I had a 3-hour session with Sarah. My condo was being renovated at the time, so I had furniture…read moreeverywhere and people clanging and hammering upstairs. Sarah was great! I have a little IGTV show, and she was cool with being a part of it. We cleaned one side of my SUPER cluttered closet. And she gave me homework to work on the other sides. She would hand me boxes, I'd go through them and separate into shred, donate, garbage, recycle, or keep, and hand them back and we worked like that for the entire 3 hours. It's been maybe a month since she came and that side of my closet still looks like the day she left. It's kinda weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you go through your clutter, but just remember, they are there to help, not to judge. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sent a message saying I wanted her to come back and I just never heard back from them anymore. I'm thinking my place was probably tooooooo much of a cluster for her. EEK!!!

I am a hot mess. Not…read morereally, but my apartment is. I have searched high and low for home organizing services. All of them were too expensive. I'm not going to pay someone $65 per hour to purge my closet and organize my 250 sq. studio. I found SOS on Yelp. The 5-star reviews seemed questionable but after my experience, they deserve them! I started with a 3-hour appointment with Callie. She's an absolute doll. I am amazed by her creative organizing solutions! We went through my walk-in closet and kitchen. It helps to help. I couldn't just sit back and watch her organize my belongings. It can be tedious, but it's worth it! We accomplished A LOT. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't have the motivation or drive. I can see my floor again! I found my favorite sweater! Everything makes sense now! I love, love, LOVE how organized my apartment is. I am so happy I found SOS and met Callie! I finally got it done! Plus: It feels nice coming home now.

Everyone....I had years of paper to go through, because I have a chronic pain illness. This task…read morewas absolutely daunting to me. I decided it finally had to be done, so I searched the Yelp reviews and found Jessica. I spent 5 hours total with Jessica, got rid of two black garbage bags full of paper, and now I have a new filing system free of old stuff. A few points: 1. I'm a perfectionist, so working with Jessica enabled me to feel less overwhelmed by the task and the need to have it completed TODAY. 2. Jessica did not push me to spend more time than I was able given my health. 3. It's as if Jessica gave me the okay to have a memory box that wasn't organized. She said to just throw the things in the box, so that's what I did. And, she's right. My memory box doesn't have to be perfectly paper clipped and organized by year (call me crazy, but I said I'm a perfectionist!) 4. Jessica arrives early. Those of you who wait until the last minute...DON'T. No complaints here; I'm just making you aware. What a great quality :) 5. Jessica WORKS. This is not a coffee clatch to her. She concentrates and gets things DONE. 6. AFFORDABLE. Time is money; however, I have lots of time and little money. 'Nuf said. This was an awesome experience for me...spiritually cleansing to say the least. No more feeling weighed down by "stuff". Thank you so much, Jessica!! So glad I met you, and so happy to have accomplished so much with your assistance!!

JS is an amazing person and has a great business. In 4 hours, she helped take my 4th bedroom (or…read moreshould I say storage shed) to a open workable room. With her help I now have a room that is now my home office. As I travel agent, I have an overabundance of brochures magazines and other paraphernalia that go with my business. I needed to downsize here? So I could have a good workable space. know that a lot of it needed to be thrown out, organized, or just put it in a different place. Jess helped me figure out what needed to be thrown out , got boxes together for donations , storage , or garbage. By the time the four hours were over I had an empty bookcase, and empty closet and three bins empty. Jess will take things away the garbage, the dumpster, or to be donated. You don't get a second chance to change your mind. The things that I did want to keep , she help me organize them in a really good fashion , so I can easily get to them and not get overwhelmed. I cannot say enough good things about JS. Jess's enthusiasm, her knowledge and her passion help make an overwhelming experience pleasant with a really great outcome.

Erin is fantastic! I have wanted to call an organizer for years and at the same time had a lot of…read morefear (some rational, some irrational). Erin came in and to put me at ease any faster would have been literally impossible. She looked around and asked me what my thoughts were and more importantly, she listened. Erin immediately dug in while gently guiding me and talking to me about her ideas for moving forward. Erin is so gentle but effective in the way she directs that I was shocked at how quickly she got me through some piles that have been sitting for literal years! I asked for homework the last few minutes of our session so I could build on our progress and Erin took me room by room to talk. I agree with the other reviews that mention Erin is an incredible value for her rate and you should book time with her now!

Erin always leaves with bags and boxes for donation. She has the most energy of anyone I've known and is very efficient with your time. You'll leave feeling SO productive. I've hired her multiple times for different organizing and moving purposes. I've hired Erin for the following projects: Organizing a small space Purchasing affordable organizers for a condo Moving and packing for two people Unpacking a kitchen/setup Decluttering a garage You'll be amazed at how much you'll accomplish in 4 hours with Erin! Erin is incredibly trustworthy and has a great disposition. She is non-judgmental, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor. My partner especially appreciates her upbeat personality and says, "Wow, she makes organizing fun!" I will absolutely use her again for more jobs in the future! Erin is quite philanthropic and really helps out in the community. This is super appealing to me. Her empathic approach is welcomed.

I appreciated how easy Terri was to coordinate with - she even did a FaceTime with me before the session to give me some organization product ideas. Amy was our organizer on the day and she was lovely to work with. She helped us go through our master closet in a very nonjudgmental and straightforward way. She helped us donate almost 3 bags of items. We plan on working with Terri and her team again and would recommend for anyone to hire her for your organizing needs.

After I moved house, I had so many rent-a-crates to unpack and return very quickly. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't move two feet without hitting a box, and unpacking by myself was too slow. I contacted Terri again. Terri couldn't come out to personally help me within my limited window of time, but she has fantastic team members. Kammy came to help me, stayed for just under five hours, and we unpacked every rent-a-crate plus all of the cardboard boxes! There is a little left to do in order to make my new place feel like home, but Kammy's help means that 95% of the work is done. I am so pleased with The Chicago Organizer. Terri and Kammy are kind, professional, quite fair in their pandemic requirements, and most of all -- HELPFUL. Money well spent again!

I did a 2 hour session with Kristyn from For the Love of Tidy last week and it really was a "Joy…read moreCheck"! She first asked me a series of questions to give her (and I) an over-all view of the things I value in my life and what my goals were. I really liked that because throughout the rest of our conversation, she was able to draw the lines and parallels back to my core values and goals, which helped me see the vision of what I wanted in my home and my "things" more clearly. Kristyn was super receptive and kind and answered all my silly questions and concerns about the process of tidying up. I felt like we had plenty of time to go over everything she had planned plus go over things that were meaningful and personal to me that might not apply to others, so it was a very personalized thing which was really the most valuable aspect to me. Another thing I really liked, was at the end of our session she gave me "homework" to do based on our discussion and the tour of my home. I appreciated that leaving the conversation I knew exactly what my next steps were and why. After our session, Kristyn emailed me personalized tidying resources based on our discussion, my concerns/questions, and my values, including podcast episodes that discuss these topics (I loooove the Podcast btw!). I've been going through all these resources and I'm getting a better grasp on how to reach my goals! I'm more motivated than ever and loved having Kristyn's support to get there! I highly recommend For the Love of Tidy, to help you get a clearer vision of your goals, future, and what things belong in your life AND how to get there!

I was super excited to know that Kristyn is a certified Konmari consultant. With that in mind I decided to gift the session to my 17yr old daughter who needed some guidance for her small but cluttered bedroom. It was a pleasure for my daughter to work with Kristyn. She was patient, kind, non judgmental, and provided many helpful tips (according to my daughter). She puts your goals and vision in mind while creating a wonderful space. After several bags of trash and donations, my daughter's bedroom was transformed to an organized and tidy space. I was no longer afraid to open her closet! :) Everything had a special designated home and many items had a new home that was refreshing. I'm sure that Kristyn's work will have a lasting impact on my daughter as she enters adulthood. I highly recommend her to make life changing results to your space and environment. I look forward to having her back for other projects!

Stuff is really personal. Inviting someone into your home or business to go through your stuff and…read moremake sense of it, organize it, clear it out, declutter it, can be a harrowing experience for most people. Hiring a home organizer is a lot like hiring a personal fitness trainer - it's going to get real personal real fast. For that reason you have to be sure that you're getting the right person to work with. And what kind of person would that be? Well, the first thing that I look for is someone who totally "gets it!" Someone who's been through the chaos and come out the other side and understands that making order out of that chaos is as much a mental and emotional process as it is sorting through the stuff. So, I was delighted when, in my first conversation with Hannah Bonecutter about home organization, I got that tingling feeling that happens when you meet someone who is in the middle of their sweet spot, following their passion in a way that matches them perfectly. The way that Hannah engaged with the conversation was like a dog searching for a bone behind every bush and under every rock; nothing was left in a dark corner; everything got sniffed out and laid in the middle of the conversation and I could almost see her sorting through it mentally and stacking it up in a perfect pile to see what it was that was going on. Not only was there zero judgment about my mess, there wasn't any sense of dread or anxiety about the prospect of dealing with the chaos, and there was this pure sense that in her heart of hearts she was leaping for joy and saying "Finally, a challenge that's worthy of my capability!" Now that's a good feeling going into a de-cluttering experience! Maybe it's having such a big name to live up to, but Hannah Bonecutter was clearly made for this profession. She exudes a kind of confidence and power which is contagious. She's like the female version of Hercules confronting the Aegean stables: nothing is going to be overlooked in her attention to getting the job done. I may never appreciate ORDER the way that Hannah does - I'm one of those creative types who loves a sprawling mess to get my ideas moving - but I have a new appreciation for the goodness of order and why it was that creating order out of chaos was one of the first things the ancient gods did for human beings! Hannah Bonecutter doesn't just do organizing; it's in her nature to be that way!

Now I know where everything is, I get the information that I need faster, and I don't have to check multiple places and be worried that I'm missing something. There is a mental clarity benefit that comes along with Boneclutter services. Knowing that I finally got my stuff organized and I'm happy with the placement of everything now is a weight lifted! Contact Boneclutter and invest in her professional organizing service! You will feel refreshed and proud of yourself for improving your space finally! A+!
