Frequently Asked Questions

As a professional organizer, I guide you through the process of reducing clutter, creating calm, and boosting productivity in your home. My specialty lies in helping you uncover the root causes behind disorganization and designing systems to resolve those challenges, creating lasting change.

I bring genuine passion and enthusiasm to my work, which makes for a positive and upbeat experience. I love getting to know my clients personally and working together to find the best solutions for their unique spaces. By observing how you interact with your home, I can offer tailored solutions that meet your needs. Decision-making and follow-through can be tough, but I provide accountability to ensure your organizing journey is a success.

The best way to start is by scheduling a 20-minute phone call, where we can discuss your needs and determine if we’re a good fit. If we decide to move forward, I offer a complimentary 60-minute in-home consultation to dive deeper into your goals. During the consultation, I’ll ask questions about how you use your space and provide an estimate based on the scope of the project.

Here’s a breakdown of the Earnest Organizing process:

Phase 1: We’ll start by sorting and purging items that no longer serve you.
(This is the “it gets worse before it gets better” part.)

Phase 2: I’ll help you determine where items should live, create functional zones, and decide if any products (like storage containers) are necessary.

Phase 3: Together, we’ll finalize item placement, label and contain like items, and establish systems to help you maintain your newly organized space.

Not at all! We’ll determine what products, if any, are needed after we’ve completed Phase 1 of the process. I can help repurpose items you already own, or suggest containers and solutions that fit your space and style.

While I do help make your home look fantastic, my focus is on organization, not cleaning. The goal is to create systems that work for you and make your space easier to manage. Cleaning up before I come isn’t necessary; I actually prefer to see your space as it is, so I can understand your everyday challenges.

Your privacy is my top priority. I respect that many of your belongings, including paperwork and personal items, may be sensitive. Our time together will remain confidential. While I do take before-and-after photos to document progress, I will only share them with your explicit permission.

Your involvement is entirely up to you. If you prefer to be hands-on, we can work side by side. Or, if you’d like me to handle most of the project solo, I just ask that you be available at the beginning and end of each session to make decisions about purging.
