Clutter-free living. Many satisfied clients.

Basement Decluttering in the Chicago suburbs
In the first hour, we were starting to see that we actually had a basement. It was no longer owned by boxes. Since moving in 2016, our spare bedroom in the basement was a bastion for luggage, Christmas, old books, kid’s stuff, and wires/computers we just couldn’t let go of. Terri’s command of the room, direction, organization took hold with a force. We were impressed with her personally and professionally — and her helper too! Their work ethic was apparent — determined to make the basement function again. They took away e-scrap to the right place and helped us load our SUV to do a large donate drop. To have the support of Terri and her helper really helped when dealing with our unwillingness to let things go. Terri gets 2 thumbs up, and an elbow bump!

Getting ready to move
I cannot recommend Terri highly enough! She helped me declutter and organize my condo for sale. Before she arrived, my hallway and bedroom closets were so stuffed with clutter it made the doors to the closets not shut. In just 3 hours, Terri helped beautifully organized my closet with bins that were labeled. She also taught me techniques how to keep organized going forward. I feel ready for the next steps in my relocation out of state.

Unpacking at a new condo
I very much appreciate what you and your team did to unpack and organize — and you are so good at what you do! So fast and efficient and all those boxes unpacked and broken down in our garage! I’m glad we worked together so well. A weight has been lifted off my chest. I don’t think I expressed my appreciation to say thanks very much. I’d like to work together in the future and just get this whole place turnkey. P.S. The ladies on your team are lovely!

Craft room cleanout
If you’re on the fence about hiring a professional organizer, maybe my story about working with The Chicago Organizer will help you decide to give it a try.

I was too embarrassed by my messy home to bring in a plumber to fix the faucets. Terri came to my rescue with energy, resources and an efficient system for sorting and organizing. We unearthed (and found a home for) the large number of my craft and quilting items which needed the most attention. We also came across out dated electronics which she took away for recycling.

We also found several service awards (tie tacks, charms, pendants, etc.) from my parents I was ready to throw out. Terri wanted her “metal guy” to take a look at them. End result, they were gold, and I got a nice check that more than paid for an organizing session with Terri!

In addition to a “metal guy,” Terri has a “computer guy,” a “donation pickup guy,” and a handyman. She provided several resources to keep me moving forward on the path to a clutter-free home. The progress I saw after two sessions with Terri has been a real motivator for me to keep going on my own.

Long time client relocated then remodeled
I first contacted Terri in 2012 when she and her team helped me relocate from one condo to the another in my same building. It is now 2018, and I have never forgotten all of her help so checking my phone contacts where I had her listed for 6 years, I reached out again for help through a major remodel. She is like a daughter/friend who makes going through and weeding out extraneous stuff more fun! She has such a great perspective in containing and locating items based on the way I use them. She always comes with supplies, takes my donations away, and arranges for pickups. She makes a lonely frustrating task more enjoyable and I have such a good feeling when finished. She is just a delight to work with!

Basement declutter by the team
I just wanted to say that your team members were the best organizers I have ever worked with! They were cheery and positive, and tackled a lot of dust in my basement. They are also very smart and did an excellent job! I have tackled several areas in my house since your team was here. It was great to have them get me started.
