ous story
I like to say that working as a professional organizer is my third life. After spending 28 years working in domestic and international sales in jet engine maintenance, I decided it was time for a change. I made the brilliant decision to go into residential real estate during the Great Recession.
​
I spent a lot of time decluttering, organizing, and staging my clients’ homes. In many cases, I was someone’s second or third agent. I would tell them “If you don’t get this place together, you’re just helping the other 12 houses on the street sell.”
​​
​It worked out so well, that many said “It’s never looked so good. Now I hate to sell!” I discovered I loved how organizing and productivity coaching transformed people’s lives. So here I am, in my third and best life - bringing calm, peace, and beauty into my clients’ homes.​ Hundreds of homes and over 10,000 hours of experience later, I'm confident we can make you love your home again!
