The Puget Sound Areas’s Relocation Experts

(Residential and Business)

We help home owners and realtors prepare homes to sell for higher prices and fewer days on the market. At the opposite end, we carefully unpack the contents of your new home (or business) and put everything away in an organized fashion.

I’m sure everyone agrees, when you consider the stress scale, moving is right up there at the top whether it is your family you are moving (and all of your much loved possessions) or your business. There are so many details and things to coordinate that it can exasperate even the most patient of people.

With Organize To Order, moving doesn’t have to be such a chore. We can help you with many aspects of your move whether it is across town or out of state.

Our RELOCATION DIVISION offers two helpful services:

1. Preparing Your Home to Sell

We can help you prepare your home so that it shows well and sells with fewer days on the market. This includes far more than de-cluttering and removing unwanted, unused items.

We can coordinate necessary services and reliable vendors for you for the work that requires specialized care. However; our team can take care of the majority of the details for the average home owner and we can do this without significant expense on your part. With help from the relocation experts at Organize To Order, you will be free to manage the intricate details that only you can manage. We can handle the rest.

I know what it takes to showcase a home without spending a lot of money and to present it in its best possible light to prospective buyers. Working together, my husband and I have sold most of our homes without assistance after updating both the home and yard and staging the homes prior to showing them to prospective buyers.

With one Craftsman style home newly built on two acres on the peninsula, we were only able to live in it long enough to design and install the landscaping and window treatments. With inexpensive touches both to the exterior (deck chair, flower boxes, brass kickplate) and to the interior (plants and decorative touches), we showed and sold the home ourselves in spite of a downturn in the economy.

“I highly recommend the incredible team at ORGANIZE TO ORDER. I was having difficulty selling my home where I had lived for many years. I had it listed for many months without a single offer even though it was lakefront property.

Their consultants came in and worked wonders! They reorganized the furniture to make the rooms appear more spacious. They cleaned and reorganized virtually everything in my home, packed up boxes of papers and magazines and made many trips to my storage unit for me.

They also pulled weeds, moved plants, power washed my walkways, planted flower boxes and they even washed my windows.

I sold my house for two weeks later for full price! Needless to say, I was very pleased with this company’s work ethic and I would highly recommend ORGANIZE TO ORDER especially if you have a home to sell.”

We sold one of our homes in Tigard, Oregon literally within one hour of putting the ‘For Sale’ sign out! The new owner, who was the new principal at the local high school, happened to drive by on his way home to Salem, resigned to having to rent because he couldn’t find a home he thought his wife would like. He saw the new sign we had just posted and yelled to us from the car, “I’ll take it!” My husband and I laughed before realizing he was serious. Later, the new owner shared with us that once he noticed the flowers on the front porch, the tidy walk-way and the freshly painted door that matched the planters, he was prepared to buy the home ’sight-unseen’ because of the feeling he got when he looked at the house from the street. Curb appeal is extremely important. You have to get the potential buyers in the door first (usually!) and this is where they will be welcomed by a spacious, well-organized, freshly cleaned and well maintained home that says: This could be your home!

The Process we Follow for Helping You Prepare Your Home for the Market:

We begin with a consultation that can last from one to two hours ($200). I meet with the homeowner and/or realtor and we go from room to room, making note as we go of those inexpensive, yet all important details that can make all the difference between selling your home at the price you hope for and having it sit for days on the market. I would then make recommendations concerning your yard, and the ’curb appeal’ from the front of your home. Some of the work, you may prefer to do yourself. Otherwise, our team of professional organizers can assist with many aspects of ‘home-entry’ improvement to include planter box design, general clean-up of walk-ways, yard and porch. This will save you money. If there is work to be done beyond our scope, we have a referral list of qualified landscaping and home maintenance experts.

We can also help with all aspects of de-cluttering your home and reorganizing the furnishings you already have to make each room appear more spacious and appealing. We have a ’design specialist’ who will work with us as needed for those situations that require extra consideration.

If the windows or gutters need cleaning, I would make arrangements using qualified, trusted companies from our area to do the work. If there are home repairs to be made, I would meet with three different companies; compare bids and present them to you.

I supervise the entire process from beginning to end with your satisfaction fully guaranteed Sold-Boxes .

“Our entire office has been organized from top to bottom. This made our move 100% easier because Kim taught us what we needed to keep and what we could shred or archive with a local company’s safe storage solution. This enabled us to reduce our costs significantly as we had far less to take with us.”

Gary T., Trucking Firm, Bellevue, WA

“Kim and Marilyn were so helpful! They made our move-in so much easier and we had fun putting everything away together. The thoughtfulness they showed was much appreciated and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They were on-time, efficient and helpful beyond what was expected. Best of all, everything they recommended in the way of organizing and even decorating our rooms made good sense. “
