Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine pricing for your services?
Great question! I’m glad you asked. I’ll start with an Initial Consultation to assess your space(s) and chat about your vision for the end result. Once I gather the necessary info and develop a tailored plan, I'll send a follow up email with a detailed summary of our meeting, including the hourly rate and a breakdown of everything included in the service(s).
Do I have to clean up my place before our appointment?
The answer is mostly “nope!” The main thing I’d like to emphasize is that my focus is on organizing and sorting, rather than cleaning or housekeeping. I do like to get a genuine feel for how you operate in your home on a daily basis so leave your belongings out as you normally would! I completely understand that having someone go through your stuff can be unsettling, but I want you to know that I'm here to support you. Your comfort is my priority. There's no judgment from me, and I want you to feel at ease throughout the whole process!
What happens if I have to cancel or reschedule an appointment?
I totally understand that life can be unpredictable, and I'm always here to work with you on any changes. To ensure smooth planning and organization, I kindly request a 48-hour notice for any cancellations or rescheduling. This helps me manage my schedule effectively and accommodate other clients. In case a 48-hour notice isn't possible, there is a cancellation charge to cover the planning and preparation invested in the project.
Are you okay with my pets?
Yes, of course! I would be honored to have a lil’ meet-&-greet with your pet besties!
What is the typical timeline for a sorting or decor project?
It truly depends on the scope of the project! Every space functions differently and that’s why an Initial Consultation is required in the beginning. After I get a good look at your spaces that need some love, I will have a better idea of how long a project should take. I do my best to roughly estimate an hourly duration for you.
How hands-on do I need to be during the sorting or design process?
Minimal participation is required on your part! I just ask that you communicate your likes, dislikes, hopes, and dreams for your place. If we are downsizing on any personal items I do ask that you take a moment to go through those things with me as I do not make executive decisions on what to get rid of (unless it is very obviously a piece of garbage.) I try not to give my clients “homework” but if you want some instruction because you’re feeling motivated, just let me know. :)
Ok but do I need to be home while you work your magic?
If you don’t need to purge any items I can definitely do my thing if you need to leave or work! I’m most productive when I’m able to focus without distractions! I LOVE an end of appointment day reveal because here at Sorted, surprises are FUN and not scary— I promise. Be prepared to say, “OMG! Where did you put everything!?” and I’ll show ya!
Where do you source materials, furniture, & decor for your projects?
Many many stores and online shops! My shopping approach takes various factors into account, such as budget, client preference/style, timeline, and product availability, to name a few. I like to personalize every project so I’ll search high and low to make your place feel like it’s a reflection of you!
What areas do you serve and are there travel fees for out-of-area projects?
I sort all around the Seattle Metropolitan area! I’ve also recently expanded my projects outside of the city but I do tack on a mileage fee if you are located 30 minutes from Seattle proper.
Alright, alright, I’m ready to get Sorted. How do I contact you?
