I did not know what to think when my older sister called with the number for Organizing Boston and told me, "You need to get a hold of this group." I am so glad I listened to her. 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. read more

I've referred Organizing Boston and her crew to several of my clients with glowing results. The stress free help with stressful organizing and de-clutter projects is invaluable. Sometimes it's hard to even know where to start on a project and they know exactly how to help steer you in the right direction doing as much or as little of the heavy lifting as you need them to do. Oh, and moving!! Help with moving. Seriously. Worth every penny!! read more

I had SUCH a positive experience with Organizing Boston! We hired them to organizing all the cord clutter in our office space and they worked magic! They were able to work super independently and were extremely warm and collaborative. I felt I could really trust them to do a good job, and they absolutely delivered! We are all so pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend! read more

Thrilled! Lisa was such a professional. Not only did she help me organize my cluttered basement, she gave me ideas for storage that saved me money! I am looking forward to hiring her again. read more

Ann Jewell helped me for 9 months intermittently get my home decluttered and ready for a move out. And i had been in that house for 20 years. Many many trips to donation, calls for junk removal then on to estimates for moving and storage, Ann went above the call of duty and helped clean out the fridge a few days before closing so I could go have my surgery. I couldn't have done it without her! read more

My organizer Lisa Blake was amazing. In just two 3 hour sessions she completely changed my life! She was like a whirlwind helping me sort items to donate, throw away, recycle, and keep neatly boxed. She made clutter disappear. For years I resisted hiring a professional organizer, but I am so happy I finally did. Thank you Lisa! read more

Hoarding runs in my family. I also live down the street from the mall, so instead of doing laundry, some weekends I just buy new clothes to go out in. I've also lived in the same apartment for 10 years, so no opportunity to purge when moving house. I have literally filled up every storage space then covered the floors with clothes and junk. I have 4 closets between my two bedrooms and yet still there is not enough room for all my clothes and other nonsense. Enter Organizing Boston. After installing new Elfa closet systems and explaining to me why I don' t need every t-shirt I wore in college or 2 dressers full of socks (yes, not kidding. 8 sock drawers!) We filtered out the giant pile of clothes for donations in one of the photos (over $550 value on Goodwill est. for my taxes!) and now every item of clothing, shoe, and even my hats have dedicated space. I even have EXTRA space. We didn't need the new closet systems, but man it makes a HUGE difference. Highly recommended!!! I wouldn't/haven't ever done it on my own. It's well worth the modest investment to have Organizing Boston help you. They really make sense and talk you out of random crap that has been lying around for years. It truly is an investment in your own well being. In just 3 weeks, my habits have changed dramatically regarding what I do with my stuff when I'm done with it. I could go from -cleaning lady just left- to tornado hit in about 10 minutes, before. Mostly because if I put something away, it meant shoving it in a random free space or leaving it near the closet. That is not really possible anymore and that feels good. I can't make a mess, so I don't have to pick up after myself. Win Win. My cleaning lady of 7 years came by on Monday and I showed her everything. She was so proud of me. I admitted to having help, but she still gave me a hug and said how great it will be to have space to put things away. Thanks Organizing Boston! I'm definitely feeling good about my living space for 2013. (I can't figure out how to post photos, but I'm sure O.B. will post them on the website. I'm a before/after poster child!) read more

I am happy to update my review because of extenuating circumstances in which Sarah, the owner , made good to me... multifold. I have had clutter issues and associated despair for years over my spare bedroom. Kate began working tirelessly with me, and after a half an hour, I began to feel that it is possible to get control over a previously hopeless situation. I could not have done this alone and I picked the right team to help me. Organizing Boston "taught me how to fish" I have the skills, attitude and vision now for a home which greets me with open clutter free spaces. read more

This is an update on a review from 7/21/13. There was an issue with the 1st session and I expressed my disappointment. Sarah B. contacted me regarding the issue and resolution. Today, Kate A., of Organizing Boston worked with me and I am thrilled with the outcome, so thrilled in fact that I scheduled another session for next week. Besides getting a lot done during the session, I felt like a big weight had been lifted from me. I feel energized and inspired. I even enjoyed the process. read more

Organizing Boston services was a wedding gift. At first I was pretty skeptical why did we need them? We were moving to kentucky. We could pack our own stuff. In hindsight we couldn't pack like them. We had acquired so much junk!! Not only did it make a huge difference when we had to unpack it saved us money on the moving expenses!! Since then we moved again and I wish Organizing Boston was everywhere!!! The packers piled everything in boxes with no rhyme or reason. 2 yrs later we still can't find our stuff! Highly recommended. read more

Organizing Boston by far is the best in Boston and everywhere! Sarah was amazing to work with. She listened to my organizational needs and made sure she sent over one of her organizers that was a perfect match! My house looks great and I am still staying organized and I love it! The organizer was understanding and did not pressure me to throw out what I was unsure of. We had full positive conversation and accomplished a lot! I am going to have her back to help me with my basement! The organizers will help you pick out what you need for organizing and give you suggestions. The great part of the whole experience is that the organizer and I were a team! I highly recommend Organizing Boston! Check it out!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Erin for about 4 hours on a Saturday. All I can say is: she changed my house and my life! Kind and to the point, Erin asked a few simple questions and then get right to work with me. Near the end, I got tired and more emotionally attached to things I NEVER thought I was connected to. But Erin got me right through the process. By the end of our time together, she'd made wonderful changes and suggestions to re-think my home storage and home office needs. I HIGHLY recommend this company! Also: I did use one of the Yelp deals to lower the price slightly and it helped! read more

They sent Amanda, who did a truly fantastic job. She was a total perfectionist, made everything look amazing, and worked incredibly hard for two days straight. She was also an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I hesitate to commit to the internet just how badly my pantry and kitchen needed reorganizing around the time of my last birthday. I asked for a gift certificate for a professional organizer to come and help me as a birthday present, and the person who got it for me chose this company after reviewing several companies' websites. I couldn't have been more pleased. My organizer, Sarah Brooks, went above and beyond the call of duty, even staying a bit longer than the certificate just to be able to finish the task we were doing at the time the hours ran out. Since then I've twice hired her myself to help with tasks - first with helping to tame the clutter when the house I was renting was put up for sale, and second to help with sorting and readying to move after the house sold. Both times she again was very helpful and quite sensitive both to my physical limitations and to my feelings/my situation at the time/etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Organizing Boston to anyone who needs help with clutter, reorganizing, getting ready to move, or similar projects. They do both home and office projects, little or larger, one-time or regular maintenance. It's cheaper if you buy in advance on the website - and yes, you can order gift certificates there, too! read more

I had a fabulous experience with Lisa. She was prompt, professional and very friendly. The entire experience was really enjoyable. She spent three hours working to help me organize my kitchen cabinets and pantry. She listened to me needs and quickly put together a plan. I am so happy with the results. She followed up with an email suggesting next steps I could do on my own or with her, and I really appreciated that flexibility. Thank you Lisa! read more

I hired Organizing Boston through Groupon to help us de-clutter our home and it was an excellent experience. Mackenzie showed up right on time and went straight to work. I needed someone who wouldn't get distracted by the multiple projects and she was great about staying very focused and finishing each task, and she even took some trash and recycling with her when she left so I didn't have to! Like the other reviewer, Mackenzie stayed until she got the task done and didn't charge me for going over our allotted time. She also made sure to ask if we had addressed all of my goals for the day so that she could make sure I was happy. I will definitely hire Organizing Boston again for my next home project, and I recommend them to others who need a helping hand with cleaning up their home, downsizing or just improving their space. read more

We hired Organizing Boston to do a staging plan for our 560 sq ft studio. Instead of a clear schematic of which furniture or organizing solution should go where, we received a mish mash of suggestions that didn't take into account specific large needs, such as where clothes currently hanging on a garment rack would go. We received one or two suggestions of things that we can buy from Ikea that we are likely to purchase, but other than that we received little to no value from the service. Based on the other review on here and what I've seen on their website, my request was not a good match for their expertise. It is shame the person that booked my appointment didn't say that. read more
