- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
At Nice & Neat with Niecy, our process for working with a new customer is rooted in understanding and empathy, designed to make professional organizing both approachable and transformative. Here’s how we begin our journey together: Discovery Call: Our relationship begins with a discovery call, which is a chance for us to discuss your specific needs, challenges, and goals over the phone. This initial conversation is crucial for me to hear your story—what’s been working for you and what hasn’t—so I can tailor our approach to fit your lifestyle perfectly. Consultation: Following the discovery call, we schedule an in-depth consultation, either in-person or virtually, depending on your preference. During this time, I assess the space physically or through pictures you provide. This allows me to visualize the project and plan effectively, ensuring we address all areas of concern and identify the best strategies for decluttering and organizing. Customized Plan: Based on our discussions and my assessment, I develop a detailed plan that outlines the steps we’ll take together. This plan includes organizing solutions that respect your budget and aesthetic preferences, while aiming to create a functional, serene environment. Implementation: With your approval, we roll up our sleeves and begin the physical work of organizing. This stage can vary in duration depending on the scale of your project. I ensure that the process is as seamless and non-intrusive as possible, working efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life. Follow-Up: After the project, I provide tips and strategies to maintain the new order. We also schedule follow-up sessions to adjust any systems as needed, ensuring that your space continues to meet your needs over time. Throughout this process, my goal is to be not just an organizer, but a supportive partner in creating a space that truly feels like a sanctuary. At Nice & Neat with Niecy, we’re here to help you reclaim not just your space, but also your peace and joy.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was inspired to start Nice & Neat with Niecy out of a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in my community. Initially, I ventured into the home cleaning industry, but it quickly became clear that organizing and cleaning were distinct yet complementary services. During my cleaning consultations, I frequently encountered homes overwhelmed by clutter and hoarding, which revealed a deeper, underlying issue tied to personal trauma and emotional burdens. These challenges required more than just cleaning, they needed a compassionate, systematic approach to decluttering and organizing. The turning point came when I learned that one of my cleaning clients had lost their home due to hoarding. This heartbreaking revelation motivated me to shift my focus entirely to organizing. I saw a profound opportunity to not only organize spaces but also to restore peace and functionality to homes affected by clutter. By understanding the emotional roots of clutter and treating each project with care and respect, as if it were for my own family, I found my true calling in helping others reclaim their spaces and, by extension, their lives. This passion for creating harmonious environments is what drives every project at Nice & Neat with Niecy.
