How do I get started?

6

Getting started is easy! Reach out via email at getsorted@sortandsettle.net or fill out our contact form and we will set up a quick call to learn more about your space and goals. From there we will put together a customized plan just for you.


Every project is unique! A single room or targeted space can often be completed in one 4–8 hour session. Larger projects - such as whole-home organizing, move management, or estate cleanouts - may require multiple sessions spread over several days.

After an initial assessment of your space and goals, we will provide a realistic estimate of the time and scope involved so there are no surprises.

How long does a session take?


Do you charge a minimum for sessions?

8

Yes - we have a 4-hour onsite minimum per session. Any time spent on project management (sourcing products, dropping off donations, vendor coordination, and more) is billed at the same hourly rate.

A 50% deposit is required to hold your dates, with the balance invoiced at the end of each session. Please reach out for a personalized quote!


Do I need to prepare anything before my session?

9

No prep needed - we want to see your space exactly as you live in it! You do not need to pre-sort, clean, or organize anything before we arrive. The only thing we ask is that you have a few trash bags and donation bags on hand. We will take care of everything else!
