Q: What is a professional organizer?

A: Professional Organizers provide information, products and assistance to help others organize to meet their needs. A professional organizer should guide, encourage, and educate clients about basic principles of organizing by offering support, focus and direction.

Q: What can a professional organizer do for me?

A: A professional organizer can provide ideas, information, structure, solutions, and systems, which can increase productivity, reduce stress, and create a newfound freedom and sense of being in control.

Q: Will a professional organizer make me throw away all my "stuff"?

A: A professional organizer is a consultant who will ask questions, make observations and suggestions to help you decide what is or is not important to you. Ultimately, you, the client, are the final decision-maker.

Q: How much does a professional organizer charge?

A: Based on a 1998 NAPO survey, typical fees range from $40 an hour to $200 an hour. This is based on your geographic location and the type of organizing service(s) you require. After a complimentary assessment of your business or residence, you will be delighted to learn that Divine Organization's rates are significantly less. All necessary supplies are extra and will be billed additionally to the client.

Q: Does the professional organizer do the work or does she/he tell me how to do it?

A: This is a personal decision based on your needs and budget. While some clients prefer working alongside their organizers others just need direction and an action plan to get them going.
