pack and bring helpers as needed.
Decluttering
& Organizing of Home Spaces:
(Rooms &
storage areas) Decluttering years of emotionally charged possessions
can be draining and hard to face. Suddenly we are faced with the
guilt of letting go of things: gifts we don't want but were given
to us, items owned by a family member no longer with us, things
we paid good money for but need to let go because they have outlived
their use, objects we'd like others to use and not just toss to
landfill. I Work with home owners and small business owners to
methodically identify, clean and remove clutter and 'out of use'
possessions from their lives so they may enjoy clear spaces once
more, downsize with ease or sell their home faster. I will remove
these items myself to trash or donate to local charities, arrange
pickup of trash by a disposal contractor or larger items such
as furniture by persons in need at minimal cost. This may involve
photographing items and postings to charities etc. so reasonable
time must be allowed.
Regular
free backup advice offered via email to help client maintain as
a permanent service. I can call in backup such as other organizers
and hands as needed but prefer to keep costs to a minimum. I am
acutely aware of the need to keep costs low.
