Clearly Organized Living

Claire is a very pleasant person to work with which is important when you hire an organizer. She was thoughtful, respectful, and followed my lead while also making some great suggestions that we ended up following.

Claire did an awesome job, especially with setting up a filing system which I'm still using 6+ months later. She answered my inquiry promptly, showed up on-time, used the right amount of pressure to get me to throw things away, had a lot of creative ways to organize things that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Overall, it was well worth the money.

Claire worked wonders in cleaning out and organizing the storage space. I was sure it would take days, but working together we really worked a miracle in 4 hours leaving the space visibly organized and accessible and leaving me with an itemized list of things to be donated. Claire absolutely has a gift for organizing and I am grateful for the work.

Last Monday Claire swooped in on our house, to good effect. It was mildly epic. We focused on two rooms, and moved some furniture within and between them. We both had some good ideas that built off each other, and my husband happily moved a few things. The living room looks like a room where people might live and enjoy spending time now. The front bedroom looks like a sewing/knitting workroom that has a lovely futon for guests to sleep on. Both rooms look so much more coherent now.

Claire is extremely prompt. She sees right through the chaos and knows exactly where to begin in on efficient and easy way. She has a gift- understand my needs and helped me. I recommend her enthusiasm and caring of my needs.

When my husband and I decided we might in the next few years think about moving and downsizing from a three story house plus basement, garage and shed, that we lived in for almost a quarter of a century, we were totally at a loss as to where to begin ?decluttering?. A friend recommended Claire Newman from ?Clearly Organized Living.? She interviewed us separately to find out what our goals were. They were very different. With Claire?s help, we were able to do a healthy round of decluttering. She had ideas as to what to do with medical equipment, paints, exercise equipment and almost anything. Many of her ideas were helpful to charities as well as tax write offs. Claire was and is a delight to work with. She loves her work and it shows. She also helps organize what you are keeping. When we decided to move, she measured all our furniture and placed in on floor plans to help us decide what would fit and what wouldn?t fit into our new house. Prior to moving, Claire gave us a timeline with tasks to make it doable. She gave us a system to track the contents of boxes and furniture to direct the movers. Our move went so smoothly. Thank you Claire! She is amazing and very reasonably priced. We could not have done it without her.
