Professional Organizers in Santa Barbara, California (Santa Barbara County)

Your home is a place to retreat, recoup and re-energize. Not just for you, but for your children, family & friends. Our homes can and should be a peaceful place to welcome you and others....
If you feel a sense of anxiety as you enter your home, or it is anything but peaceful, (more like chaotic, disorganized and overwhelming) then read further. There is hope..
"A Time To Be Organized" is in the business of bringing order to disorder, routine to chaos, and a peace of mind to that overwhelming feeling. Even if it is your entire home, I will add more order to your life through the process of becoming organized. I help my clients save time by giving them a functional space that will help them to be more productive in their day-to-day life (for many it saves money because they are not purchasing duplicate items.) You can finally feel good every time you enter your home and the process takes much less time than you can imagine.

If this sounds appealing, then please give me a call or send a text/email to learn more. You can reach me anytime at 626-394-3544. (text messages are appreciated during the day because I can’t take calls when I’m working with a client.)
I serve the areas of Southern and Northern California.

The Process:
A Time To Be Organized is a hands-on service. This begins with you sharing your concerns (I LISTEN to the needs of my clients.) After this, I will tailor a plan to fit your needs and budget. If you are moving or need an Organizer to assist in the packing or unpacking of your items then please contact me. We can handle your entire move and organize your new residence as well (even if you are moving out-of-state.) I am here to help!

Many people ask if they will be forced to get rid of all their belongings. The simple answer to this question is absolutely not. These are your belongings and I take the trust you place in me very seriously. If I see an excess of a particular item, or we are looking at your plaid pants from 1975, I will coach you through the process of eliminating the excess. Ultimately you must make the decision on whether or not an item will stay or be donated, I am merely here to help you through the decision making process and we are good at it!

Once I am hired and we schedule a day to begin, you will see and feel that the process will move along much quicker than you ever imagined.

After the first day or at the completion of a particular project, this is some of the comments I have received:

" I can't believe we just accomplished this much work. I have looked at this for days, months or even years, and could not move one item.”
Linda B. - Beverly Hills. CA

“Laurie - You have no idea of the deep depression all of this clutter has caused me over the years. I am so thankful for your help and I can tell that you truly love what you do. You found space in places that we never thought of and organized everything! Our home is beautiful and easy to keep up with. I know my family wants to hire you!"
Mark & Claudia Renteria - Santa Monica,CA

This is what has kept me in business for over 16 years....it is all about what I can do for others and their reaction, once I have the area organized.

Your Needs:
Within the first few months of experience I quickly realized that all clients are not the same and cannot be treated as such. I implement unique, custom solutions that will fit your needs, lifestyle and goals. I am skilled at completing small & large projects And many of the items that are used are included in my rates. It is a substantial savings for my clients and I don’t need to send them shopping before I can complete a project.

ADHD or ADD: To the clients who are or feel they may be ADD/ADHD , Bipolar or suffer with an OCD. I would like to share that I am the parent of a child with ADHD and Autism and I truly understand your needs. Many of my clients lead perfectly normal lives at work, but their lives at home are completely disorganized. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have regarding my services. I have a specific way to help you organize your home/space that will help you not only organize it, but more importantly, give you the ability to locate the item(s) when you need them. Many of my ADD/ADHD/Bipolar/Autistic clients are visual, which means that if you place an item away in a cabinet, you will not be able to remember where you placed it. I have a system to help you with this and it works....

Downsizing or Moving?
I will take away the stress involved in your move. I can take care of everything from start to finish. Pre-staging (removing clutter and preparing your home to sell.) Do you need a reputable moving company? Storage locally? Out of State? What if your home sells and the buyers want a quick escrow before your new home is ready...do you have living arrangements? I can assist in the packing. All of your boxes will be color coded and ready for the movers to pick up and deliver right to the rooms they belong to and many more details that will make your move completely stress free!
