Hired on Thumbtack

Jocelyn and her team are hands down amazing. I was determined to bring in the new year with a decluttered house, and they made it happen… clearing my space that had been sitting for months. They even helped stage where my artwork and pictures should go. I have hired her multiple times and will keep her on speed dial.

Jocelyn and her assistant came in and whipped my closet into shape in no time at all. They did a terrific job and were so pleasant to work with. I hope to maintain the storage system Jocelyn created … it is so neat and attractive. I plan to use Jocelyn’s talents again in the near future as I clean out closets and better organize my home. She really knows what she’s doing!! Thank you, Jocelyn!

In summary, Jocelyn is a pro. I worked with Moving Forward to organize and pack up for a move. I notified her that I wanted the organization to be suitable for frequent moves, and as such, requested a practical, lightweight, and portable solution. In the actual sessions, I provided no concrete direction, only a couple of preferences. Each time, she took my preferences and improvised with the storage cases I already had, and created a system that would keep me organized long term. To say that I am impressed with her is an understatement. Her craft of organizing is intuitive and creative that I found no point in instructing her on how things should be organized. She took my goal and delivered on an organized solution that I could have not come up with myself. I am so grateful to have worked with her organization.

I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have Jocelyn! We were moving from our apartment to our new place .She helped us declutter and looked for places we can donate the stuff we didn’t use nor needed.I had a hard time letting go but Jocelyn was patience and help me through the process. She also help me organize and pack my boxes so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed when I got to my new place. She made our moving process stress-free. She was responsive to all the questions I had. She took her time to really understand exactly what I wanted and her price are reasonable. My place looks so clean and organized! Thank you for all your help!

Jocelyn came to our residence and provided a free estimate to reorganize and declutter our kitchen and living room. She explained the process of how she was going do it, recommended items to purchase, and allowed me to ask endless questions during this time. She never pressured me to purchase anything but explained the pros and cons of each recommended item. I purchased them myself so I know she received no financial gains from her recommendations, but worked around me, my budget, and personal style. The Moving Forward team came in to implement the job. We worked side by side, which is what I wanted and she welcomed me to do so. She taught me how to purge and organize along the way. I found items I had been looking for for months! And purged a huge amount. Not only does looking at my new living room and kitchen provide releif, but I now know where eveything is! I was able to use the skills she taught me to purge and organize my bathroom as well!
