I appreciated how easy Terri was to coordinate with - she even did a FaceTime with me before the session to give me some organization product ideas. Amy was our organizer on the day and she was lovely to work with. She helped us go through our master closet in a very nonjudgmental and straightforward way. She helped us donate almost 3 bags of items. We plan on working with Terri and her team again and would recommend for anyone to hire her for your organizing needs.

After I moved house, I had so many rent-a-crates to unpack and return very quickly. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't move two feet without hitting a box, and unpacking by myself was too slow. I contacted Terri again. Terri couldn't come out to personally help me within my limited window of time, but she has fantastic team members. Kammy came to help me, stayed for just under five hours, and we unpacked every rent-a-crate plus all of the cardboard boxes! There is a little left to do in order to make my new place feel like home, but Kammy's help means that 95% of the work is done. I am so pleased with The Chicago Organizer. Terri and Kammy are kind, professional, quite fair in their pandemic requirements, and most of all -- HELPFUL. Money well spent again!

I've worked with some amazing organizers (and some not) and Clutter Curators are truly efficient and deliver highest quality. They can also work with your vision, adjust on your feedback, and work within your budget (eg no containers, dollar store containers, or fancy Container Store containers). I think what distinguishes them is that they work as a team, and are fast. Come into a given area, pull everything out and categorize, then bring you in for decisions and feedback; you go back to your kids/cleaning/work and come back in another 1-2 times, and voilà! Your space looks like a catalog. It's not only purged and beautified, they have recycled empty boxes and tossed obvious trash, so the space is complete! They don't push you hard to get rid of things. Painless process. They recently did my office and walking in is happiness! We open cabinets without stuff falling on us. My kids don't ask me a million times where something is. We have a system in place so it's been easy to put things away and keep clean. It is a financial investment, but one I feel has big returns. (And also, you won't now waste money on things like buying a 3rd pair of scissors because you can't find the first two.) I've booked them for another 2 appointments because I want my whole house to be as beautiful and functional!

We turned a pantry that had a rice cooker next to the 4 boxes of baking soda into something that doesn't give me constant anxiety. She also helped with kitchen cabinets that had been panic stashed during the move. Kiersten was so professional & had a wealth of sources for me. I'm feeling so much better.

I called on Chaos to Order to help me purge and organize, and I must say that I was so happy that I did. I highly recommend them for your organizing needs. From the initial consultation, the team took the time to understand my needs and specific challenges that I faced in my new home. They provided solutions and helped me to organize things that I loved and to purge the items that were obstructing my headspace and happiness. I was so very pleased and impressed with this company. They were prompt, efficient and showed a true passion and enthusiasm for what they did. I now not only have organization but also the structure and the tools necessary to maintain a clutter-free home! It brings me joy to walk into my newly-organized space and gives me the motivation to maintain it. Thank you, Chaos to Order, for giving me back my peace!

We had high hopes for Dawson Relocation Services after reading all the positive reviews, but it…read moreended in disappointment. I arranged for my elderly parents to hire them to help prepare a move into assisted living in California. Things started well, with an employee making regular visits to help my mother decide on what to pack. We had them start the packing process early, but an assistant that came on the job late packed all of my father's sweaters and winter coats and had them shipped to California (where they are clearly not needed). My father had previously conveyed he didn't want them packed, instead to be left for the estate sale. And a bunch of family photo albums that we labeled to be shipped were not sent in the moving truck. After the estate sale, while the house was being cleaned out, my parents' realtor found these heirlooms left in the house with "to be shipped" tags still on them. She was kind enough to ship them out to California. You would think a company specializing in senior move management would be more clueful and careful in making decisions for seniors who were clearly overwhelmed packing up their home of 50+ years. I would not recommend this company.

They packed what I planned to take with me the day before my scheduled move and unpacked in my new home on moving day. They even put sheets on my bed! Marnie helped me figure out which furniture in my house would fit in my new condo and determined where each piece should go. She did the same with my artwork, which one of her team members hung for me. Marnie arranged for high quality movers and made sure that their certificate of insurance was provided to my new building, where it was required. Marnie was extremely responsive when I had questions, and she was very supportive during times I felt sad about leaving my house of 44 years. I highly recommend Dawson Relocation Services in all respects!

Erin came in and to put me at ease any faster would have been literally impossible. She looked around and asked me what my thoughts were and more importantly, she listened. Erin immediately dug in while gently guiding me and talking to me about her ideas for moving forward. Erin is so gentle but effective in the way she directs that I was shocked at how quickly she got me through some piles that have been sitting for literal years! I asked for homework the last few minutes of our session so I could build on our progress and Erin took me room by room to talk. I agree with the other reviews that mention Erin is an incredible value for her rate and you should book time with her now!

I've hired Erin for the following projects: Organizing a small space Purchasing affordable organizers for a condo Moving and packing for two people Unpacking a kitchen/setup Decluttering a garage You'll be amazed at how much you'll accomplish in 4 hours with Erin! Erin is incredibly trustworthy and has a great disposition. She is non-judgmental, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor.

Erin is quite philanthropic and really helps out in the community. This is super appealing to me. Her empathic approach is welcomed.

And all of it was linked to deep emotions. Lettie was so gentle with my mother in helping her realize what she actually needed and wanted and what was just taking up space. It is hard to let go of a lifetime of memories, but Lettie was incredible at getting Mom to let go of what she didn't need. Put yourself or family member in Lettie's hands. She and her team are efficient, effective and stress free. Decluttering is so emotionally draining. Lettie was able to make that process less fraught and she is so gentle. My mom fought me for years to declutter and now she raves about Lettie and team and how wonderful they were and how great it is to have simplified. Decluttering is stressful and emotional.
