What can I expect when I hire Organized by Terri?
You can expect appointments to fit your needs when you
work with us. We will walk through the home with you for
the consultation and if you agree to start organizing, we will
schedule our first four-hour session at that time. We will
determine together what your priorities are for the
project and what your goals are.
How does the process work once you come into
my home or office?
I will bring the necessary supplies to start sorting the items
that need to be organized. The client normally is included in
this process but is not required.
Since I’ve tried on my own to get organized, I’ve
purchase some organizing bins and products.
What should I do with them if I hire you?
As a Green organizer, during the process, we will sort your
stuff and assess what we are keeping. We will treat your
items as the first ‘store to shop’ from; and then see if your
items will fit into the project. Those items that don’t work,
if newly purchased can be returned or used in possibly
another area to be organized. If you like we can do the
shopping for you, or give you a list to do the shopping
yourself. Usually our clients don't know what to shop for
and we charge our hourly rate for shopping.
Those products are given no additional upcharge.
