A Client Testimonial
A Client Testimonial
Do you wonder what it’s like to work with an organizer? We often get testimonials from clients who express how we have helped them live a more organized life. Here is a recent testimonial from a large job (our specialty!) that we were able to complete in record time.
What we worked on…
- Home Office/Paperwork
- Closets/Bedroom
- Kitchen/Pantry
- Living/Dining Rooms
One of the benefits of working with an organizing team is that we can create calm and simplicity in multiple spaces at the same time.
Before working with us…
Before working with my Basic Organization organizer, we had to make decisions on my recently deceased Dad’s place and all of his belongings. My brother and I did not have the time or ability to sort through all of his things. So we decided to call an organizer. After interviewing a few people, Janet won my heart!
Working with my organizer was especially helpful because…
Working with my organizer was especially helpful because we had to come from out of town to work on my Dad’s place, which was becoming extremely costly. Janet and her team did an amazing MIRACULOUS JOB of organizing my Dad’s condo. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, closets, and living room, FULL of junk. They touched every piece and amazingly finished in record time. We asked for it all to be done in one day. They were done by 3 pm! I was expecting 9 pm. Amazing! I want to tell the world about these ladies because they saved us the emotion of going through our deceased Dad’s belongings, and the thousands of dollars it would take to travel back and forth to do it all ourselves. AND Janet offered to sell our valuables (for FUN!) on Craigslist, recommended a junk company to haul it all away, and helped us with recommendations for contractors.
Now that we have finished…
Now that we have finished, we can take a deep breath and relax and move on to the next stage of dealing with my Dad’s property. If we had not contacted Basic Organization, we would still be in a mound of junk spending even more money. By the way, with Janet’s help, we were able to get over $400 back from things sold from the ad Janet placed for us.
I would recommend Janet and Basic Organization as the FIRST choice for any and all of your organizing needs. Share on XWant to read another client testimonial from Basic Organization? Visit our google review page.

Love the video! It added a visual element to the words without sacrificing the privacy of your clients. Great job! I also learned more about you and how your team works.
Thanks Janet. Actually, this client’s photos were not very good, so I’m happy you liked the visuals in the video.
Fabulous testimonial. That family was lucky to have you on their side.
THanks Diane.
What a wonderful testimonial from your client! Knowing how you helped your client during this incredibly challenging time warmed my heart. Helping our clients navigate complex situations is at the core of what we do. It sounds like you and your team exceeded their expectations.
Thanks Linda. This job was a great success and we enjoyed helping the client.
Great to know what you and your team are doing is truly impacting and easing the burden of peoples’ lives. As a professional, I’m wondering how you got feedback from your client as you reviewed her Dad’s items. Did she FT in to review? Give you permission to get rid of everything? Just wondering… this is the tricky part about working for clients who are not on site.
I met with the client for about an hour when they were in town. When they are not going to be on-site I ask a lot more questions at the assessment. They were pretty clear about what they wanted. They asked us to put aside any photos and certain paperwork for them but that was about it. I always get a phone number where we can text questions or photos as we are working because something always comes up and it helps to get a quick answer to our question.
In the last few years, we have worked with the client off-site a lot more than in the past. I try to ask more clarifying questions at the assessment when that happens.
I love the testimonials. It shows a unique way that Professional Organizers can help people. Thanks.
Thanks Sabrina.
Mazel tov on the great testimonial and on delivering such excellent service to the clients that the appreciation just leaps off the page. This testimonial really validates the importance of how professional organizers aren’t just touching things, but touching the hearts of people. And I’m not sure how large your team was, but it is amazing you tackled the entire condo in under a day! I echo Seana’s question about how you and the client arranged for all the decisions that needed to be made in order to guide your team’s work.
Great job!
What a lovely compliment.
I asked many more questions at the assessment if the client is not going to be on site while we are working. They were there for the assessment and clear about what they wanted. But we also keep in touch by text when working if we have questions.
