Decluttering and Organizing ~ Breathe Easier
Whether it's one room or more, we'll tackle the clutter together. Free of distractions, we'll work side by side staying focused, motivated, and on track. And even have a little fun! Part declutter coach, organizer, cheer leader and a compassionate partner, I will listen and respect both your space and style of working - always within a judgement-free zone. The process of purging means you are making a series of decisions over and over. Do I love it, do I need it, why do I need it, does it fit, is it my style, is it truly serving me any longer, why can't I let go, etc. This can be emotionally exhausting and difficult to accomplish by yourself. Working together as a team will accelerate that decision-making process faster and easier. And you always have the final say in what to keep or what to let go!
As we work together, keep in mind that your one-too-many may be someone else's only.
Once the decluttering process is complete, we will then work on organizing what remains to maximize your space and increase efficiencies.
This service includes:
- sorting items to donate, sell, recycle, trash, keep
- delivery and drop of off items to be recycled and/or donated to the appropriate locations such as local donation centers, food pantries, and other non-profit organizations in need
- coordinating any pick-ups of donations as needed
- organizing items that you choose to remain in your space in an efficient manner
In keeping with our philosophy of being kind to the environment, we place a high priority on recycling, re-purposing and donating as much as possible, and do our best to minimize waste so it does not end up in a landfill.
Ongoing Maintenance is critical for keeping the clutter and the resulting feelings of overwhelm at bay.
We offer weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly regularly scheduled sessions to help you maintain your new found sense of order and to keep you organized.
“Patty was a life-saver! During a move, I had been procrastinating the toughest stuff to go through: paperwork, keepsakes, cards, photos. Patty kindly and quickly guided me in tossing the unnecessary! She immediately rolled up her sleeves and got right at it with me. Saved me hours of agony by helping with the decision-making to toss stuff. Here’s just a few words to describe her: effervescent, goal-oriented, efficient, understanding, bold, and funny. As we worked together she gave me great strategies to avoid things from piling up! Thank you so much Patty!! I’m so glad this worked out.” -- Sue B.
"The thought of doing it myself was overwhelming. Patty kept me focused and on track, and more importantly, held me accountable. Couldn't have done it without her." - Carolyn G.
Online Sales Of Your Unwanted Belongings &
Online Auctions/Estate Sales ~ Simplify By Selling Your Stuff
Are you planning on moving or downsizing? If so, you can't always take everything with you, but you know it needs to go.
Are you tasked with clearing out the house of a deceased loved one or settling an estate? If so, this is a daunting task and nobody can do it alone.
Are you staying put in your current home? If so, do you have too much stuff that you no longer need or want that is taking up valuable space in your garage, attic or maybe even every room? You don't need to be planning a move to let Simply Simplify help you lighten your load. Hidden in all that clutter, could very well be thousands of dollars!

This extra income can help defray some of your expensive moving, storage and clean out costs. Why pay thousands of dollars to move it, store it, or have it hauled away, when we can convert your items into cash? After all, one person's clutter is another person's treasure. Whether it's new furniture, old vintage items, household and garden items, tools, unique collectibles, you name it - our buyers are thrilled to discover perfectly good items with lots of life left in them!

"My condo sold very quickly, and I didn't have time to figure out and manage online selling. My realtor recommended Simply Simplify. Patty was fabulous, and has quite a following. I couldn't believe how quickly things disappeared! If you need to get rid of it, Patty's your gal!" - Sherry F.
"Patty is a dependable, honest, professional owner - and well known in the community!" - Denise T.
Virtual Coaching and Organizing
