We had multiple areas in our home that needed a professional touch. We had tried organizing on our own but it never stayed that way. After hiring Anne our home became so much more livable!! She had so many terrific ideas and insight that only someone with experience could give. Anne is professional and personable. I would not hesitate to hire her again and encourage others to do so as well!

Amazing!! My small one bedroom apartment now feels like a functional and peaceful home! Anne did an outstanding job organizing each storage space (closets, pantry, cupboards, etc) to allow for my entire space to flow more effectively. She is a delight and so flexible/collaborative to work with. Six years of item/furniture/junk accumulation was resolved with 3 organizational sessions. Definitely giving her a call back when I move into a house. I cannot recommend Anne enough.

It was a major undertaking I I could not get started.Anne was a delight to work with and she kept me focused. I had retired and had many files and lectures from my work. I now have an organized office, closets and much less clutter. I plan on having her come periodically to keep me on track.

Closets were cleaned out and many trips were made to Good Will.

Anne is really wonderful. She has great organizational skills and helped me face getting rid of a lot of clothes and "stuff" that I just found too daunting to deal with. It is a huge relief to get these things out of my life. This was a big job.. She works every minute while she was here.. I highly recommend.

Anne did a superb job! She has very good organizational skills! I hit the "jackpot" when I chose her. I liked how she labeled the totes that she put my items in, and how she organized, catorized like items. I liked the suggestions she gave me. She was very thorough in what she did. Anne, gets a thumbs up, five stars, and as a gave her all A's on Angie's list!

I met her when she was running a special. She comes and helps you organize. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty and she digs right in. She is terrific. Usually, if the project you can't possibly do yourself and it just sits, she gets you motivated and two people get it done and you get it done in half the time. She even works with hoarder. She's pleasant.She understands what I want to do.

I hired Anne for three sessions and then added two additional ones because I found her services so worthwhile. She has a great formula for decluttering and organizing what is left. My husband and I are so pleased with the end result and felt Anne's time was well worth the money. Anne did a great job of incorporating my wishes with her talents of setting things up. She is also very professional and pleasant to work with as well as very efficient with our time.

In progress now but she's great and it's going very well. She's "emancipated" most of the basement, including a laundry area, and the spare bedroom. Full of great advice that will serve me well after it's all finished.

Anne has been a life saver in this process!! She is extremely professional, dedicated and helpful. We have spent several days working together in each problem area, and have streamlined and organized to the point where everything that has been kept has a purpose and a place, or those items that are sentimental have been reduced to a limited, manageable amount. It is no exaggeration to say we have literally gone through dozens of bins and boxes, and I have made 20-25 full car load trips to Goodwill. Anne is very proficient at helping you to identify what to keep, toss or donate. Everything remaining (probably less than a third) is sorted and labelled and easy to find. She has turned a very challenging, difficult and overwhelming task into a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. And beautifully organized spaces! We have been so successful in those huge problem areas, that we have gone on to work together on organizing closets, cabinets, the pantry, etc. I would highly recommend Anne for any home organizing project. She is reasonably priced and well worth the money spent. My home hasn't looked this good in 20 years!!
Description of Work: My husband and I, along with our three children have been living in our current home for 23 years. During that time, a huge amount of clutter had accumulated in our garage, attic and basement. We had kept many things from the time the kids were little, as well as many boxes and bins of holiday decorations, outgrown clothing, books, toys, etc. When I retired, I decided I needed to make downsizing a priority.

I thought the organizer would come in with a crew to clean/organize the space for me. It turned out to be a team of one. She and I did the work of vacuuming, sorting, assembling storage shelves, and organizing. I wanted someone to do the work that I didn't have the time nor the desire to do myself. I ended up paying someone to put me to work. The $160 four hour session was enough to cover half the garage. The positive: She is very nice and cleaning the one side of the garage was enough motivation for me to get my son to help clean the other side - for free.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for the first appointment and was pleased so purchased a three-session package which Anne offers at a discount. We've met the four times so far. This is one of the best things I've done for myself. I've tried unsuccessfully for years to tackle the basement on my own. Anne is easy to work with, has very helpful suggestions, and keeps us moving and on track. We leave time to pack my car with donations and recycles which I deliver as soon as we finish. I am so pleased with what we have accomplished. I have scheduled more sessions to finish the basement and hopefully move on to the garage.

I called the owner three times and spoke with her one time when she returned my call. I told her I was on my way out the door for a doctor's appointment, and she said she would call back. When she called back, I wasn't home, so she left a message saying she would call back. She never did! Apparently, she doesn't need the business. Terrible customer service!

Anne helped me to focus and organize the overwhelming process of clearing out our basement. She provided a 20 minute initial consultation by coming to my home and discussing the area that needed to be organized. On the day of the appointment, she helped me go through items and decide on whether I really needed to keep them and if not, donate or sell (if worth the time). The items I kept were sorted so like items were together and accessible based on use. For example, I had wrapping paper, gift bags and boxes in various areas of the basement. We combined, organized and condensed them into a labeled storage bin. As we worked through the process of organizing and clearing the clutter, Anne helped me to remain focused. She offered guidance to make decisions on what to keep and moved me along if I got sucked into spending more time with sentimental items. It was extremely helpful having Anne there to get me through this process. She left a list of to-dos for me to work on after she left and really helped me to look at how I can better organize my home. I will continue to use Anne to help me declutter and organize other areas of the house.
Description of Work: Anne helped me to sort through, organize and clear out my basement with the four hour big deal coupon. This was an outstanding deal! I also had Anne come back three more times after her initial visit.
