Frequently Asked Questions

A seasoned organizer starts with your vision and creates order that makes sense for the lifestyle you want to live. They are non-judgemental and want to help develop systems that integrate seamlessly into your daily routine. Professional organizers ask the right questions and approach projects with a listening ear. Each detail–even the unspoken ones–matters.

From a business perspective, the professional organizing company you hire should be bonded and insured, discreet and confidential. They have a deep knowledge of industry standards and achieve functional and beautiful results.

At Jenn Kafer Organizing, we are passionate about creating custom systems that reflect the individual client’s needs and wants (while also embodying all those other pro-organizer must-haves).

Each project is unique. Some are larger, and some are smaller. Some questions to consider:

→ Do you need help with one room or your whole home?

→ How much decluttering is needed before organizing?

→ Is decision-making a long process for you?

→ Is your home larger or smaller?

→ Are you organizing for an individual, a couple, a family, or because of a life transition?

→ What level of detail is needed to meet your vision?

Our discovery call and consultation process will help estimate the hours needed to cover your organizing project. Let’s chat about it!

Your time face-to-face with us varies depending on the scope of your project.

Your time with us is very important during the consultation phase. We’ll set goals and ensure a sound understanding of your priorities and where you struggle the most.

During your sessions you are not required to be on-site when we organize. However, we may need you for decisions on decluttering or re-homing items. We prefer that you are available via text or call during our sessions to ensure the best outcome.

Jenn Kafer Organizing is a full-service professional organizing company based in Tampa, FL. We serve Tampa, South Tampa, and the Greater Tampa Bay area, including St. Petersburg, Brandon, Bloomingdale, Lutz, Odessa, and Westchase.

Our home organizing services are discreet and confidential. We will never share your information or space without your permission. We understand the vulnerability of allowing someone into your private life, and we go to great lengths to maintain your privacy.

Non-disclosure agreements are available upon request.

There is a myth that being organized means being a minimalist. We’ve worked with many clients who come to us with this fear that we will make them toss all their stuff. We’re not here to do that.

While principles of minimalism (owning fewer items, choosing quality over quantity, and intentionality) will assist you in reaching your organizational goals, you won’t need to get rid of all your belongings to get organized.

If one of your goals is to lead a minimalistic or simplified lifestyle, we can help coach you through your journey with organization as a priority along the way!

Jenn Kafer Organizing offers three main services:

→ Home Organization

→ Refresh and Reset

→ Personal Concierge

Think of us as your personal assistant for all things home organization and home management in Tampa, FL. Your time is important; outsourcing home organizing and other personal tasks allows you to spend your time where you want to.

We love helping our clients, so if you need help with a time-sucking (or just not your favorite) task, ask if we can do it!

In an effort to reduce waste and keep items out of landfills, our team removes up to one carload of donations after each session as part of your organizing services.

Additionally, we are partnered with local charities to match donated items to families in need. We will provide you with a charitable donation slip from the organization your items are donated to.

Jenn Kafer Organizing does not sell items for clients but can connect you with local vendors that help.

There are many factors that go into the final cost of hiring a professional organizing service. The size of your space, the number of things in that space, and your organizing goals are considered. The hourly rate for a reputable and experienced home organizing service in the Tampa Bay Area is typically $80-$125+/hr.

Getting organized is an investment in living a better life. In the long run, you save money, reduce stress and clutter, and create a life you love to talk about and a home you love inviting people into.

Let’s chat on a discovery call to see if our services fit your needs and budget.

One of the best things about having a creative and strategic mind of a home organizer is our ability to use the containers and bins you have throughout your newly organized spaces.

If you have a specific look in mind, we’ve got you there too! During your consultation, we’ll get to know you and your preferred style, so we can optimize your space with items you have and supplement it with new products that will make it look beautiful and achieve that aesthetic you’ve been looking for.

We work with your budget to meet your vision and expectations.

Let me give you the rundown on the top 3 areas of the home people want organized:

→ Primary Closet

→ Kitchen Pantry

→ Troublesome storage area

To be the most effective, we typically start with one space (your most troublesome one) to show you how being organized transforms how you live. If you’re like most of our clients, we will be back to work through your entire home.

What spot in your home has you pulling your hair out and biting those nails? Let’s start there.

Drop what you are trying to tidy, sit back, and wait for us to come to you. Seriously, put it down. We do our best work for you when we can see your home as it is. And trust us, we've seen it all.

We need to see how your home functions on a typical day–mess and all–so we can identify your trouble areas and how to reestablish that flow of space.

We are a full-service organizing business. We handle all the details for you with minimal time or energy required. We help make the decision process quick and easy so you can focus on more important tasks. We have a deep knowledge of what products to source and how to optimize the spaces in your home to make flow and function a natural part of your everyday life.
