If you're like me, you have a hard time letting things go. Things that hold sentimental value,…read morethings that hold none of such and yet somehow still haunt you from one painful apartment move to another, things that you thought had been lost, things that you were so sure you'd thrown away maybe three apartments ago, things that you believe you may need one day (like pay stubs from that one temp job and tax return papers from 10 years ago.) It then takes someone who can handle a client with lots of baggage (no puns intended.) Entered Rhea and Richard. My goodness they were absolutely incredible. After they left (with TONS of bags - how did I have that much stuff? I don't know, maybe I don't want to know, but yeah I know exactly why it is so), I stayed in the room for a long time just taking in how much nicer it is after they've done their magic. Some part of me wanted to cry, but I was smiling ear to ear. It helps a lot to know that they do donate a bunch of the stuff, that everything doesn't have to go to a landfill. And they take them away for you! What else could one ask for? Thanks Rhea and Richard!!

As a senior citizen, I find those tasks which would have been easier for me when I was younger more challenging. After 44 years of accumulating a variety of clothing in Boston, I needed to downsize. The idea of sorting and organizing 18 full bags of clothing by myself was daunting. Lead organizer Gloria met me and helped me go through those bags in record time (2 hours). I wouldn't have believed it possible. She was professional and compassionate. I ended up keeping two bags of clothing and she took away the rest in her car and arranged for them to be properly donated. Organizing Boston also sent me a receipt for the bags of items that I had donated. Professional efficiency combined with compassion was my experience in working with every aspect of Organizing Boston. What I thought would be a nightmare Gloria told me was fun for her. She definitely made it easy for me. I would highly recommend this group.

The job of dealing with 25 years of Accumulated Stuff seemed overwhelming and I was feeling completely stressed.

I had to move my aging mother suddenly and during the move I did not have time to sort out all of her belongings. I simply dumped it into a room my house. I tried numerous times to tackle this project but there was so much and too many feelings attached too much of it. In the span of aa few hours Judy was able to help me sort out what to keep, what to get rid of. I trusted her taste and opinion. She was very empathetic, yet very pragmatic. I especially liked her suggestion to simply enjoy my mother's china on my table whenever I wanted and not to save it for special occasions as I was brought up. Judy made this organizing project easy, fun and shockingly productive. If you are looking to downsize, organize or simply get your house in order, I highly recommend Judy Hersch and her company All Together Now.

Judy is a pleasure to work with and she didn't blink an eye when we uncovered ancient receipts and appliances that I didn't even know that I owned. I will have Judy back in the not too distant future. I feel motivated to lighten my household load and judging by my basement, she and I will be spending some hours together.

Have you watched Hoarders before? Occasionally there are people who used to be tidy and organized…read moreand then something traumatic happened in their lives and they transformed into hoarders. Well, I had a similar experience to a much, much, much lesser extent. After life punched me in the face, I let go of my hyper-organized, neat self for a few months and just let mess and chaos consume me. When I picked myself up, I looked at my room and just didn't even know where to begin. I realized I had wandered into uncharted territory of mess that I've just never experienced. Enter Pat. She came in and swiftly assessed my situation and got to work right away. When I got sidetracked, she put me back on focus. I thought I would have trouble throwing things out but I actually didn't. I really just needed someone to help me and provide moral support and Pat wonderfully did that. Can I be honest? The best part is that she folded all my clothes! She also helped me rearrange my room in a way that would optimize space efficiency and gave me a few pointers on how to store things. Storage is a challenge in my room. I'm knocking off one star only because I think it's a bit pricey for what I was looking for. If you are someone who is generally organized and just needs a little help, I would recommend scoping out your options for pricing. In the Boston area, it seems like her her hourly rate is standard, but there are some who have lower minimum hourly bases, some who offer discounts, and some who have lower rates all together. Those who have lower rates tend to have less experience and credentials, but I think I would've been okay with that. With that said, if you need help with a large project or is someone who has struggled with organization, I would totally recommend her. She is definitely very pleasant to work with and takes her time in explaining everything and answering all your questions. My positive interactions with her over the phone was what ultimately won me over, even though price wise she was the most expensive on my life.

From the moment I spoke to Pat Bernabei I felt at ease with the enormous tasks at hand. My elderly mother, who was not able to get settled into her new home until her furniture, dishes and clothes arrived, had been anxiously awaiting to start her new life in Massachusetts. Pat immediately had everything under control, including staying on top of the moving company as the truck made its way across the country. We needed to get my mother unpacked as quickly as possible. On move-in day, Pat was our designated point person and organized the unpacking like the pro she clearly is. Miraculously, all was unpacked and put away in a single day! And Pat even cleared away the boxes so there was no clutter in the new apartment. Pat also took the initiative of sending to the moving company a picture of a dresser they had damaged during the move. She is simply on top of it all! For anyone needing to get organized, for anyone needing to help a senior citizen move to another city or state, Pat of Sort it Out is the answer to all your worries. She will get it done and it will be done perfectly.
