FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $75/hr. with a minimum of 3 hrs., preferably 4 hrs. to accomplish the most before decision fatigue can set in. From time to time I may offer a package rate, e.g. with the purchase of 20 hours receive a 15% discount.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It normally will begin with a 1-hour complimentary consultation at your home to discuss what are your needs and goals. I offer many services including decluttering, sorting, organizing and downsizing, to space planning. I also help with packing, managing your move, and unpack and set up your new home. I can clear and clean out a home/estate and remove items to be donated/recycled and help prep to sell the home. If you are interested in having an estate sale, I can help with that too! I work with exceptional people and local businesses who are experts in their fields including: cleaners, movers, estate sale professionals, realtors and stagers, so whatever additional services you may need, together we provide you/your loved one with a full-service package--from the start to the finish line.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am by profession a Senior Move & Transition Manager. I have completed all the required training courses and am working to become Certified through the National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers (NASMM). I am a member of NASMM and NAPO (National Association of Productivity & Professional Organizers) and serve on the Oregon NAPO Chapter board. I have completed the professional organizer course through the Institute of Professional Organizers. I am always participating in various outlets soaking up more knowledge and share ideas with other Professional Organizers (PO) and Senior Move Managers (SMM) internationally.
