-How long have you been in business?

-Are you a member of NAPO?

-What is your area of expertise?

-Can you offer references from past clients? 

National Association of Professional Organizers members are professionals who care about client satisfaction as well as sound business practices.

Absolutely! A Professional Organizer can help you with your organizational skills. Once you find an organizer that you like and enjoy working with and are serious about your commitment to get organized, you are on your way.

NAPO members adhere to a Code of Ethics which include integrity, honesty and confidentiality. This high level of trust placed in them by their clients is taken quite seriously by all NAPO organizers. An organizer’s ethical conduct is critical for sustaining their profession

In Find An Organizer, NAPO members list their specialties. Select a few organizers whose specialty you are interested in and discuss your particular situation over the phone or via email. Organizers strive to be candid regarding whether or not they can help you.

That is not a problem. Simply find a Professional Organizer who can act as a consultant rather than conduct a hands-on project.

Professional Organizers set up individualized systems and procedures that are customized for each client. They try to make them simple and easy-to-follow once the project is completed and the client is on his own. Many times clients will need the Professional Organizer to come back for maintenance or additional instruction or simply to attack another area in the home or office. Occasionally clients simply need reassurance and support.

You can anticipate a stress-free, uncluttered, peaceful environment in which to work and live. Most clients feel relieved that they have overcome their organizational challenges. In many instances, productivity increases and tasks are less challenging. Clients feel they have established a relationship with a professional who finally understands their obstacles and challenges which is a freeing feeling. Many clients may acquire skills necessary to maintain an organized life.
