A quick pause before setting out on your mission of hiring a professional may bring clarity to your decision.

First consider WHY you are looking for an organizer.

Did you recently move?

Has a life transition put you behind on taking care of those tasks?

Have you been scrolling Instagram and now you want a beautiful closet and pantry of your own?

While any one of these are a great reason, get clarity on your reason.

Some clients need their space to be beautiful so that it is inspiring to maintain.

Others just need a clean house that is functional so that there is a sense of flow in the home.

Once you know your "WHY" here are some things to look for on their google pages or websites...

What training or certifications and experience do the organizers have?

When hiring a professional, be sure that they have some credentials to go with their offer. One to look for is NAPO: National Association of Productivity and Organizing.

Check if they are insured and bonded as well as what experience, training and certifications they have before you decide to hire.

If you are looking for help with a home office you may want to consider hiring a home organizer with extensive expertise in digital organizing and filing systems.

Check for reviews as well!

What services do professional organizers offer?

If you are looking to unpack a space quickly, you may want a company that has a team so that the new house can be unpacked and settled in just a few days.

If downsizing is your why, a one-on-one service with a home organizer may be a better fit.

Cleaning services sometimes offer organizing, however, the services offered by home organizers look very different than a quick tidy/pick up.

What organizing style is presented on their media?

While most all sites will have stock photos, request some pictures of actual in home services such as an office or garage to see their style before deciding to hire.

Can you request a quote?

Check if the organizer charges by the hour for their services. Are there related cost factors to include? Shopping, product, installation, donation drop off etc...

It is standard practice for home organizers to charge by the hour as opposed to quoting a price for the whole house or job.

Clients often want to know how much a specific room will cost however prices depend on the actual project. That isn't common proactive due to the variables of each project.

Professional organizers with experience will, however, be able to give an idea based on experience for the time required.

What is the availability for their home organization services?

When looking to get organized, consider your timeline when planning the budget and scope of the project. Some organizers book out weeks or more in advance.

Things are often changing too, so you never know when a spot could open up and you can be next to get organized!
