FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge by the hour for my services. Each organizing session is subject to a 4-hour minimum, but I often work longer if the client wants to continue working on a longer project. My hourly rate is $60 and I charge a fee of $100 for cancellations 48 hours or less prior to the scheduled appointment.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always offer a free consultation so that the potential client can meet me in person, ask questions, and get a feel for whether they think I'm the right organizer for them. The consultation lasts about 20 minutes or so. This gives us enough time to walk through the house and look at the areas of concern so that I can provide a rough estimate. We may also discuss ideas for possible solutions and organizing supplies that might be helpful.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in business as an organizer since 2001. I currently hold the designation of Certified Professional Organizer. This title is earned and maintained through ongoing education and is awarded to organizers who have completed a specific number of organizing hours with clients, and who have passed an exam. In addition, I am a member of the National Association of Professional organizers (NAPO) and a member of the Dallas / Fort Worth chapter of NAPO, as well as past servoice on the chapter board. I'm also a member of ICD, the Institute for Challenging Disorganization.
