As much as I *love* organizing we were both feeling overwhelmed with the amount of items/smaller awkward space and didn't know where to start. I had never worked with a professional organization company and admittedly had all the nerves. It's a vulnerable process to have someone in your space with your stuff and everything (including us) was treated with care. The organizers were lovely to work with, so knowledgable, and non-judgmental. They made use of items we already had to help us save money, and provided some guidance to maintain the space. More recently I was faced with a complicated project involving many moving parts in a short time-frame (packing/inventory/coordinating delivery) to move some items out of my Dad's home...while he was terminally ill in the hospital. Now living an hour outside of the city and focused on my Dad's care, I had contacted a couple of different companies I found via Google search who were unfortunately unable to help due to the (understandable) time constraints. When one of them suggested calling Mission 2 Organize (having expanded their business far beyond organization in the years since we last used them) I was hopeful, but cautious to get my hopes up. From the moment I spoke to Maria it honestly felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me. She was kind, compassionate, and worked hard to get me an estimate quickly and line up everything in the time that was needed. The organizers themselves were nothing short of amazing-thoughtful, efficient, thorough, and truly went above and beyond to (literally) lighten my load so I could stay with my Dad. And the thing is, it was no different than years ago when the stakes were lower and the timeframe was a non-issue. That service is a standard for them, not the exception. I will forever be grateful to the M2O team and would highly recommend them for any and all projects-big, small, simple, complex. Thank you M2O!

There was no way we could have unpacked and organized our kitchen and bathrooms over the next few weeks, which is what their team excelled to do in less than a day.

Background: I…read morecurrently live in Los Angeles and decided to sell my condo in the Bucktown/Wicker Park community. I decided to stage my condo to make it sell quicker and my realtor stumbled on Rachel, who is the owner of Staging Sells. I obviously never had a chance to meet her since I live in Los Angeles, but had a quick conversation over the phone with her. Immediately she began to talk about her background. Apparently 17 years as an interior designer. Her resume on the surface seems legit, but don't be fooled. Payment: I found it odd that she requested ALL the payment upfront. Not even half now, half later. This is how she works. She initially wanted to charge me $2,500 to stage a 2br 2ba condo. We agreed to $1700 as the final price. This $1700 included fake plants, cheap furniture, air mattresses, and zero decoration/staging in the bedrooms & bathrooms. What is Staging? Staging allows potential home owners to get a feel for the layout and helps them envision how they can potentially layout their new home, right? Well, this is probably exactly the opposite of what Rachel and her 17 years of experience did. 1) The living room is the most important. Rachel staged it as if it was a lounge of a dentist office. She included cheap, stiff, uncomfortable white couches that were meant to be in an office. 2) The direction the couches were facing was the kitchen, what the fuck? 3) The couches didn't even face the TV. She claims that you can "lay down" on the couch and watch TV. If you ever have guests over, you might as well throw that TV out the window. 4) When was the last time you saw a Canopy style bed in a master bedroom that's small? Apparently Rachel thought it was a bright idea to include one. Not only does it make the existing space look small, but canopy style beds are meant for single family homes. 5) Bathrooms: nothing in there, it's completely empty. No towels, no rugs...we couldn't even use pictures because it looked so barren. Communication: Hard to get a hold of her. She's pretty stubborn when it comes to the layout and design. I kindly asked Rachel to re-arrange add/remove some furniture so we can relist the property. She wanted $500 bucks for this b/c she claims she needs to hire movers. I don't think it costs $500 to remove this cheap furniture...this is highway robbery. As an interior designer, I'd imagine she would have some sense of professional obligation to fulfill the needs and goals of the client. I trusted her by paying upfront that she would make appropriate modifications and work in my best interest. She failed miserably. She is a crook that gives zero fucks about her clients. She hoards cheap furniture and actually has zero sense on interior design.
