Specialty Areas 

Downsizing/Rightsizing Older Adults

We accumulate belongings throughout our lives at a rapid rate. Our situations change as we get older. We go to college, perhaps get married and raise a family, and don’t even realize how much we have until the kids are gone and it gets increasingly difficult to keep up with the daily operations of living. Moving to a smaller home can ease the burden of so much space to maintain.

Downsizing/rightsizing is the process of eliminating the excess so that the things you keep will fit into a smaller space.  It can also mean letting go of a lot of cherished memories. Let SOS ease your transition by providing ideas to preserve your memories, as we keep your necessary belongings proportionate to your new living spaces during the organizing process.

Team Organizing

SOS provides the option of team organizing. This is where we bring in additional organizers for big projects, or if you just want your project done quickly.  All of the other organizers have their own businesses and carry a minimum of business liability insurance.  They are NAPO (National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals) colleagues of mine that have worked with me on other team organizing jobs, and we all work very well together.

The team lead would work with you, while the other organizers work in the background to avoid the overwhelm of multiple people asking you questions at the same time.

SOS clients are always amazed at how much a team can get done in so little time!

After A Death

Losing a loved one is never easy and the duration of grief is different for everyone. There are so many things that need to be considered, and determining what to do with a lifetime of belongings can be overwhelming.

When you are ready, our caring, compassionate consultants can help with these difficult decisions to make this endeavor less painful so you can begin to heal.

Home Office

Working at home can present many challenges. Whether you have a home based business, work for a company that allows you to work from home, or just have a work space in your home to manage your household, keeping your spaces organized can be frustrating.

Clutter can keep you from thinking clearly which causes stress from working long hours. By de-cluttering your work spaces and creating systems tailored specifically for you, we can help you increase your productivity to reduce your stress and regain your peace of mind.

Pricing 

Needs Assessment Consultation – $160

Organizing is a process. A free 30 minute initial phone consultation to gather preliminary information begins the process.

The initial phone consultation will help me understand your needs and goals. At this time we can schedule an onsite needs assessment consultation. This entails walking through your spaces with you to learn more about your vision and goals, and can take up to 2 hours. Afterwards, we will discuss how you want to proceed with your organizing project in terms of the options discussed during the initial phone consultation; those options are shown below.

DIY Action Plan – $249

After the initial phone consultation to help me understand your needs and goals, we can schedule an onsite needs assessment consultation. As mentioned above, this entails walking through your spaces with you to learn more about your vision and goals. Questions will be asked about the use of the spaces you need organized to gain additional insight.

Afterwards, I will email you a step by step action plan so you can declutter and organize the spaces discussed. The plan also includes recommendations for organizing products, spatial or other adjustments that I may discover during the needs assessment consultation.  The plan may be all you need to complete your project. You are under no obligation to hire SOS for hands on organizing.

This service was created in order to provide a guideline for the client to use if they choose to tackle their organizing project on their own. Some also like this service because they have never worked with a professional organizer, and it provides insight into how your spaces will be organized.

Hands on Organizing – $80/hour 

Home organizing services are scheduled in three hour increments with no more than two sessions per day. However, the sessions can be tailored to the stamina of the client. The client works with the organizer by making decisions on what items to discard, donate or keep. This also allows the organizer to understand more about the clients natural habits and routines to develop systems that are tailored to their established behaviors.

During the session, the client learns the fundamentals of the organizing process, and that enables them to continue without the organizer if they choose, and also to keep their systems maintained.

Freedom Filer® Package – $290

This package includes everything you need to get the Freedom Filer® self-purging filing system set up in your home. You will receive a pre-assembled Freedom Filer® home filing system in a portable filing storage tote with 75 green hanging folders, instructions on how the system works, and a 3 hour organizing session to provide assistance purging existing files, and filing the ‘keepers’ in your new filing system.

Gift Certificates

Need a gift for someone who has everything…literally? The gift of organization may be exactly what they need. Call SOS to discuss the amount of organization you would like to give, but before you make that call, make sure your loved one is on board to receive this most generous gift.
