Neat Chic Organizing

What is a professional organizer?  A professional organizer helps individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper. No matter if it's a garage, closet, business paper or computer files, memorabilia, or any other area where a person might feel overwhelmed, we can help. We educate clients on organizing solutions and the benefits of being and staying organized. We will work along side you to make sure you don't get frustrated, confused, or overwhelmed. We do the work and we get our hands dirty.

Why all the talk about green solutions?
Clutter and trash is often a result of our consumer driven society. We buy too much and waste a lot. Why not get organized and reduce your carbon footprint, re-purpose the stuff you already have, and learn ways to use less and gain more sanity? At Neat Chic Organizing we use green strategies because,  let's face it---it matters.

What we are not. We are not a home cleaning crew, a magic make over show, therapists, or counselors.

What are the top reasons to hire a professional organizer? Based on a survey from the National Professional Organizers, the top reasons professional organizers are hired are: too much clutter, general disorganization, difficulty determining what to keep and/or discard, difficulty finding things, selling a home or moving. Other reasons include: never learned organizing skills, a change in lifestyle such as marriage or divorce. There are lots of reasons.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional organizer? Professional organizers provide an invaluable service to time-crunched families and business owners. A professional organizer can provide ideas, information, structure, systems and solutions that can increase your productivity, create more space, save you time, reduce stress, and allow you more control over your life.

How long does it take to get organized?Organization is a process, not a state achieved in one day. Think about it as “being organized” or “staying organized. Neat Chic Organizing can help you set up a system to clear the clutter, and after that, the challenge is to continuously maintain it and work on it one day at a time. The good news is, once you learn good systems, habits, and tools, change becomes easier, as does bouncing back from an unexpected detour or period of feeling overwhelmed.

Are you going to make me throw everything away? It's certainly a good idea to reduce items in a home when clutter is out of control, but it's not always the only solution. I'll work with you to  find strategies that work for you.

Should I clean/organize before you come over?I'm embarrassed. No. It's best to leave your space the way it normally is so we can get a true assessment of what's going on and determine how we move forward. Don't be embarrassed. We are not going to judge you. We see a wide range of situations. Plus, it's our job to see disorganization. The best way to prepare for a visit is to start thinking about what you like/dislike about your space and then write those thoughts down so we can discuss them when we arrive.

What does it cost to hire a professional organizer? It depends. Each situation is different and requires time.  Neat Chic Organizing has several packages that can be tailored to meet your specific needs.  Check out our Packages & Rates page for details.
