- The Chicago Organizer is fabulous! I had a closet I couldn’t even walk into, it was such a disaster. Caralyn organized it and now it looks like a high-end boutique.
I can’t wait for them to tackle my kitchen next.Karen E.3/26/2025Jamie and Tracey were fabulous. They unpacked and found homes within my apartment for the majority of my “stuff” that I relocated in a move from Atlanta. I definitely will call them to pack and unpack my belongings when I relocate into my permanent home next Spring. In addition to their professionalism and knowledge, they also were a lot of fun.Maggi J.9/14/2024 - I worked with Kerry over 5 separate sessions. She was here to work and not judge. I had specific areas of the home office/house to work on during each session. She listened to my goals (and my stories...;). The best thing about Kerry is she is ready to listen. Her ideas are fantastic and she is so friendly! She understands the difficulty and apprehension some might face when it comes to taking inventory and purging. No better person to have guide you on the journey!Janet H.9/11/2024I had a great experience with my organizer Jamie, and with the preparation and follow-up conducted by Terri. I recently downsized living spaces, and in my new 1-bedroom apartment, I found I was overwhelmed by stuff — even though I felt like I had gotten rid of lots of things. After 5 months of feeling like I was being overtaken by things, I called Terri. With five hours of down-to-business, thoughtful and sensitive guidance — and a lot of roll-up-your-sleeves, hands-on assistance — I donated several contractor bags of things, got rid of a lot of garbage, and organized my space in a way that is logical and no longer feels like I am bursting at the seams! I am thrilled. Thanks!Douglas C.7/26/2024I recently used The Chicago Organizer to organize my pantry and kitchen cabinets, and I couldn't be more pleased. Scheduling was easy and Terri provided advice and links on purchasing baskets and bins that would work for our space and budget. Caroline and Gina were professional, warm and friendly and they did a fantastic job - my pantry and kitchen cabinets are now beautifully organized and clutter-free! I am thoroughly satisfied with their work and highly recommend their services!T S.7/26/2024
- I have worked with Terri on a variety of home organizing projects over many years and highly recommend her services. I am a very satisfied repeat customer. Whether a small project or large, Terri and her team help declutter and organize and also help responsibly dispose of items, providing a list of resale and donation organizations.Susan E.6/26/2024I cannot say enough good things about The Chicago Organizer. I had just moved to Chicago alone and had about 20 boxes to unpack. I have ADHD and anxiety and had no idea how where to even start unpacking. I decided to see if I could find help to get my head above water with this task. Terri and I got in contact after I saw all the wonderful reviews online, she was the most caring and helpful human to me. She went out of her way to find someone to help me THE NEXT DAY and stayed up late to ensure all the agreements were in order. She heard how panicked I was and made sure she did everything she could to help me, meeting me where I was at and ensuring I did not go into the weekend overwhelmed. This process completely saved me and allowed me to have an easier transition into this new city and new life. I honestly don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Terri and her team, they are beyond helpful - truly my lifesavers. If you need help organizing, unpacking, or finding order in your life contact The Chicago Organizer, they will completely change your life. I want to recommend them to anyone I can because having a professional organizer help you make sense of your home truly changes your way of life. I feel more at peace and less anxious because I know where things are and tidying up is easier because everything has a place. I will be using Terri and her team again without a doubt, for a yearly refresh and if I need help organizing parts of my home as I settle in. Again I really can't recommend them enough and if you are on the fence about whether or not you want to contact an organizer just do it! Your future self with thank you, you deserve the peace and happiness this brings!Sara W.6/26/2024
- Jamie from Destination Organization exceeded all our (both my husband and me) expectations. From our initial inquiry to the last session, Jamie's professionalism, responsiveness, and organizational skills shone through. Part of what we had to organize was 2500 square feet of basement cluttered with years of Knick Knacks, artwork, photographs, frames, etc., along with a workroom and an area filled with artificial flowers and plant material. Jamie helped reduce it down to what was truly useful and important. She then arranged the organized bins and designated different areas, all meticulously labeled. Her non-judgmental, friendly, kind approach made decluttering effortless, and her efficient, punctual work ethic kept us on track. Jamie is very good at staying focused on task at hand even when I would try to bounce from one area to another. Jamie's knack for decision-making and creative solutions transformed my living spaces into functional, organized areas. We highly recommend Jamie to anyone seeking decluttering and organizing assistance. Thank you, Jamie, for your exceptional service! We'll definitely be hiring Jamie for more projects around the house.Sharon F.5/28/2024Jamie helped me space-plan a complex home office and work/storage/file system that was extremely useful and a high selling point of our home. Good organization starts with planning and I felt it was very much worth the time and effort. I recommend Jamie and investing in a good organization system for your processes, both home and office.Katie C.2/15/2024
- Jamie helped us fully move into our new home and prepare for the arrival of our first child. Just about every room of the house needed help, and Jamie's touch was just what we needed! I also picked up some skills from her that I'll use in maintaining the house going forward. Can't recommend her enough!Cynthia T.1/02/2023Jamie helped us fully move into our new home and prepare for the arrival of our first child.

Cynthia T.10/27/2022 - Jamie turns chaos into order! I needed my closets to be more organized but never seemed to get the job done. Jamie did and made it easy for me to maintain her great work! Highly recommend!Nancy B.10/24/2022Jamie was a tremendous help in guiding us in packing our home as we down-sized from a single-family home to a townhome. She asked critical questions to help us determine what we wanted to keep, donate, or purge. Jamie never expressed any judgment about what we decided to keep. Throughout the entire packing process, she was positive and focused, giving helpful tips on packing and storing items. When my husband and I moved into our townhome, Jamie and her team helped us unpack and organize all of our belongings. By the time the team left, it looked as though we had been living here for months. Her price was reasonable for the service she provided. We highly recommend her services!Kathleen L.7/19/2022Jamie reorganized our office space. Our storage area and cabinets were messy and contained items no longer in use. She expertly sorted the items and helped discard and recycle those items no longer needed. She went over the items and how frequently they were used. She re-organized the items in a way that was easy for everyone to understand. It made sense and was seamlessly integrated. She was very patient and pleasant to work with. Her fee was reasonable and we valued the project and positive outcome.Karin R.4/27/2022
- Jamie was great. We reorganized a cluttered craft space, basement, and crawl space. It was all done in one day. I had been feeling very overwhelmed. But I felt so much better after it was completed. Having everything in a specific space has helped me to maintain the organization. I’m looking forward to having her out again soon with my next project.Bridget B.3/11/2022We have used Jamie in the past for organization and it had turned out great. We moved to a smaller house and really needed her help now.After unpacking the truck, all items were left in the labeled boxes. Jamie first checked out the layouts of the kitchen, dinning room, living room and office space.Kitchen was the most important. After joint decisions on where good placement of items, then came the unpacking and consolation process. We had lots of extras that just were not needed since it was my wife and I now, with no kids.After many trips to the salvation army, we had it down to the correct number of items. Drawers and cabinets were labeled and the processes was nearly done.We were down to getting a few helpful organizing items for the pantry and cabinets. As for many things now, they were on back order. We were able to get them later and placed where Jamie said.Wow what a kitchen!Office went the same way, but the kitchen was the first thing. Need to feed hungry people that were helping.Douglas D.2/14/2022Who knew 2 hours with DestOrg could change your life? Believe me when I say my hall closet makeover was a game changer for me and my whole family of five! With their help I was able to redeploy nearly 70% of the closet’s contents to other places in the house. This left a huge amount of usable space for more relevant things such as shoes, hats, pet items and cleaning supplies. Reorganizing this closet also helped open up more space in other high traffic areas of our house like the Laundry room/Mud room and foyer. We are now living with way less clutter and no longer are we stumbinlg over each other’s shoes. Everything has a proper place. The transformation was incredible and so worth it! I highly recommend Destination Organization !Kellie H.11/09/2021
- Destination Organization designed my pantry and master closet in my newly built home. We went through my kitchen and closet ahead of time and she figured out the most efficient way to lay both out. Everything was ordered ahead of time and was ready for her to install when we moved in. She also recently helped me purge and organize my craft room so that it can also be used for my home office. I'm so happy with all the spaces she's helped me with.Kelly L.6/23/2021Jamie helped organize my daughter’s closet. I had been struggling for years to find a system that would fit everything in a way my daughter could maintain long-term. Jamie did a fantastic job of engaging my daughter and getting her input throughout the whole process; asking questions to gather insight and determine the best layout for my daughter’s needs. She shared a wealth of information on proven techniques for organization. The result was a solution that my daughter feels proud to have helped create and that she has maintained flawlessly! Thank you, Jamie!Amy R.5/11/2021Getting ready for an upcoming house move can be stressful. Destination Organization is the place to go and excels in 3 areas: 1) Jamie has excellent spatial design which allows the best use of the existing spaces 2) Jamie has innovative ideas for unique spaces and 3) Jamie makes the process easy and simplified. It was seamless. Now I am ready to move and plan to use Destination Organization for my upcoming move to our new home. I highly recommend Destination Organization!Elaine B.5/11/2021
- Anyone who is looking to get organized, de cluttered or just needs a little help, Destination Organization is the place to go. Lived out of boxes for over 20 years, but not anymore. Jamie has really helped me understand what it means to be organized. Everything has a category and every category has a home. Thanks to Jamie, I can have people over and I now know where EVERYTHING is. No more searching 4 different rooms. Disclaimer: This is NOT a paid advertisementRebeckah G.9/11/2020I was in desperate need of help when I contacted Terri. I sent her pictures of my disastrous room and she gave me really good ideas on some organizational items to get to prepare for my session.
She was unavailable the exact day and time, but her assistant was amazing. She helped me move my shelves and bed to make more efficient use of my space.
I felt overwhelmed and their process gave a sensible structure and method to tackling it. We went through my items, sorted them, and she helped figure out where put them in places where they were accessible and easy to get to.Jennifer C.6/26/2019
