I have interviewed several home organizers. Maribel far surpassed them all. This woman has over 30 years' experience. She is a high energy, outgoing person who truly has a personal mission to help others and see them change. With her help I certainly have experienced this. She has brought me new a new life full of new possibilities. She consistently shows up for work on time and smiling, ready to go! She uses every minute of her time and when she leaves she not only picks up after herself, she picks up the rest of the room so that you are left feeling spacious and peaceful. She has sensible, practical ideas for room design and will counsel you to use what you have and not to buy expensive replacements unless you choose to do so. She knows how to condense your space using every inch of it while making everything easily visible and accessible, and easy to put back in place so you can keep your space looking neat all the time. It is a joy for me now to be able to put things away! She has opened up my small living room that also serves as my art studio, and I so enjoy looking at my "vast open spaces"! I now have room for a convertible sofa in the living room so my daughter can stay overnight with me when she visits, instead of staying at a nearby hotel. My relationship with my children has changed for the better because of this and the whole family is happier. Maribel has cleaned out my 10 x 10 storeroom in two afternoons, made my fronthall closet into a pantry, decorated my front hall, revised my kitchen and done major work on my living room/art studio. She is not afraid to tackle any problem, and can handle heavy lifting and carpentry. She will start a difficult project at the end of the day, just walks right into it and uses all her time. She is always aware that you are the boss. She will meet you on your wavelength and never force you to do anything you do not want to do. She is a holistic, healthy, cheerful person and working to change your space and your life is actually her happy place!! read more

Came across these old pictures of my garage organization project and remembered how nice it was to get thing organized, be able to park my car in the garage, and even just walk around without tripping on stuff! (Couldn't find a before picture, but imagine not being able to walk around, moving boxes, papers spilling out of boxes, bikes laying on top of boxes of snow gear and beach stuff.) read more

Finally able to clean out and organize my storage shed. Booked the three hour session with two people, and I am very satisfied with their assistance. I wasn't sure if it was gonna be worth it at first because it is an investment, but I wouldn't have been able to finish this quickly by myself, and I am happy with the final results! read more

I would leave 10 stars if I could! Maribel and her crew are reliable, creative and highly professional. I hired her in a pinch and continued to hire her for many more services during my move- she was that good. Highly recommend. read more

Maribel was very easy to work with. She did an excellent job in helping me to organize my closet. Now I can see what I have and have easy access to my clothing. It feels great! read more

I can't say enough about how amazing Maribel is and what a blessing she has been in my life! She took on my school office project with confidence and worked with me to help develop my space into an organized and therapeutic space that the students love! (school therapist here). She is so patient, flexible, and smart about how she accommodates your budget and time. She also has a great sense of humor and truly enjoys what she does. She helped me shop as well as decorate and return items. She does it all! Thanks so very much Maribel! read more

I have Maribel on speed dial! I can't sing her praises highly enough! In my most recent move from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom apartment, I was really struggling to organize my life into the smaller space. My counters were covered with stuff I couldn't find a place for, and my closet was overflowing with clothing I couldn't pack into the downsized space. After only a few hours, I was left with an organized apartment: free counter space, a beautifully organized closet (and kitchen, and bathroom, and living room as a bonus), recommendations for additional organization equipment, and clear labels to help me finish sorting things that we had discussed would be moved into new furniture that had not yet been delivered. Maribel also helped me identify junk that I no longer really wanted to hang on to, and even took care of getting rid of it for me. I plan on leaning on Maribel to help organize me in the future, and can't recommend her enough if you have a disorganized space that could use a bit of love. read more

Maribel is talented, fast, and fun to work with! My husband and I retired and sold our home of 32 years, thinking we could downsize to a new manufactured home in a senior park. No problem. Ha! The day we moved into our beautiful new home we were overwhelmed with boxes and boxes and more boxes. We had little room to move. Maribel to the rescue! We had no idea where to start, what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away. Maribel knew. She guided us. She asked questions. She listened to stories behind certain items and why they were precious to us. Together, we three made fast progress. We love our new home and lifestyle. I wish we'd known Maribel before the move. We would not have totally filled that moving van. We would not have paid for months of overflow storage. Her speedy physical help, her guidance, and her inspirations would've saved us time, effort, and a lot of money. We cannot thank Maribel enough. We adore her as a person and value her talent for organizing. She is a godsend. Kathy D. read more

I bought a deal through Amazon deals. It took Maribel about 5 days to call me back from my initial voice mail. Her first available day was almost a month later. Maribel called day before to confirm the time 9-10 am. She finally called at 11:07 and said she was running late without an apology or explanation what so ever. She said it would take her another hour to get to me. I went ahead and cancelled since she was 2-3 hours late and was not customer service oriented. Bad business practices. I went ahead and initiated a refund through Amazon Deals. read more

Good things to those who wait. Maribel and her crew are busy. There's usually a 2-3 week wait for first appointment, but it's worth it. I've now had Maribel at my place for 4 visits and it's transformed my home office, my kitchen and my living room. I recommend 4 hour blocks - as we did one 2 hour appointment and we didn't get as much done. I think 3-4 more appointments and my place will be about 200 percent better than it used to be. I'm quite the packrat. I so needed this help. Thank you Maribel and company. You've made my life a lot neater and cleaner and I never have to buy pens, batteries or flashlights ever again. read more

I worked with Maribel to design closets with the Elfa System. She knows how to translate what you need to the right Elfa design. Most importantly, she make the process with the Container Store seamless and helped with ordering and coordinating the delivery. She and her team did a great job with the installation as well. Very happy with the outcome! I plan to go back to her for my garage project. read more

Couldn't be happier with the results! Maribel is as sweet, wonderful and talented as the other reviews state. I purchased 6 hours (split into two sessions of 3 hrs.) with her -- ok, so I had a lot of rooms that needed help. She was very thoughtful about helping me figure out what to tackle first, etc. In the end, we tackled more than I had ever thought we'd get through. I slowed down a few times during the process, but Maribel never did. She was also very respectful of my boundaries. If I said something needed to stay or wasn't to be touched (hubby's things), she didn't press it. However, she did nicely 'push' me to make progress which I appreciate. Maribel was non-judgmental and completely trustworthy which makes her perfect for what she does. To be fair, she was late both times (once due to a flat tire), but she is worth the wait (I used the wait time to get things done so it was fine). And, she took away a BUNCH of stuff for me which totally made up for it as well. I definitely plan to hire her again to continue with other rooms and would recommend her if you're even thinking about getting help organizing your home. read more

Maribel is fantastic! She helped me after my move. I had so many boxes and so little motivation! But with her help, I got through them all and am finally able to enjoy my new house. Maribel is great at what she does. And because she explains her thought process as we work, I've been able to apply her principles when I'm organizing on my own. She's a great teacher! I only wish I had hired her ten years ago... read more

Maribel started by helping me declutter and pack for moving. The move entailed downsizing big time. Wow! her sense of organizing to downsize was fabulous. She made categories as she and I went through some of the stuff from bedrooms and garage. Then she patiently sat with me as I tossed, donated, and kept items. She has a caring heart and listens to you as you take some time to decide. After moving, she has helped me organize my new place. Having gone from a home to a two-bedroom apartment, I needed her expertise. She knows how to utilize space as well as knowing about containers for the kitchen and bathroom which minimized space. She is a hard worker and very trustworthy. I highly recommend her. read more

I'm a clutter-bug and so unorganized that when I can't find something I have to go out and buy it again! I've got duplicates everywhere! I really needed help and when I saw the ad for Operation Organize Me, Simplify Me, it sounded like the perfect solution! I spoke to Maribel and explained that I needed help to unclutter and organize my mess! I knew I had picked the right person for the job when she didn't run away when I opened my door! Her warm, humorous, and caring nature makes her a natural for this kind of work. She respects your space and offers ideas on how to creatively change storage areas for maximum use. More importantly, she helps you to let go of things you no longer need so that you can enjoy your home once again! Another wonderful benefit of Maribel's service is that she's willing to take away items that need to be disposed of or donated. I don't have a vehicle and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to lift stuff and pack it into my car! Huge help for those of us that have a hard time letting go of stuff too, know what I mean? ;) Maribel has worked for me now for several months helping me go through and downsize 50+ years of collecting stuff. It's a huge project and during this time I have found her to be a hard worker, dependable, punctual, energetic and enormously generous. She's also imaginative, creative and has a very positive attitude ... And she lifts your spirits! I can honestly say that she has lifted a weight off of my shoulders and made coming home pleasant once again. So if clutter is taking over your house and you just can't get organized, call Maribel. She'll fix it and make it all better! read more

Maribel is wonderfully energetic and efficient. I got a Living Social deal and met with her on a Friday and got my can't-see-my-carpet den cleaned up in less than 2.5 hours, with lots of boxes ready to go to storage in preparation for our move. Obviously I could have cleaned on my own, had I had more energy and motivation, but after a year's pile up of stuff after having my first child, I realize now why people go to gym classes and need other more motivated people to get them moving! If she didn't do so well as an organizer (she said she's been doing this 10 years) I could see her being a successful spin class teacher :) Can't wait for my next session with her to clean up my garage! read more

I wanted to say a big thank you to Maribel. She was the only one who return my inquiry for organization quote. I hired her to help me organize my whole house. I bought 24 sessions with her and i could say thats its worth it!!! First session was back in March 2015 to help me organize my house for my sons bday party. she help me to focus and not get overwhelmed. She did the work and just let me relax. Second session was with her helper to clean our garage. I have donated all the things/toys/items that we dont need. Third Session was to clean the toy / bedroom area Fourth Session is to clean out our garage area and the storage Fifth and last session was to clean again our inside house. I was getting overwhelmed but she redirected me again to clean and focus on one area before moving to the next area. Maribel will also give you a motivational words to enlighten you and realized that we are always blessed in all way. she will also give you a TO do List so you wont forget what needs to be done. My husband and I were so Thankful to Maribel. Our house is now clean and all organize. We will definitely purchased a session again with her. She is reliable, understanding and very helpful in any way. You wont regret that you hire her as your organizer. See you again Maribel and will text you soon. missing you already.. read more

AMAZING is what I have to say about Maribel! She truly has a gift. I have gone through several organizing companies and she blows them all out of the water. Yes you may to wait a few days but its worth it! Be patient you wont be disappointed, its a good sign shes busy. Thanks Maribel! You do a phenomenal job just keep doing what your doing! Maribel is one of the sweetest person I have ever met she listens to what you want and transforms your place to fit every need! Thanks Maribel you have changed the feeling I have coming home! read more

Working with Maribel was effortless. She is competent and kind and knows how to organize. Thank you.

Maribel and Operation Organize Me Simplify Me was referred to me by a very satisfied client and when I saw what she did to his place I was amazed. I am on social security so I have limited money so I was reluctant to hire her. I ended up buying one of the packages from Living Social. She was worth every penny! I highly recommend her. I can't believe how much we got done. I am definitely a clutterer (maybe a hoarder). She came yesterday and I have already posted her information on Facebook and sent out emails to friends. She also has referral incentives. I can't wait to have her come back. I could use her for another 4 hours because she is so thorough and helpful with everything. She has been gone less than 24 hours and I just opened up one of my dresser drawers. Beautifully folded. Great work ethic. She was a bit late and called to tell me she was on her way. Thank you!!! My place is totally transformed. My life is totally transformed already. read more
