Testimonials

“I’ve watched many of the clutter-busting shows on television and I always thought some sleight of hand was involved. I wasn’t sure that hiring a professional organizer could work for me. But when I got up enough courage to contact Linda, I discovered that I, too, could learn to control the clutter in my life and become an organized person. Linda is exceptionally patient and encouraging and does not have a judgmental bone in her body. She understands the bigger issues that can produce disorganization and she offers many suggestions for facing them.”

“Linda Richards is like an organizing co-pilot that has put me in the captain’s chair for making all final decisions about how my house should be organized. She takes a sensitive approach and didn’t condemn me for my accumulation of things and disorder. Linda has been a wonderful and patient teacher who has made organizing an empowering process for those who feel they have lost control. I whole heartedly recommend Linda Richards to anyone who needs more order, functionality, peace and happiness in his or her home and life.”

I am elated! As a quintessential packrat I could hardly walk into my office before Linda arrived. Now after 8 huge dumpsters of unneeded clutter, 2 filing cabinets and 2 side-tables had been surgically removed from my office, I am a NEW person!

“I was desperate when I contacted Linda. I was just not able to get through the clutter in my home. I was stuck. Linda did more than help me unclutter my home. She taught me how to make sure it stayed uncluttered. In her kind and compassionate way, she stuck with me as I fretted over what to keep and what to get rid of, and taught me how to think differently so that I could do this on my own. Then she helped me three more times-when my mom passed away, then my aunt, then my father. Each time I inherited SO MUCH STUFF. And each time she came and helped me sort through it and restore my home, and my life, back to sanity. THANK YOU LINDA!”

“Thank you so very much for your help today! This was, without doubt, the best money I ever sepnt in my life… (and that includes my gorgeous collection of vinatage cowboy boots and 70s era leather jackets… Not to mention the prodigious, and much loved, collection of political Theory Books).

You have a real gift for what you do… Like those counselors on Hoarders… I am really looking forward to working with you further. We did the bedroom today, which is for me a big problem… But the office… Egad, the work office! I can’t wait…

Also, I don’t know if you take testimonials… But if you do, I would like to testify…”

“I just wanted to let you know that I have been going through this place like bull dozer leaving order behind in its path. Those few hours with you were just what I needed to jump start what was already a deeply ingrained part of my personality but had laid dormant because of all the turmoil, stress, and chaos that has been going on for too many years before and after my divorce.

So thank you for the jump start I needed. I am so glad my girlfriend told me that I deserved to treat myself to your help, and that I agreed with her.”

It was really fun having you come over and help me focus for 3 hours. I loved that! I found I had a lot of energy and I was ready and willing to jump in and work, with you there. I definitely want to work more with you.

I wanted to thank you for your presentation to our group. The group seemed to love the experience. Our front desk staff member indicated that she learned a few things about organization! We love to have you back anytime. As a side note, would it be possible to get an electronic copy of your presentation? Please let me know. Thanks.

Dear Linda, Thanks so much for speaking to our group of ladies about organization for the home ~ Everyone enjoyed learning about basic organizational principles, and how to get started organizing in your own home. Thanks also for allowing us to ask questions, and share ideas ~ We truly appreciated you taking time to talk to us when we know it was a very busy time for you.

“Thanks so much for the ideas you presented to Janet and me for organizing our home. Specifically, I was impressed at the job you made of our ‘antique room’. In two afternoon working sessions you completely emptied the room and found very clever ways to store and organize, and even hide the substantial amount of photos, memorabilia, wall hangings, knickknacks, books, records, all sorts of disparate items. I was surprised how quickly the job was done. Thanks. We are most happy and satisfied with your services. We are grateful for your warm and yet professional personality. We plan to use your services in the future.”

“Linda Richards helped me clarify my ideas about using the space in my large, messy, disorganized craft & storage room. Within a few minutes, she developed a storage plan. At this point, the client has the option of completing the work alone or having Linda do all or part of the work. Due to her vision & tirelessness, the room was finished in a few short hours. I also appreciated her decorating suggestions. She is a miracle worker!”

“The organizing you did in our workroom is amazing! Its increased functionality enables staff to be more productive spending less time searching for items and constantly rearranging items to create space for projects. Please feel free to bring your potential clients to our office so that they can see first hand the way a business workroom should look. I wish you much success in your business’ future!”

“I had to let you know how grateful I am for the way you organized my bonus room. I was not sure at first how anyone could make heads or tails of my “Dream room” that had turned into storage space, but you surpassed all my expectations. You went through boxes, pictures, files, arts and craft supplies and miscellaneous things like you knew what was there all along. And the fact that you are so fast in doing it is unbelievable. The labeling is a big help as even my kids can find things without ransacking drawers. It is such a pleasure to go up and actually use the room for its intended use. I want to thank you for your wonderful talent of organizing life.”

“Working with Linda was pleasant and comfortable! Since I live 2 and 1/2 hrs away from her, she did a consult with me right over the phone. She gave me ideas of how to solve my paper problem, which I thought was mainly an organizational problem. She helped me realize that my two year old stack of “papers” required more time management skills than organization. Her insightful knowledge was obvious during our consultation over the phone.”

Wendy Christensen

“Thank you so much for your valuable input when you came to my house to offer suggestions for my problem areas. Your ideas for our bonus room, children’s computer room, husband’s study and children’s bedrooms have been so helpful. My son couldn’t be happier with the new arrangement in his room. I have put to use your suggestions for organizing the computer area for the kids to study and it is working great. Basically, the space is now turned in to what I had always thought it should be. I guess I just didn’t know the “tricks of the trade” for making it work! We are all a lot happier now.”

“Life is so much easier in so many ways. I no longer run around in circles looking fruitlessly for items I need to do my daily business. I absolutely could not have done it without you.”
