms
New baby set ups
What if I am too embarrassed to show an organizer my space for fear of being judged?
Our team will never (and we mean never!) make you feel ashamed or embarrassed about your space. You should feel empowered that you made the decision to solve a problem that will ultimately have so many positive effects on other areas of your life!
