FAQs

How quickly can I get started once I sign up?

After you complete your customer profile form and consultation, we typically begin services within one week. We’ll work with you to confirm a start date that fits your schedule.

What's the difference between Virtual Support and In Home Support?

Virtual Support: Our specialists remotely manage your household tasks via our app—handling scheduling, vendor coordination, order placement, and ongoing behind the scenes support.

In Home Support: A Home Specialist visits your home to provide hands on assistance with tasks such as organization, meal prep, laundry, errands, and deliveries.

How do I schedule onsite visits?

During your consultation, we’ll confirm your preferred days and times for in home visits. We aim to keep a consistent weekly schedule, with flexibility to adjust when needed.

What if I need additional support beyond my plan?

You can upgrade, downgrade, or add hours at any time. Mid cycle changes are typically pro rated. For occasional needs, à la carte services can be added without adjusting your base plan.

Can I customize the services I receive?

Yes. Every household is different, so we tailor services to your needs. During your intake, share your preferences, and we’ll design a plan that works for you.

Who are your Home Specialists?

Our Home Specialists are local professionals with experience in home management, organization, and family support. Each is carefully vetted, background checked, and trained to deliver high quality, discreet service.

Where do you offer services?

We currently serve the Greater Seattle area for in home support. Virtual support is available beyond Washington.

How are onsite hours calculated in monthly plans?

Combo plans include a set number of in home hours each month, which can be applied to any household task. Visits typically last 3–6 hours. If two specialists are scheduled, time is split, for example, a 3 hour visit with two specialists equals 1.5 hours each.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes. You can adjust your plan at any time—upgrade, downgrade, or switch services. Changes are applied immediately, with pro rated adjustments when applicable.

What happens during the Organize My Life Consult?

You’ll meet with a dedicated home organization coach who will walk you through your routines, living spaces, and daily challenges. Together, you’ll identify problem areas, create a clear action plan, and learn how to bring structure and calm into your home and lifestyle.

Do I need to prepare before the consultation?

No major prep is required. We recommend making a quick list of the biggest stress points in your home or routine so your coach can prioritize what matters most to you.

Will I receive a personalized plan?

Yes. After your consultation, you’ll leave with a tailored action plan, system recommendations, and product suggestions for tools or supplies that best fit your needs.

Is this a one-time service or ongoing?

The consultation is a one-time session, but you can book additional coaching or in-home support if you’d like hands-on help implementing the systems we design together.

What kinds of results can I expect?

Clients often experience less daily stress, more efficient routines, and living spaces that stay consistently organized. The goal is to create sustainable systems that save you time and energy, not add more work.

We manage the entire process for you—from sourcing and screening candidates to scheduling interviews, verifying references, and running background checks. You’ll receive only pre-qualified candidates that fit your family’s needs.

How is pricing structured?

Customized to scope, home size, timeline, and service mix. You’ll receive a clear proposal with line item services and any vendor pass through costs.

How are damage claims handled?

Claims for items lost or damaged in transit are filed directly with the moving carrier under your selected valuation. We assist with documentation (photos, inventories, notes) and help you navigate the process.

Hazardous materials transport, major electrical/plumbing work, structural modifications, and appliance hookups beyond standard. We’ll coordinate licensed pros where needed.
