Even if you have a clear idea of which areas need organising, finding the right professional for the job is important. You might wonder what they'll do to your home. Will they get rid of everything? Will they think I’m too messy? It's completely normal to have questions. This blog looks at some key factors to consider when looking for a professional organiser.
Services and Approach
It can be stressful having someone come into your home and organise your things. Knowing what a professional organiser’s services are can help you get a better understanding of what to expect. Finding an organiser who is supportive, non-judgmental, and trustworthy is also important. When having your initial consultation, ask questions such as:
- Do they handle the organisation, or do we work on it together?
- How do you approach decluttering and organising?
- Do you help me discard items I don't need?
- Do you organise over a few sessions or all at once?
Flexibility
Home organisation is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The easiest way to maintain an organised environment is to figure out a system that works best for you and your specific space. A good professional organiser can use their knowledge of various organisational systems and apply the best one to suit you. Be sure to check whether the organiser you hire can customise their approach based on your needs.
Transparency
Before hiring a professional organiser you should clearly understand their pricing. This includes any travel fees or charges for disposing of items. Their website or social media should provide detailed information about their services. Many home organisers also have a portfolio of previous jobs. This makes it easier for clients to make an informed decision when considering which to hire.
Experience, Qualifications and Testimonials
The best professional organisers will have years of experience helping clients organise their homes. Credible professional organisers also will have numerous positive reviews and real testimonials that can be found on their Facebook page and Google Business Profile.
