Senior Downsizing

Preparing for the Next Chapter

For many empty-nesters, homes become unintentional storage spaces for their adult children's belongings—from childhood memorabilia to college textbooks and everything in between. Or maybe you are looking to downsize and simplify your space. Our service is designed to help you, always respecting your pace and emotional readiness.

What we offer:

  • We work alongside you to determine what items are cherished keepsakes and what might be ready to find a new home.

  • We help you identify cherished belongings and heirlooms that you wish to pass on to family members. Our team will help organize the belongings to be picked up or delivered to family members.

  • For items that are not kept within the family, we assist in finding charitable organizations that can benefit from donations.

  • Following the sorting and distribution, we assist in reorganizing the remaining items in your home, optimizing your living spaces for your current lifestyle.

    Or if you are moving, we can unpack and create organized systems in your new home focusing on efficiency and functionality.

Benefits to Downsizing

  • Eliminate the burden of storing unwanted items that clutter your home and alleviate the stress of managing and storing excess items that crowd your home and complicate your daily life.

  • Ensure that cherished memories find new homes with those who value them or serve a greater community purpose through donation.

  • Experience the relief and freedom that comes with making thoughtful decisions about possessions that have outlasted their usefulness in your space.

  • Absolutely. We don’t take it lightly that you’re allowing us into your home or business. It can feel pretty exposing, right? Please know that we never judge - we’re here to give you spaces you can feel good about. No shame, no overwhelm, no stress. We’ll get it done for you - and we’ll always lead with kindness (and discretion!).

  • After consultations estimates are presented with a breakdown of how many woman hours we anticipate the project taking. This rate is $75 per hour per organizer. On average:

    • Single Spaces range $900 - $1,800
    • Multiple spaces range $1,800 - $6,700
    • The whole home can range from $6,700 - $10,800 +

    Each organizing session requires a minimum commitment of 2 organizers for a 6-hour day ($900). This ensures that every project receives the comprehensive attention it needs for optimal results.

  • We’ll always work within the budget we discuss with you to purchase any supplies needed for your space(s). Oftentimes we purchase extra products to make sure we have enough to complete the project. But don’t worry - all the shopping, returns or exchanges are taken care of by us. You’ll only be billed for the products once the space has been completed and you’ve given your final approval.

  • Before we get your space Sorted, we’ll give you a clear hourly estimate for your project. This is not guaranteed - each client and space we work with is unique. It all depends on: 

    • How many items we find once work begins

    • How available you are to make decisions during the editing process

    • How efficient you are in making the decisions about what to keep, donate, or toss

    • How many items are being kept and need to be organized

    If your project takes longer than our estimated time, you’ll have the option to hire us for more hours at our usual hourly rate ($75 per hour, per organizer) or complete the project on your own with clear instructions from us.

  • We’ll take care of them! We can take up to 1 carload per organizer, per day. Although we can’t take those large pieces off your hands, we can coordinate a hauling company to pick them up for a separate fee. Easy!

Sorted - Your Questions, Answered

  • So glad we invested in this. Now, everything has a place, it’s easy to find each item we need and cooking/hanging in the kitchen is so joyful. If you can afford this luxury, 100% do it. They are SO great at their jobs and super fun to work with, as well.

  • This is such an amazing service! It goes so far beyond what a single person can do, even if they have all the time to do it. This is basically completely redoing a space to make it functional. I would encourage people to call Sorted before contemplating a house renovation. It’s that effective in changing your space.

  • The team was so professional and went above and beyond what I expected.

    Anne C.

  • We were recommended by a friend and made our entire move in process so much easier. They organized and unpacked our entire kitchen, laundry and playrooms and my girls room and its absolute perfection! A system is in place for each space and we are thriving - dream team to work with!

    Elizabeth K.

  • Incredibly efficient and they have the eye for the aesthetic while being functional! I am so pleased with my organized space!

Less clutter means less stress! When we create intentional spaces, we free up time, energy, and room for what truly matters. It’s not about having more things—it’s about living with what serves you. Make room for calm. 🩷 #Declutte
Clutter isn’t just about stuff—it’s about time. When we let things pile up, we end up spending our precious energy on managing the chaos instead of focusing on what truly matters. Clear the clutter, reclaim your time, and let your s
