About us

I have been a professional home and office "hands-on" organizer for over 17 years and currently service Santa Clarita as well as some parts of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. I'll help you organize your home and /or office, manage your time better and frequently (if needed) act as life coach helping guide you through the turmoil of life issues. I work strictly by the hour at $65-75 per hour and I offer a $5 per hour discount per hour if you retain me for 10 hours in advance. I work directly with you in short 2-3 hour sessions to minimize the stress of this often overwhelming process. I help organize everything including garages, closets, bedrooms, bathrooms, bookshelves, kitchens and pantries, home offices, paper clutter, desks, filing systems, computer desktops and more. When we work together I'll keep you focused and on task, guiding you through the process of decluttering your spaces gently, calmly and with as little stress as possible. I will never judge you or bully you to get rid of anything that you really consider a treasure and that brings you joy. I am here to be of service and only want to create a calm, stress-free environment for you and your family. Each job is is customized to fit your very specific individual needs. Please visit my website's "What Clients Say" page for more reviews and testimonials.

Bob had a tremendous sense of clarity to bring to my organizing projects. He helped find ways to implement the best solutions that suited my personal style. He can help you handle anything that is out of control in your home or office. In my situation, he completely helped me revamp an out-of-control filing system for my home and my interior design business and improved my time management and billing process. Everything makes sense now! He happens to be delightful to work with, as well. I call on him regularly for organizing projects. Highly recommended.

It went extremely well. I have used Bob repeatedly thru the years and will continue to do so. I would highly recommend his services.
Description of Work: I am a busy therapist in private practice in Beverly Hills and I have no time or desire to keep my office organized. Fortunately for me Bob loves this kind of challenge and is very good at this skill. I found him extremely easy to work with and his ideas were invaluable. He participates when necessary and encourages and directs at other times.He manages to make office organizing almost fun.

Wonderful working with Bob was a pleasure and I still use some of the tools he taught me.
Description of Work: So many different parts of my life needed decluttering and Bob was very patience and very professional in his attention to detail and suggestions for how to go about the job at hand. From the garage to the roof top, the paper work, the linen closet the tool box, the memories of a life time all sorted boxed and labeled.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Bob Farkas, The Clutter Wizard. He is excellent at what he does. He is honest, trustworthy and always offers great suggestions. He organized my clutter, paid the bills and kept me focused on the tasks that needed to be done. He actually saved me money by finding ways to do things for less. He also got my mom organized room by room, from the garage to her home office to her bedroom and even the bathrooms. He always goes the extra mile! He actually found proof that one of my mom's caregiver's had stolen my mom's identity, opening credit cards in my mom's name and even had my mom co-sign for a car!!! He also brought to my attention that another one of her caregivers was spending hours on my mom's house phone weekly calling family in another country on my mom's dollars! Besides his exceptional organizing skills, his gentle manner and excellent listening skills have helped me in other areas of my life. Bob helped coach me through the stress of caring for an elderly parent, deal with my mom?s identity theft problems and help me deal with some family relationship issues. Over the many years, I have come to rely on his skills and expertise. He has not only helped me and my mom but has also been very helpful to my brother with various organizing tasks and life issues. He really is a lifesaver!!" Bob is fabulous. He is exceptionally capable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend him."
Description of Work: Pay bills, organized my mess- set up file folders and got my mom, brother and myself completely organized and up to date with all our paper work. He was my life coach during a very difficult and stressful time.

The project is proceeding exceedingly well and I am completely satisfied with Bob Farkas, The Clutter Wizard. Bob is always on time, professional, innovative in his thinking, non judgemental and very gently keeps me focused on the project at hand. Bob works one on one which is an approach I appreciate. I did not want multiple people working in my home at the same time....that is too distracting and not efficient. Bob is filled with compassion and kindness and has taught me to always look for the silver lining in every cloud. He is so positive in his outlook. I have recommended Bob to numerous people and would not hesitate to hire him.
Description of Work: The Clutter Wizard is a professional organizer; my project is ongoing. We have worked to unclutter and organize the kitchen, living room, my bedroom and all the closets. We had done an extensive home remodeling project so my home was filled with boxes, clothes needed to be sorted and put away. We also had a large storage container on our driveway that was filled with boxes and belongings that also needed to be sorted thru so the container could be removed. We still need to work on the garage and redo my filing cabinets. Due to my schedule I could only work 2-3 times per week for 2 hrs at a time. The Clutter Wizard accommodated my schedule easily. The Clutter Wizard charges $65-$75/hour.
