The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Professional Organizer (& Why Imagine Home Organization Is #1)

Choosing a professional organizer is a big decision because you’re trusting someone with your home, routines, and peace of mind. You should consider these important questions when selecting the right organizer for you.

1. Is the Organizer Experienced with Your Type of Project?

Experience matters. Ask if your organizer has handled projects like yours—whether it’s a full-home overhaul, move management, closet design, or seasonal decorating. Imagine Home Organization brings over 10 years of expertise in home organization, move management, packing, unpacking, downsizing, closet design and installation, and holiday decor. No matter your project, we’ve likely done it, a lot.

2. 2. Are They Educated, Trusted and Recognized in the Industry?

Credentials and trust are key. Is the organizer certified from a reputable organization? Are their employees vetted and insured? Our founder, Kirsten Fisher, is a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO) with the National Association of Professional Organizers and has been Marie Kondo trained. Imagine is the exclusive in-home organizer for The Container Store, and Kirsten serves as Vice President of the Tampa Chapter of the Interior Design Society. All Imagine team members are background checked, and we carry full workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Kirsten has been featured on NBC, Wall Street Journal, Today.com, Tampa Bay Times, House Digest, Tampa Magazine, Homes & Gardens, and more. We’re also active in the National Association of Professional Organizers’ Special Interest Group.

3. Do They Work in a Style That Fits Your Needs?

Find out if their approach matches your lifestyle. Do you want to be part of the process in a coaching style or are you more hands off? IHO specializes in serving busy clients who want a done-for-you solution. We simplify decision-making and offer ongoing membership and home management resources to keep your home organized long after the project finishes.

4. Is the Organizer Full Service?

Ask whether your organizer handles every detail or expects you to purchase products, manage donations, or handle trash. Imagine is completely full service. We bring all the supplies, return what isn’t used, take care of all donations and even haul out the trash. There is nothing you need to do.

5. Do They Have the Resources for Projects of Any Size?

Whether you need help with a single space or your entire home, Imagine has a dedicated team of trained, full-time organizers and home managers. Our team approach means we can handle projects of any size, efficiently and on your timeline, no matter how large or complex.

6. What Do Past Clients Say?

Look for testimonials and reviews. Imagine Home Organization is proud of our five-star reviews and repeat client and partner referrals. We want every client to be thrilled with our work.

7. Are Their Solutions Custom-Tailored?

Cookie-cutter isn’t good enough. Every family and home is different and deserves the approach that will work best for their lifestyle. We create custom solutions for every client, handling all shopping and installation so you don’t have to lift a finger.

8. Does the Organizer Make You Feel Comfortable?

Privacy, discretion and trust are essential. Plus, organizing can be fun! We never judge any client’s situation. We know life can feel overwhelming and we’re here to provide support and help. Your trust is our top priority so all sessions are strictly confidential.

9. Do They Offer Ongoing Support?

Organization isn’t a one-time event. Our membership program and home management services help you maintain order and tackle new challenges as they arise.

10. Do They Service Your Area?

It’s important to choose an organizer who works in your city. Imagine Home Organization proudly serves Saint Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota, Riverview, Brandon, Clearwater, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding areas.

Choosing the best professional organizer is about more than just tidying up—it’s about finding a partner who understands your needs and delivers peace of mind. Imagine Home Organization checks every box, making us the trusted choice for luxury home organizing.
