When my first organizer had to retire abruptly pre-covid I tried several others but none were…read morewilling to do what I needed: organize the mess themselves so we could get to work together on the actual organizing. Plus most say "I don't judge" or "I've seen worse", because Rebecca just got to work I realize I've never quite believed it. The photo is the result of only four hours of work, two of which I simply hid. Some is trash, obviously, although I do have an excuse for the hamper. The rest is donations, things I don't use or wear which other people actually need. I'm not attaching inside photos: I can finally get to the entire floor but haven't vacuumed it yet. It's like this: once things started to go bad it had just kept getting worse. My walk-in closet and bedroom had gotten so cluttered I didn't have a place to put clean laundry, had sheets in various places, rope baskets piled on top of boxes - all with a jumble of crafts and clothing and books and whatever. I couldn't even find space to pull it all out to sort it. Rebecca arrived, I hid in my study. 2 hours later she had things to the point that I could come in and start making decisions. And she'd found four cat brushes - I kept buying new ones and duplicates because I couldn't find what I had. My homework is getting all the laundry done and put away. She's gathered other groups of small things I can easily sort through to keep only what I need. And collecting all the paper including stuff to be filed so old I don't need it and old files. Only some of it needs to be shredded and I don't think she knows what she's getting into but know that she can handle it. Then we tackle the next stage. my living/dining room. We all had good intentions: during the lockdown we pulled things out of places to organize them then were too overwhelmed to actually do it. Three years and Rebecca got this part done in little over three hours.

Most recently I used Lisa and her team to help me pull off an ambitious move to a smaller place that required me to sell, donate, store, or dispose of 75% of my furniture and belongings -- in a very short amount of time. I was completely overwhelmed. The Organizing Mentors did a spectacular of helping me sell what I could, donate or trash what I couldn't, and decide which was which. Lisa also hooked me up with a number of invaluable resources to help with other aspects of my move. This team is responsive, reliable, reasonably-priced, remarkably competent one-stop shopping for any. kind of organizing, decluttering, or moving challenges you might face. If I could give them a 10-star rating, I would.

The owner Lisa was very kind and professional and was always there to help me with my decision making. Once I committed to having some assistance, I asked for two helpers with OM to come out. Meagan and Nancy were very fast and respectful of the items being collected/removed. My advice to anyone having to do the same thing, is do your best to gather or remove all of the items you/family want to keep so when OM come over to help it is easier to say, "donate, sell or throw away". Although I have never used a service like this before, they saved me alot of time and frustration. How do you put a price on time? This service is also helpful if you dont have anyone else to help you remove items or if items are too big on your own. Thanks Lisa and your Organizing Mentors team

Katherine was amazing! Once I decided I wanted to get my…read morelife together I found her on Yelp and she very quick to respond. I felt very comfortable with her as she followed all the safety measures possible. She worked with both my husband and I to organize our three closets which had become overwhelming after a stressful move. She was prompt and attentive to our everyday lifestyle and made things easy to spot. Katherine was sooo focused at getting the job done not even my two small dogs could distract her! (She was very sweet to them) I hate to say this but I wouldn't mind having a little clutter just to have her back! It is very obvious that she has a true passion for this and you can tell by the way she does the job. Best way to start the year!

Beyond the Box was very caring and compassionate from the beginning. All employees involved in the process were helpful. The owner was always available when her expertise was needed.

The move to assisted living was made easier by the Beyond the Box employees taking the time to choose carefully what furniture, pictures, and family photographs would fit well into a much smaller living space from the condo. The assisted living apartment was thoughtfully decorated for our family member. We could not have possibly done this kind of move by ourselves. We have used them for other moves and will use them again for any future moves.
