Dawn was fantastic and on-task from the minute she entered my home until she left. After a few questions she knew exactly where to begin. We were preparing to list our home so we would be showing it to prospective buyers and preparing ourselves to move. Sorting through closets: to keep, donate or dispose of an accumulation of a lot of stuff. She boxed things accordingly, labeled and moved to garage. She offered many suggestions and organizing tips, also where to purchase organizing items. I have continued to use her to organize and label files in our home office as well as to sort and pack up the remainder of our house and organize our new house. She even gave me expert staging advice. Dawn has been a life saver for me. I highly recommend her for large or small projects. read more

We interviewed several home organizers before deciding on Dawn to help us unpack, declutter and organize almost immediately after a move. When we met her we were impressed with how down-to-earth she was. We wondered though how one person could get the job down by herself alone and in the short time she estimated. We were going to start with the kitchen and family rooms, but decided the garage was so full of packing boxes we needed to eliminate about half and have the space truly organized. We imagined her (or anyone) in trying to complete this task being wiped out from exhaustion! But she was, as we'd hoped, highly energetic, worked quickly and accomplished the garage mission in 6 hours leaving about 2 hours to begin another area. During her time with us, in addition to helping us assess whether to keep, donate or dispose of items (the scariest part for us), she was understanding and helped us get in the mode to continue making those decisions. She is commendably strong and has a great sense of humor which helped keep us on task. She also is savvy about items and how we might improve the interiors of our various rooms. We think she is cost effective in how much and how quickly she accomplished the work. Others we interviewed wanted multiple people at significantly more cost. Finally, she also helped us organize our donations which amounted to 31 boxes of household items to the Vietnam Vets, a worthy organization. We strongly recommend her! read more

It was important to Dawn at Finely Organized that I was "ready" to let go and "ready" to purge - she would not agree to come to our home unless I was "ready." After coping with a parent with a long-term illness and their subsequent death, Dawn was sensativeve to my emotions - instructing me to take a break, drink water & get nourishment, yet still pushed toward the end goal of ORGANIZATION. I learned so much from Dawn at Finely Organized! We moved last year and took Finely Organized's philosophies into our new home! THANK YOU DAWN!! read more

Finely Organized did in hours what we tried to do for for years. Dawn came out and in two sessions she completely organized 30+ years of family photos. After a short interview to find out who was who, Dawn was able to chronologically organize all our photos in nice looking photo safe boxes with labeled tabs for every year. Thank 's Dawn for saving us time. We now don't have to think about doing this ourselves. Your Awesome! read more

I have worked with Dawn a number of times at my home and office. She really helped me de-clutter and get organized quickly. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and creative. I definitely plan on using her services in the future. Most recently she helped me decorate my new office. I had put this task office for over 18 months. She came in and got it done in less than 2 hours. read more

Our office was mess! We had trouble finding things, deciding what to save, where to save it, our financial records where in disarray....well you get the point. When I heard of Dawn's unique service from a friend I called her. From the get-go her professional and skilled guidance had me ready to sign her up and move ahead. She came out that same week and within 2 days turned our office into a place I hardly recognized. We were so thrilled! It's been about 3 months now and we are dutifully following Dawn's organizational direction and very very happy with the result. Thanks Dawn! read more

Dawn is remarkably gifted at organizing. I honestly wish I could have her in pocket all day to organize not only our home, but my entire life:) It was truly freeing to get her help organizing our garage and home. We custom built our home, from just a raw lot, while selling the home we lived in, and then in our first year in our home landscaped, did a pool, yada yada. By the time we had been in our new home well over a year, as amazing and lovely as it was, it still was unorganized and felt unfinished. With Dawn's skills talent and hard work, our garage was done, and in one day, which is for us, a small miracle! Dawn has now done most of our downstairs and kitchen, and is coming back to finish the rest of the home with me. It's rare to find a service that has such positive impact on your daily quality of life. I will recommend Dawn to anyone looking to do any organizing job! She is so kind and easy to work with, as draining as organizing/going through "things" can be, she made it so much less painful than it's ever been before. read more

I hired Dawn after graduating college. My record keeping for my sons disabilty, personal records, and house had not been purged or organized for a few years. I was overwhelmed just looking at the papers and junk we accumulated. Dawn is extremely gifted and practical. She helped me develop a system that I would be able to maintain and I am much more organized. She is professional, funny, and great to work with! read more

Dawn came to my house and tackled organizing photos and memorabilia that I had just not been able to do on my own. I think the task of organizing family photos and such can be a very emotionally draining process and though my spices are alphabetized and other areas of my life are shipshape, I just found that I really needed help with this particular task. Dawn came in with a very definite process and in a day and a half had things - finely organized! Dawn is incredibly professional and perhaps more important in her line of work, very sensitive. She also has a nice sense of humor! My husband was upstairs working while we were downstairs and at one point he came down and told Dawn that she had a very soothing voice - another plus! However, she doesn't allow her sensitivity to get in the way of keeping her client on track. She clearly wants her clients to find value - organizational and financial - in her work and makes sure that the process proceeds in an efficient manner. She organized my photos by year and did the same with the miscellaneous mementos that had been thrown in boxes waiting for me to finally do something with them. I believe she truly loves helping people and using her gift to bring a measure of peace to people's homes. I won't hesitate to call her again if I'm feeling "stuck" with an organizing project. read more

I worked with Dawn a few years ago when I had my second baby and life was chaotic. Among other things, she organized all our bills and paperwork from a pile of mess to easily accessible bins and to this this day they have remained that way. Last year, when we moved into our new home, once again she came to my rescue. She unpacked the entire kitchen and put things in perfectly set places keeping in mind accessibility and looks. It's truly a joy to work with her. I'm kind of OCD and can attest that this woman does things right. She is super sweet and has actually thought me lifetime organizations skill that I practice all the time. You will not be disappointed with her services. Leila read more

I am so grateful for Dawn's skill at organizing. She kept me on track and moved us forward all day long. Her clarity of process and sensitivity as we sorted and made decisions helped me to complete each area of focus. The next morning I woke up to a space that was free of clutter. I used to wake up to piles of "work to do." Now other people who need clothes and books have them and I have freedom. And that was only one room. The future looks "free" and we will keep working with Dawn to tame our disorganized, cluttered, household. read more

Awesome. I did not think she could tackle the job I had in one day. Dawn assured me she could and she did. It was amazing. I am soooo thankful I found her. Now I can finally enjoy the clothes that I have... and wear them because I can find them. Thank you Dawn for sharing your skills with us... worth every penny. Dawn is amazing. read more

Dawn worked with us on organizing our garage which was full to the ceiling with belongings, sporting equipment and left over construction materials and tools. She is personable, hard-working and expert at converting chaos to zen-like organization. We could not be happier with the outcome of our garage organization. We now know exactly what is in the garage and where it is located and can put our hands on anything we need instantly! We plan to have Dawn back to help us with a few other unruly areas of our house. Thanks Dawn, we could not have done it without you! read more

Excellent services for many reasons. Would recomened for all aspects of business or personal needs!

Do yourself a huge favor and just hire Dawn. That alone could be the entire review but I'll add in some details about my experience with her. But really...you should just stop reading and hire her. I mentioned to a friend and colleague that I was in the process of moving and she told me to hire Dawn. I dismissed her advice of course because I figured, I can pack myself. I'd hired movers to move the boxes and really all I had to do was pack and unpack. My friend asked me to really think about how much time I would have to devote to it and followed up with the most important question - if I didn't have to move, what I decide to just add the process of packing an unpacking (for fun). When I said "no", I decided to hire Dawn and am so glad I did. I hire a professional for so many other things in my life, I don't know why I have never thought to hire a professional to help me organize and move. She was perfectly in tune with my organizing objectives and handled all of the hard work herself. She packed everything up in much quicker time (and in way sturdier a manner) than I would have and all I had to do was give her a "yes" or "no" when she pointed out several things I could "edit" from my siginificant number of personal items. I'm not a pack rat by any means and consider myself a minimalist to a degree so it was nice to see some ways in which even I could improve. My favorite part of the process though was once the movers had all my boxes in the new place. I had some other things to do so I just let Dawn in the house and when I came back 4 hours later, everything was unpacked and neatly organized! Even down to my clothes hanging up in the closet in a manner that helped me find "what to wear" much more easily. She's wonderful at what she does. I'll definitely be hiring her the next time I move (and still email her for organization advice and insight!). I'm looking forward to working with her on future projects! read more

I want to start by saying I would have rather had a root canal than organize my new house. I avoided it for a year, because we moved in quickly and things never really found a good home, and nothing was functional. I called around, and not only did I not feel confident in who I spoke to, but some even wanted a fee to give an estimate. Then I found Dawn. She is so calm, and confident in her skills, and she made me feel so much better about my situation. I actually enjoyed our time together, and learned a lot. She explained how to keep things better organized, and set me up for success so that when she left, it was easy to keep up. She measured spaces that needed extra storage, and took her own time to find those storage items so I didn't have to. She was quick, kept me on track, and kindly kept my well-intended parents out of my way. I appreciated having her in my home, and can't wait to have the rest of my house done with her touch. She truly has a gift, and I'm so glad to have found her. Thanks Dawn! read more

Dawn offers an amazing service of getting your home organized! After our remodel, I had her help me "move" back in the organized way. From my closets, to my kitchen and pantry and now my garage. I am so happy with the results. Dawn keeps you on track, has wonderful suggestions, easy to be with and will not judge you. Well worth the money read more

Dawn was here just 2 hours and I am thrilled with the results. In just one visit she fine-tuned my expense/receipts system, made one key move in my office that made it a lot more efficient, came up with an easy plan to resolve a storage issue in a bedroom that no one else could solve, helped me come up with a plan to declutter my desk and helped me with a task I dreaded (measuring a number of quilts and recording their dimensions). There was a lot of value packed into 2 hours, well worth the money. Plus Dawn is delightful to work with and very respectful of what is important to me. read more

Finely Organized came to my home and took all my pictures (almost 40 years worth) and had them categorized and in order. It's something I've tried over and over to do myself. Dawn is very professional and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks, Dawn!! read more

I met Dawn for the first time nearly 2 years ago at a meetup that session that was focused on home organization tools found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I knew after the hour of hearing Dawn speak, and the way in which she simplified the array of products available that I would love to have her come help me in my home. We focused first on my closets, purging and sorting years of collected clothes, bags, shoes and accessories. Dawn worked fast and efficient, gently nudging but never pressuring, and with her help items found their way to charities, consignment shops or to their well organized location in my home. Most recently I found myself going through a major life change, alone and needing to pack and move my home and all my "stuff" rather quickly. I was overwhelmed, I had no idea how to even start the process and I was completely stuck facing what felt like an impossible task. I knew I needed to call Dawn. The first day that Dawn spent with me not only did she have at least 1/2 the house packed, boxed, and labeled; she had organized donation pickups for items that I was purging, home consignment review and pickup for furniture that was not being moved, quotes from moving companies for the move itself, and an easy to follow list of things for me to accomplish prior to her returning the following week. I finally felt like I was moving in the right direction and that it was actually going to be possible to get everything accomplished. When Dawn returned, she tackled the rest of the house and the garage and I was set for moving day. Dawn then came to the new house and proceeded to quickly unpack boxes organizing my pantry and kitchen and helping with furniture and decor placement. She next helped me tackle the garage and soon we will do the closets. Dawn is an amazing woman with a heart of gold. She is passionate about what she does, brilliant at it, goes above and beyond, and truly cares about her clients. I was paralyzed by this move and I'm not sure I ever would have survived it without all of Dawn's help. I simply cannot say enough about her as both a person and a professional...she is amazing! read more

I was living in clutter and disorganized chaos and had tried many times to work on it myself, very unsuccessfully. I selected Dawn based on other reviews I read and I am so thankful I picked her! She was so professional, efficient but also so kind and caring. Over two days she helped me go through all of my possessions and purge and organize my house. I really struggle with letting things go but she helped me to understand the things I should keep vs the lies I had told myself about needing to keep things out of guilt or unnecessary sentimental attachment. She was very thoughtful of my feelings during the process while also challenging me to grow because if nothing changes, nothing changes. She allowed me to ultimately decide what stayed and what went and then she organized everything. My house is so organized, I know where everything is and I am no longer drowning in clutter and chaos. What I had worked for years to achieve took Dawn 2 days and I am forever grateful for the experience. Call her, it will change your life! She is amazing! read more

Dawn is gifted. She is calm and very proficient in organizing chaos into a workable system for people who are exasperated from moving, or just letting things pile up. My children now have a beautiful and practical play space, as well as an organized school room. Dawn was able, in one day's time, to organize two garages! We are parking in our garage for the first time in two years. I wish I had more projects to hire her for, I thoroughly enjoyed her company! read more

We recently moved into a home and were surrounded by moving boxes. The same week we moved in, I fell and significantly sprained an ankle - bringing our unpacking process to a halt. I sent an email inquiry on a Sunday asking for information and availability for Finely Organized to help unpack and organize the main areas of our home. Dawn responded within a couple hours and was able to come out the very next day to get started. She spent two full days at our home and unpacked 90% of the boxes in all areas of the house - fully organizing our kitchen/pantry/dining area and part of a living area as well. Her organizing expertise was outstanding and she worked very quickly. After the work was completed, she also followed up with an email of product recommendations to help with further organization (and links where I could purchase them) as well as charities that offer donation pick-up and other related items we had discussed. I would HIGHLY recommend Dawn. I will hire her again and she is worth every penny! read more
