What is like working with a professional organizer?

Working with a professional organizer is all about creating a space that works for you—without stress or judgment. A great organizer listens to your needs, asks the right questions, and designs simple, practical systems that fit your daily life. At Organizing-Etc., we customize solutions to match your style and budget, whether you want hands-on help or just a solid plan to tackle things on your own. Most importantly, we respect your space, your privacy, and your goals—so you can enjoy a home that feels effortless and organized.

I’m a little embarrassed about how my space looks. Is this service for me?

We know inviting us into your home or business is a big deal, and we don’t take that lightly. It can feel a little vulnerable, right? But rest assured—there’s zero judgment here. Our goal is to create spaces that make you feel good, without stress, shame, or overwhelm. We’ll get it done with care, kindness, and complete discretion.

How much will home organizing cost?

The cost of a professional organizer depends on factors like location, space size, item quantity, detail level, and timeline. In the Kansas City metro, reputable organizers typically charge $65–$125 per hour. Whether you need an individual or a team, investing in organization saves time, reduces stress, and creates a more functional space. It’s best to schedule a consultation for a personalized estimate.

How much time will the project take?

Every organizing project is unique. A full-home unpack typically takes 3–5 days, while a kitchen/pantry can be done in 1–2 sessions. Office organization may take 6–12 hours without paper sorting or 24+ with it. The timeline depends on decluttering needs, item volume, and project details.

What about buying containers and bins?

You’re never required to buy new organizing products—we can use what you have or incorporate all-new supplies based on your budget and style. Unless you have a strong preference on product type, we bring a variety of products on project day. The best part? We know what works to maximize your space while keeping it beautiful. No matter your budget, we’ll create a solution that fits your vision.

What do I need to do before the home organizer arrives at my house?

You know how you tidy up before the cleaning crew arrives? With organizing, it’s best not to! Seeing your space in its natural state helps us understand what’s working and what’s not. That said, we do recommend having dishes, laundry, and any bulk shopping done before we start. No need to stress about the clutter—just trust the process!

Do I have to be a minimalist to work with an organizer?

Being organized isn’t about getting rid of everything—it’s about creating a stress-free, functional space where you can enjoy what you love. We help you design systems that make daily life easier, all while surrounding you with things that bring you joy.

As for tossing things, we believe a thoughtful purge is important, but we’ll never ask you to part with anything you truly love. The decision to keep or let go is entirely yours, and we’re here to guide and support you every step of the way. No judgment, just a more efficient, joyful home!

Do home organizers clean?

Although some cleaning services in the Kansas City area offer organizing, they don’t have the specialized tools, training, or processes that we do. Our expertise is focused on creating efficient systems that help you stay organized and reduce stress. While we’ll take care of light tasks like dusting shelves, wiping drawers, and vacuuming closets, for a more thorough deep cleaning, we suggest contacting a professional cleaning service directly.

What do we do with donations?

Each organizer can handle up to 1 carload of items per day. While we can’t take large pieces, we can coordinate a donation pickup for items staged in your garage. If you need larger items moved from different floors of your home, we can help arrange another service provider for an additional fee.

Can you unpack my Kansas City home?

If you are moving to a new home in the Kansas City area, there is no need to feel overwhelmed or even touch a single box. Our team of professional organizers will unpack everything including the kitchen, pantry, kids rooms, closets and even the garage. Imagine coming to a new home and never having to unpack a box, search for anything or decide where it belongs. Your new home can be free from clutter and everything in its place right away!
