Answers to Common Professional Organizing Questions:
Let's Get Into It
Will we be working together?
The decision is totally yours to make! Ideally, our local Fort Lauderdale professional organizers would like to work with you during the decluttering portion of the organizing process because you make the final decision on what items are kept, donated, or discarded. We are here to gently guide you through the decision-making process without judgment. However, if you have other things to tend to, we can also work independently.
How do consultations work?
To begin, schedule your free phone consultation at https://calendly.com/theorganizedpearl
Before the consultation, you will be asked to provide photos or a video of the project area(s), as they will help facilitate the discussion. We will discuss your goals and preferences during the consultation to formulate an individualized action plan. The call typically lasts 15- 20 minutes but may vary.
Do I need to clean before your arrival?
Absolutely not! We provide "nonjudgmental" services, and the state of cleanliness doesn't matter. If cleaning ahead of time makes you feel more comfortable, then by all means, please feel free to do so. We only ask that you remove fragile items from the area before the organizing session starts.
Will you be taking photos/ videos of my space?
This decision is entirely up to you! We prioritize your privacy and will never capture anything that reveals your identity or that of your loved ones. Before and After photos/videos are essential to our success and ability to book more amazing clients like you! Permission to capture media is highly encouraged and appreciated, but clients can always deny photography.
​
Should I purchase storage products ahead of time?
If you have been wanting a storage item, like a particular beautiful wicker basket, feel free to purchase it. However, purchasing storage items ahead of time is not necessary. Our professional organizers will utilize any storage items you already have on hand before making any storage recommendations. Storage recommendations are made after the decluttering process. If we determine that the space would benefit from further storage purchases, we will take measurements to help determine what items best suit the area. There are a few ways storage recommendations and setup can be handled from there, depending on your budget.
How are payments handled?
​
Each client will receive an invoice for the initial deposit through Square. After that, clients can pay for their professional organizing services through Square or Venmo. Your banking information will never be stored or seen by any member of The Organized Pearl.
