Professional Organizer

Some people are just naturally organized and tidy. I think they are born that way. They just naturally keep their rooms, desks, closets, homes, garages, cars, whatever clean and neat. Either that, or they learned the skill at an early age and realized how much easier life is when you can find things!



Others are not so organized. They never quite seem to get it, or they struggle mightily trying.



A growing trend even in today's economy is for more and more naturally organized people to start home businesses as professional organizers.



Professional organizers have total control over whose stuff they organize and what kind of spaces they organize. They can choose to limit themselves to homes or even certain rooms such as kitchens or garages. They can even limit themselves to closets only! Through networking with others in their area, they can make mutual referrals for others who prefer to organize different areas. Everyone wins!

Professional organizers can set their own rates and can choose to charge by the hour or the job. Depending on the economics of the area, the nature of what is being organized, and the experience and reputation of the organizer, rates can range from around $25 per hour to $200 per hour or even more.
