  • I've been wanting to hire and film the process of hiring a professional organizer for a while. As someone who shares a lot of organizational content, I'm sure most of you are equally interested in knowing if it's REALLLLLY worth it to hire someone to do it for you. I always felt like I was hiring someone to do something I could do myself. So, I decided to see. I hired a professional organizer to come and organize my entire kitchen....and this is what happened.

    I hired a professional organizer to help me put my whole house (1250 sq ft) together after move. I had so much stuff coming from my larger house. By the time she was done, I had my sewing room, kitchen, and master closet put together and beautiful. It all cost me $800. I used my own containers and we got rid of a lot of stuff.

    I've hired professional organizers multiple times and it was worth EVERY PENNY to me! I had someone help me declutter my home office and basement storage room. What I valued most was having someone motivating me and being a voice of sanity. "Do you really need 3 of these?" It was especially helpful for decluttering and organizing sentimental stuff - I felt like I needed permission to let things go. Now I feel more confident to give myself that permission, and I've learned from them along the way.

Often, they have a much better perspective or have learned more in an area which I have not. Do I hire a professional when I have plumbing issues beyond what I can fix? Absolutely. Do I hire a professional to paint my walls? Not usually; I have the skill & ability to do that job. Do I hire a professional to fix my vehicle when it breaks down? Yes, I do. Did I hire a professional to require my house when we were fixing it up? No, my husband & I were able to do that ourselves. Did I hire someone to raise my children for me when they were younger? No, I was blessed to stay at home with them & teach them basic life skills & beginning schooling. Do I fault other for hiring childcare? No, that’s their choice.
      All I’m saying is, there are times when hiring a professional is the right call & times when we have the skill & ability to do a job ourselves. Each of those situations will be different for all of us. I’m not going to fault someone for hiring a professional house cleaner, though, if they need it. I don’t call someone out for wanting to hire me to design their webpage. We all have different skills & should use them to help ourselves & others, when needed.

    I hired a team (professional organizer and interior designer) that turned one of our messy rooms into a studio space for me. It's where I keep all of my shoes, handbags, purses, wigs and other hair pieces, and where I film content. It was absolutely worth it for me! They have since re-done my bathroom/makeup area and my craft room, and they are working on our garage next. The process was different for me than for you - they actually come to my house and do the work for me. But the prices haven't been that different from yours, because they know where to find low cost storage items. Absolutely worth it to hire professional organizers! They see things way differently than I ever could have.

    I’ve done this with a decorator and what helped with the cost the most was just choosing cheaper products than what she recommended. So I got the layout and links to products but knew I could get the same thing for a fraction of the cost at tjmaxx or Walmart or target. So I think it’s totally worth it and you can save money by just getting cheaper look a like products !!!

    Wow! Great video. In 2018 I had started a home Oganizational Business, drawing on former Commercial/Residential skills, design skills, 65 moves, and six kids, organization became second nature to me. I was also gifted with savant like "spacial differential" abilities. My rate was $50/ hour and I would make an initial appointment first and take notes, then give an estimate, and write a contract.
    It's important to know your objectives then meet them. My spine was broken in 2019 and It put an end to the fun. I have always thought of organization as a cross between an Art and a Game. But your video and the comments below are really inspiring me to pick up the mantle again. I can tell you this, my clients were thrilled when I was able to find them more space where they didn't think they had any.. And in organizing them quickly and efficiently they were happy often to find things they thought they'd lost and their overall outlook was improved. People hesitate to call on professionals sometimes not just because of money concerns, but because they fear judgement or shaming.
    A Pro will never make you feel bad about your space, instead should be kind and compassionate. Things should never be forced, but rather agreed upon. And if an organizer does their job right their customer should generate residual business for them by word of mouth.

    I so appreciate your common sense, positive attitude and respectful approach. I have many challenges with clutter and it’s been rough for a number of years now. My partner and I live in a relatively small townhouse and we are grateful for being here considering how many people have been struggling in the past 15 years and nearly losing the house ourselves after the crash of 2008. About 10 years ago I did try to take control of the problems with clutter by hiring a professional organizer. She charged around $35 an hour when other people I had looked into were $60 to $150 per hour, which I didn’t feel we could afford. She turned out to be a lovely woman who had a lot of good ideas.
    The problem was that I was not yet at a point where I could work efficiently with her. I would’ve had to have her with me for many hours sorting through things that I just couldn’t do alone, and that would have been a huge expense even with her reasonable rate.
    She did offer us the opportunity to receive an overall plan the way your organizer did. I think at the time I may have made a mistake in thinking I needed help with the details. If I had it to do over again, I would try the plan. But I still learned from her.
    My goal now is really the same: to find a gentle way to begin sorting through things that are quite hard for me to sort through. As I’m watching some of your videos, I am feeling hopeful…
    Many thanks!

    One of my favorite things to do as an organizer is sharing tips on where things should go to make the kitchen have a smooth and easy flow!! I didn't even know people don't draw a kitchen layout---- it's something I've done when we moved into each home. I sit down down to draw a plan and figure out what should go where-- then when we would move, I'd pull out the plan sheet and it made unpacking sooo much easier! We were able to unpack the kitchen the day we moved! Glad you found an organizer to help with your kitchen layout!!!!!

I desperately need a professional organizer every time we move (18 houses in 23 years - yes, you read that right! ) the tough part is the expense that would come with every house. I might get one house organized but the next one is a different story - different amounts AND different sizes of cabinets and shelves, drawers and closets. I've been in my current house 9 months now and my bedroom/bathroom still have boxes in them because I don't know what to do with my stuff. My craft/ sewing room has never been organized, only had an actual room a couple of times. So right now a lot of it is in the garage and jumbled in boxes so I can't find anything. I have linens (table cloths and napkins) that don't have a home and honestly after 23 years I'm tired of trying to make it work, and I'm tired of my house never being "finished" before we move to the next house.
    🤔 Maybe you could come help me organize at this house a bit and then the next house after we move again. 😉 You could help me see things from a different perspective and maybe we could find some ways to make the organizing easier with each move.
    So many people move around these days that surely there's a way to organize with a professional or at least someone better than myself that can help me make the multi-move organization not so overwhelming.
    ❤ I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you and your posts. THANK YOU for all the work you do to post these. 💕

    I hired a professional organizer recommended by a friend to help me organize my clothes closet and armoire and dresser. We worked together virtually over several weeks and it made a huge difference and was worth it. Next I would hire someone for the kitchen.

    I have hired a professional organizer. I absolutely love the services they provided. They didn't just do it for me, but they did it with me, so that i learned and also so that i could stick with the system they set up for me. She was extremely professional and worked extremely hard. Worth the investment, absolutely. And now, unless there's a big life change ahead of me where I'll need to rearrange or make more room in my house, i don't need to keep hiring them!

    I hired a professional organizer for $95 an hour, with a three hour minimum. The only thing I needed her for was paperwork. It took about five hours because I had about six bankers boxes of documents going back years, and a lot of it was very emotional stuff. There’s an organization that certifies professional organizers who deal with people with hoarding problems and she not only organized my things, the way she worked trained me in organizing myself. I have had about one file drawer of paperwork at any one time and I’ve never regretted it.

    I hired an interior decorator once. I live in a small studio and wanted advice on my space. I had ideas but wanted to see what they said. We basically had the same ideas. I'm hoping others are better than she was, it wasn't helpful at all. I'm glad your kitchen is working for you! It seems worth it. Thanks for sharing. 😁💜

    YES! Thank you from another professional organizer. The value we bring to the table saves clients MANY hours of time spent searching for the right products, tons of stress and uncertainty, and just like you said, gives them solutions they wouldn't know about on their own. This stuff is life-changing magic I tell you! Thanks for highlighting what we do and how transformative it can be.

  • @destrygraves
    @destrygraves 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have never paid a professional but in my first apartment I had an awesome neighbor who came over daily and she constantly was moving things and telling me why. She taught me how to use the envelope system for finances and when that didn’t work for me she taught me a different way that worked with my brain. A few years later and two kids later after I had moved to a house she came once a month or so and still did her thing. She was amazing at repurposing things. She moved out of state when my kids were in their early teens. Her way of explaining what and where and why was invaluable. If I had not had her I absolutely would have had to pay someone for every room in the house. My mom was super clean and the house I grew up in had an organizational system that I tried to recreate and it just didn’t work.

    After my kitchen gets done I would love to hire a professional organizer. I too feel I’m pretty good at organizing and probably get in my own way when it comes to organizing. So hiring someone might be a better solution for me. Besides they can tell me what works better for me being a senior citizen, and height challenged. It seems my cabinets are way to tall and a pain to constantly get out the step ladder.
    Thank you Keli for the input. This was very helpful.

    Oh my gosh, that is such a do-able price for a consultation, then what a great idea to choose a space to tackle the purchasing of organizational products project at a time. Although having one whole room of the house that is organized and cleaned, it feels so amazing knowing it is done and functional. Kitchen looks great by the way.

    i had an okay experience with a progressional organizer. she helped me declutter & reset my basement --which was solely a playroom for kids (no tv). she didn't do anything i wouldn't have thought of but the extra set of hands was helpful.
    i wouldn't do it again

    • @username00009
      @username00009 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A playroom seems a lot easier to organize than a new kitchen. $200 for a kitchen organizing map seems well worth it to me, but that’s also because a well-functioning kitchen makes life easier. For a lot of jobs, it’s just nice to have an extra set of hands to make the work go more quickly.

    I have hired professional organizers multiple times. I love the help they are able to offer. Once we hired someone to help us organize two homes worth of items into one home and another time we hired to organize/clean out a parents home who had passed away. It was a task we were not ready to tackle and she was able to put together several bins for us to save and go through when the time is right white at the same time preparing the home to go on the market. I would hire her back in a heartbeat!

I did my entire kitchen, closets and bedroom, bathrooms and laundry. I can’t wait to have her come back and handle my kids and storage rooms. She has experience with hoarders (which my son’s room looks like) and just creates a calming environment. 100% worth it. Unbelievably great experience.
