Getting Started

What Does A Professional Organizer Do?

“Professional organizers use tested principles and expertise to enhance the lives of clients. By designing custom organizing systems and teaching organizing skills, they help individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper piles, their lives!” (from www.napo.net)

Where Do I Begin?

I begin with a complimentary Assessment Consultation prior to beginning work with any client.

The purpose of this consultation is to discuss and determine further, how I can best serve you. I will meet with you and get a visual of the space with which we will be working. I will take you through a questionnaire and will answer any questions you may have about the process, and establish yours and the project’s ultimate goals.

How Do You Charge?

I charge for my services by the hour. After the Assessment Consultation has been completed, I require a 4-hour minimum with each visit.

Will I Need Supplies?

Generally, in organizing a space for efficiency, different types of supplies are used to create the best solution possible for the client.

Although I strive to use supplies the client may already have, if purchasing new ones is necessary this will be a separate expense independent of our hourly rate of service.

Purchasing of supplies can be done by having me purchase the supplies for you, purchasing the supplies with you, or by having you purchase the supplies if that is your preference. This will be addressed in the Assessment Consultation.

Policies

Confidentiality

I respect your privacy. All information received from or disclosed by the client is considered confidential, and will be treated as such.

Sofia’s Organizing Solutions is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and abides by its code of ethics.

Cancellation Policy

In order to best serve its clients efficiently, S.O.S. has a 48-hour cancelation policy, requiring notification both for the initial assessment and/or any scheduled organizing sessions.

If an organizing session is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, a minimum of 3 hours will be due. These charges will be billed to the client for payment. However, I like to be flexible in emergency circumstances and I will take into consideration the re-scheduling of any such appointment.
