TESTIMONIALS
"You have changed my life - I feel like I lost 10 pounds!"
-J.B., Court Reporter
"I just wanted to express my gratitude and tell you want a fantastic job you did on my apartments, both in Sacramento and here in San Jose! When I attended college in Sacramento and got my first apartment, you worked with me around my schedule, helping me to organize my files, school work, and you even helped me pick out furniture. Then when I moved to San Jose straight out of college, you helped me organize my life all over again! You were worth every penny! Your professional attitude and invaluable creative skills will be recommended to all my friends and colleagues! Many thanks."
-L.R., Mortgage Broker
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's great coming home to my clutter-free apartment now after a long day at work. When I walk in the door I have a place for my keys, cell phone, and wallet, and I can easily find them on my way out the door."

HOME
Home is where the heart is, they say. At times, however, it can be where the stress is as well. Your home
should be your sanctuary, a place away from it all -- stress-free. With all the things we have to do just to keep
our lives moving, our home and its functioning state sometimes get pushed to the bottom of the list. Life
happens, and it's going to continue to do so.
Smart Organizing Solutions understands this.
We're here to help
you free up that time and be able to have the stress-free environment you envision.

Closets
Did you know that most people wear only 20% of their clothes 80% of the time? Think about what you have in your closet...still have your high school cheer-leading outfit or those comfortable parachute pants? If this sounds familiar, then it's a pretty good bet that it's time to go through your closet. We can help you with those difficult decisions.
College Bound
Your son/daughter is on his/her way to college. Going to college is a time of change, so the easier the transition the better. This may be the first time they will be fully responsible for keeping track of their papers, schedules, and personal stuff. Why not send them off with organizing basics as well as great storage containers for dorm living? We can help with filing systems (paper and computer) and functional storage systems.
Empty Nesters
Suddenly your home is quieter than usual and more spacious...or is it? This is a great time to determine what items are important to you, purge what isn't, and possibly rearrange furnishings to suit your needs.
Home Office
The accumulation of material, unchecked, in an office results in a space that is cramped with visual clutter -- you can't find things, you're out of storage space, and attempting to pay the bills just zaps your energy. We can provide solutions. Knowing what you have and being able to access it within minutes provides you with a feeling of satisfaction and control over your environment.
Furniture Rearranging
Are you finding that your furniture doesn't seem to fit or that you aren't utilizing the space that you have? As we get comfortable with our surroundings, we often don't see things that need to be changed. We can give you a fresh prospective, take inventory of what you have, and rearrange your current furnishings and accessories to your rooms' best advantage.

HOME STAGING 
Want to get your home ready for sale? Like all sellers you want to get the maximum amount of money and have it on the market for the minimum amount of time. Selling homes is very competitive, and you want your home to have an inviting and spacious feel to prospective buyers. We can help you present your home in the best light by decluttering, redecorating, putting new pictures on the walls, rearranging the furniture and putting other pieces in storage.

Preparation for move/sale
If you are planning on moving or selling your home, it is a great opportunity to go through your things and decide what's coming with you and what you'll no longer need. Moving to an apartment? Well, no need for the lawn mower anymore. Moving to Florida? No need for those wool socks. It saves you time and money to pack only what you want to keep than to pack everything and take the clutter with you. We can help you pack and/or unpack. Having everything in its place and ready to go in your new home eliminates a lot of the stress of moving.
