Absolutely not! It is very important that we see your space as it currently exists. The good, the bad, and the ugly. We promise, no judgement!

How long will my project take?

We will provide you with a general guideline, however each project is unique. You may want me there every step of the way or maybe you just need a game plan developed with regular check ins.

Remember that you are always in complete control of the extent to which we declutter and organize.

Question 5

Question 6

I am getting ready to list my home with a realtor. How can you help?

Answer

Decluttering prior to listing a home on the market may significantly increase the purchase price of a home and may decrease the time that your home is on the market.
How is this possible? Through decluttering, home values increase as homes appear well maintained. A decluttered environment provides less distractions to potential buyers as they can easily picture their own belongings in your home. Rooms feel larger and more open, and it is much easier to clean prior to a last minute showing.
