What is a professional organizer?

A professional organizer and productivity consultant is a coach and collaborator in designing systems and processes and transferring those organizational principles onto their clients.

Why would I hire a NAPO Organizer vs a non-NAPO organizer?

The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) has been recognized as the organizational and productivity authority for 20 years. NAPO offers organizers the opportunity to enhance and advance their skills through ongoing education and professional development. A professional organizer who is a NAPO member has made a commitment to his/her business and thus to you, the client.

What is your confidentiality policy?

We are aware of the high level of trust placed in organizers by their clients. We will never do or say anything to breach that trust. Integrity and confidentiality are guiding principles of NAPO that are taken very seriously.

How long will it take to get me organized?

There is no set answer as each organizing or productivity project is different. The length of the project will be dependent on what you want to address - a small area for a quick fix, a specific project or a situation that requires long term changes.

How do you work with clients?

Each project begins with approximently 1/2 hour phone conversation that helps us assess the best way we can work together. We discuss a work arrangement that fits your needs, budget and schedule. If we mutually decide to go ahead with an engagement, the parties would enter into a contract during an one hour on-site visit during which time we will determine the tools and supplies we will need before we start.

How do you handle organizing projects?

We tailor our services to accommodate your style. We take a hands-on approach working side by side in order to complete the project and then create a system for you to maintain it going forward. Our non-judgmental approach will make you feel comfortable throughout the process.

How much does it cost and how do you charge for organizing services?

We will discuss fees in our initial phone consultation. On site and shopping fees are based on hourly rates. The total cost of each project varies based on the scope of the services, as well as, materials purchased, any agreed to out of pocket expenses and travel beyond a 30 mile radius.
