I was going on medical from my job and I knew that if I was at home all day I would think of all the things I could be doing instead of resting. So before the procedure I decided to find a personal organizer. I just so happen to come across this company. I read some good reviews and decided to give it a try. I contacted the company and Terri (owner) got back to me right away. I sent her a few pictures of what I wanted organized and she set me up with an appointment. I had so much work that needed to be done I had them come out two times. The first time Terri and Renee help to organize the living room and kitchen! They were so efficient and I was with them every step of the way. They would ask me questions about what to keep, throw away or donate. When we were done I felt so good! The second time they came back Terri and Alice organized the office/second room/closet/linen closet and pantry. They left me with tips on how to stay organized. We it come time for my procedure I was not bothered by the state of my disorganization. Terri and her time did an amazing job. I recommend using this company. They are professional, helpful and friendly and I would use them again!!

Terri delivered a life changing service in every way! I feel like the weight of the world (unorganized chaos and clutter) is now gone and I have been carrying it for years. I now have the emotional mental and emotional energy to take on life in a way I haven't before. The return on my time and investment was extraordinary. What impressed me most with how hard she hustles, she wouldn't let a single minute go to waste. Also, she invested in enabling me through education, tips and tricks to continue a life of de-clutter. She doesn't keep her secrets to herself and truly cares about your long term success. Also, she is very eco friendly and encouraged me to donate/recycle wherever possible.

Awesome! Two organizers, Trisha and Charlene, arrived right on time, and we worked methodically through all the random stuff for 4 hours. They consolidated things that needed to be stored and labelled and shelved everything. In the end, they hauled away two full SUVs worth of stuff to the charity shop. I feel so much less stressed, like a weight has been lifted.

After living in the same 2 bedroom Chicago condo for 32 years and being, shall we say, reluctant to part with possessions, I was intimidated by the thought of packing up to move to Portland OR. Terri, often with a team member, were outstanding! They did the overwhelming majority of all the packing, including heavy items, but, remarkably, with a strong focus on organization. Each box was filled with like items even when they had been rather scattered about and then each box was clearly labeled with its contents. Terri appropriately convinced me that some possessions really were not to be kept. She has a commitment to recycling and items went to a second hand non-profit store, a food pantry, electronic goods recyclers, etc. She even arranged for a computer expert to erase the hard drives on several old computers before sending them out. Her punctuality was always meticulous and her work ethic superb. Even though the arrangement was that she be paid by the hour, she always worked as fast and efficiently as possible. Interestingly, the long distance movers deformed, crushed or gouged virtually all the boxes that they had packed, but not those packed by Terri.

Our daughter decided to return to school in Chicago and moved to a small downtown apartment. She had a lot of possessions, having not thrown anything away for years.  Terri helped her move in and unpack. The number of boxes and packing material was unbelievable.  She then came back a few days later to finalize her downsizing and got her things to several consignment shops and donated much more. It saved me a trip to Chicago and I didn't have to do any work! I had dreaded having to go through the entire process. She was efficient and very helpful.

had a very complicated move earlier this year, and
contacted Terri and her team to assist me.
I was living out of town and had to move out of my Chicago condo. 35 years of household goods is a lot to
disperse of in four days. Some of my stuff was going to storage, some was
donations, and some needed to be packed for shipping out of state.
Terri and her team took care of everything. The vendors she used all arrived on time,
were professional and courteous, and seemed to genuinely care about their work. Her own team of packers was terrific. While I was running errands, they packed up
my 1800 square feet in two days. When
she saw that they were ahead of schedule, she released one of the packers to
another assignment thus reducing my total cost.
I did not have one complaint about her vendors or her own staff – all A+.
On time, quality work, and reasonable prices – what more
could you ask for.
I highly recommend and would use her again if I had a need
in the Chicago area.

I had a storage room with 25 years of stuff that needed to be cleared out. It included a number of large items, such as furniture and old televisions, which required extra muscle to move. How did I get everything out of the room, sorted, and then removed? How did I figure out which stuff to throw away and which stuff could be donated?
Terri was the perfect choice for this project! She had great strategies to efficiently remove items from the room and sort them as and quot;trashand quot;, and quot;donateand quot; or and quot;keepand quot;. She arranged for extra help when the time came to move the bigger items. And best of all, she coordinated a pickup of all the donation items that same day. She even went the extra mile to arrange for the special recycling items - old paint, broken TVs and other electronics - to be taken to the City recycling center at Goose Island that afternoon, one of the few times they are open during the week.
With Terri's help and know-how, a project that I kept putting off because it seemed too overwhelming was finished in less than 1 day. I can highly recommend Terri's services.

Today, Terri and I spent three hours sorting to creating a filing system for important personal and business documents.
We work both together together and indepently in the house. The time passes by quicky/. If you need somebody to give a kick start to a project, Terri wil get this accomplished. She started working with me over a year ago. on a number of projects. both professional and personal. She helped me organize and declutter. Terri brings enthusiasm and energy to her work. She sets up systems for organization of your papers and clutter in your home and office. She is very detailed oriented and precise, Terri has helped create a meaning to a filing system that you'll use again and again on your own. On a typical day, Terri comes in with her water bottle, markers and file folders and we both start working. The synergy is good between us showing that she is the motivIng force causing the client to focus and give attention to detail. I strongly recommend her for any project.

I came upon Terri's website one evening after doing a search for and quot;reasonably priced organizers in Chicago.and quot; Her company popped up, and every review I read was enthusiastically favorable. Even though I wasn't planning on acting quickly, I contacted her. Terri had an opening just a few days later, and the rest is history.
When Terri arrived she made a space for the different types of items in my home office. I happen to have a long hallway, so, items were placed along the wall. It worked well. Then it was sort, categorize, and send items to their temporary homes. It really made a lot of sense and was amazingly easy for me. When I got tired of putting items in their place, she was my runner. Don't know where she gets her energy, but she's got it.
Terri is very pleasant and accepting. We will definitely work together again in the near future. I recommend her with unequivocally.

We were able to reorganize my entire very large kitchen in just a few hours. Terri made the job such a pleasant experience. She is returning tomorrow to help with my home office and master bath and closet.

Terry came to help my wife reorganize our home in order to prepare for our first child. We needed to move our office to share space with our guest room so that we could make room for a nursery.

Terry was extremely responsive and flexible when we had to reschedule our appointment with her and then arrived promptly.

She got right to work, wasting no time. She quickly assessed what we had and grasped my wife's description of her vision of how the space would be used. She then guided us through sorting through our belongings, helping us to put things where they belonged or organizing things could not be addressed at that moment (i.e. things for which we did not have suitable storage containers).

She was never pushy and was sensitive to the nostalgic nature of some of our belongings. She also had a number of good suggestions for places

Terri meet me at my storage facility and we sorted, opened boxes that have not been opened in a year and half. Many of the items where donated and the rest went home we me, by 4 pm I closed the account and I am happy to report that nothing is in lock up. This was a job that I knew that I could not have done it alone, Terri was the perfect person for this job, it was hard work and she was up to the task. I would use Terri again.

Terri Albert is more than just an organizer. She has a real vision, and and an understanding of how better organization can help bring focus and clarity to one's life. Before she showed up I had made a few half-hearted attempts to straighten out the basement and cull through my voluminous accumulation of stuff. No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't happen. After Teri came on board and showed me how to think about organization, something changed, and with her help (and about 3 weeks of work) I have finally gotten to a place I had dreamed about for years. Now I know where all the important stuff is, and the unimportant stuff is all gone.

The job went off without a hitch. Everything went smoothly and Terri is environmentally conscious and has resources to help you with donations or moving.
