How to Know When It's Time & How to Find the Best Professional Organizer for You
Clutter can sneak up on anyone. Whether it's years of accumulated belongings or the aftermath of a major life change, the burden of disorganization can feel overwhelming. It’s not always easy to admit that you need help, but knowing when to hire a professional organizer can change everything. If you’re asking yourself whether or not it's time to seek help, if you should hire a professional organizer, and how to find the best one for you, we’re here to guide you.
You Might Need a Professional Organizer If…
You’re Going Through a Big Life Transition
A life transition—such as having a new baby, moving to a new home, becoming an empty nester, experiencing the loss of a loved one, or starting a new job—can throw your home into chaos. A professional organizer can help you navigate this change by creating systems that fit your new needs and priorities.
You Keep Buying Things You’re Sure You’ve Already Purchased
If you find yourself repeatedly purchasing the same items because you can’t find them in your home, it’s a sign that things are disorganized and difficult to locate. An organizer will help you streamline your space and make it easier to keep track of everything.
You Keep Buying Organizing Products but Never Use Them
It’s tempting to think that new baskets, bins, or shelves will solve the problem. But if you’re not sure how to use them, they can end up being a waste of money and space. A professional organizer will help you create practical systems that make those products work for you.
You Feel Like There’s No Room for Anything New
If every time you get something new, you feel like you’re running out of space, it might be time for a reset. An organizer can help you declutter and maximize your space so it feels more open and organized, giving you room to breathe and grow.
You Don’t Know How to Create Systems
If you’ve tried to organize your space but it never stays that way, or it feels like you’re just moving things from spot to a different spot, you may be missing effective systems. Organizers are experts at creating customized systems that are easy to maintain, helping your space stay tidy long-term.
You Always Feel Like You’re Running Out of Time
When you’re constantly racing against the clock to keep up with chores, kids' schedules, and life’s demands, it’s hard to focus on organization. Hiring an organizer can free up your time, helping you establish systems that make your home more functional and reduce your stress.
You Feel Stressed When You’re Home Because of the Clutter and Unfinished Tasks
If your home feels like a never-ending list of tasks that never seem to get done, or the clutter causes you anxiety, it’s time to ask for help. Professional organizers can help you tackle overwhelming spaces, creating calm and order that will bring peace of mind.
Should I Hire a Professional Organizer
How to Find the Best Professional Organizer for You
When you’re ready to hire a professional organizer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure you find someone who’s a good fit. Here are some questions to ask during your search:
What is your training process?
Ensure your organizer has professional training or experience that aligns with your needs. This gives you confidence that they’ll understand your unique challenges and be able to address them effectively.
Do you do background checks?
Trust is essential when inviting someone into your home. A reputable organizer should have a transparent process for background checks, ensuring you feel safe and secure.
What is your repeat client rate?
A high repeat client rate shows that their services are valuable and clients are happy with the results. Ask about their client satisfaction and how they’ve built long-term relationships.
How many projects do you do a year?
A professional organizer who is regularly working on projects can demonstrate their experience and expertise. More projects usually means more refined skills and a deeper understanding of common organizing challenges.
How fast can you complete my project?
Depending on your needs, the timeline for organizing can vary. Ask how long they expect the project to take so you can plan accordingly. Keep in mind that thorough work may take more time upfront but will lead to lasting results.
Do you upcharge for products?
Clarify if the organizer charges extra for organizing products and supplies. Some organizers may only charge you for their time, while others will add a markup on the products they use.
What makes you different from others in your area?
Every organizer has a unique approach and style. Ask what sets them apart—whether it’s their methodology, customer care, or level of experience. Understanding their values will help you make an informed decision.
