What is it Like Working With a Professional Organizer?

Being a professional organizer is like being a life coach, therapist, and friend all wrapped up in one--we spend our days listening, assisting, and talking our customers through the process of getting their spaces and their lives organized. But it is so much more than that, which is why we are going to chat today about what it is really like to work with a professional organizer and how you can benefit from it.

Before we dive too deep into our process, I want you to keep in mind three very important things that make working with an organizer a no-brainer:

  1. No judgment zone. We have literally dealt with all types of situations--nothing phases us. Whether you are a bit cluttered or drowning in it, we will help you sort it out--judgment-free.

  2. Creative solutions. Just like we have dealt with all types of situations, we have dealt with all types of spaces. This means we can come up with a creative solution no matter what situation is thrown at us.

  3. Helping hands & listening ears. We want to find out how you like to live in your home and then design your personalized organizing system around those preferences. We come with listening ears and helping hands to every single project. 

The Process of Working With Your Dallas Professional Organizer

At Organized Calm, we believe in transparency. All of our clients deserve the same respect and the same attention to detail, so we’ve created a process that works for each project. Detailed here, is what it is really like to work with an organizer and what you can expect when you hire us for your home organizing projects. 

Step 1: Sort

At the beginning of every project we do, we assist you in pulling all of your items out. This helps us see exactly what you have and allows us to sort through them together. We create categories of items so that we have the perfect gateway to the next step of the process.

Step 2: Edit

This is where your decision-making comes in, but don’t worry, we do all the heavy lifting. Together, we will decide which items are kept, which are donated, and which are headed straight for the trash. This is the emotional part of the process (remember when we said we are kind of like your therapist?). But as we go space by space, and room by room the editing process becomes easier.

Step 3: Organize

Organizing is a skill that uses a combination of function and form to create a system that is easy for you to maintain. When we get to this phase, we will help you find the best location for all of your items and put everything back in a way that is both easy to access and easy on the eyes. 

During this phase, we also make expert product recommendations and do all of the shopping for you. Products we routinely use in our organization methods are a combination of bins, baskets, containers, and labels. We also creatively reuse items that clients already have to maintain client budgets if needed.

What You May Not Know About Working With an Organizer

Our Dallas home organizing team creates maximum impact by minimizing your things and streamlining your home so you can enjoy life. Sometimes, people think of home organizers and they think they are going to be told to get rid of all the things. Let us let you in on a little secret:

We won’t make you get rid of everything. We are here to help you create function in your life, not create a new lifestyle as a minimalist. We want you to keep only the things you love, need, and use. Our guidance through this process can be hard and a tad stressful for clients, but we are your friend and confidant throughout the entire organizing project. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible for you. It is just one of the many benefits of hiring Organized Calm.

You can be as hands-off or on as you want. Every client is a little different in how involved in the project they want to be. We have had clients go all-in with us while others go about their daily lives and wait for the surprise finish. While the editing stage is the key stage where we will need your help, we can take the reins on the rest and leave you with a beautifully organized space. 

We Love What We Do! 

Clients who work with Organized Calm know how much we love what we do! Our team is full of caring, trustworthy, and reliable people who work hard to give you the best experience. We want to make the entire process as effortless as possible so that you can minimize the stress in your life and learn to love the home you have created. 

Working with clients is rewarding and helping them get their life organized is a fulfilling experience each and every time. Working with a professional organizer can be a fun and exciting opportunity and leave you with the organized home you have always dreamed of.
