Sorted Out vs.
Blissfully Organized
We are both Professional Organizers, but we’re biased and think Sorted Out is top notch!

Why Sorted Out is the Best Choice for Professional Organizing
We Offer More Services
Blissfully Organized offers a unique laundry service, but at Sorted Out we offer Home, Business, Elevated Home, and Specialty Organizing services. Then, between those four categories we offer almost 20 individualized services (including decluttering, virtual coaching, productivity workshops, moving & relocation, interior design consultation, seniors and assisted living, ADHD organization, etc.) No job is too big or small for our certified team, and no amount of clutter is too large. We take on all levels of clutter, including all levels of hoarding behavior, which makes Sorted Out noticeably distinct from other companies. Blissfully Organized’s services are limited to residential organization and they offer no business, garage, or crawlspace/attic services. There was no mention of any hoarding behavior experience or service anywhere on their website. They also don’t appear to offer any in-person services outside of their general location in Texas.
Our Pricing Is Better
Compared to Sorted Out, Blissfully Organized offers less, but charges more. They bill clients per session and have higher rates. At Sorted Out we charge based on the time required for all spaces needing assistance as opposed to a “one size fits all” project fee. We understand that working continuously with clients to develop new organizational habits and processes is more important than simply folding clothes neatly, snapping before and after photos, and calling it a success. The fact that Blissfully Organized’s blog doesn’t appear to have been updated since 2020 stood out to us as a red flag that maybe the staged “after” picture is more important to them than truly providing clients with tips/tools/processes to create sustainable solutions and habits.
We Have A Bigger Team Of Professional Organizers
We looked further into Blissfully Organized and noticed that the team of organizers themselves differ drastically from Sorted Out’s professionals. The first notable difference is that they have a far smaller team than Sorted Out. Their company appears to include just two organizers beyond the owner herself. There isn’t necessarily anything bad about having a smaller team, but the experience of their young organizers also speaks volumes. (Blissfully Organized was established in 2011, while Tonia and Sorted Out have now been in business for over 20 years!) Their website states that they adhere to the National Association of Professional Organizer’s code of ethics, but doesn’t list any individual memberships in NAPO or any industry certifications. Of course, this doesn’t mean that their two organizers don’t have certifications, but it would be reassuring as a client to know you were hiring ICD certified organizers. At Sorted Out, we can proudly say that everyone on our team has their Level I Certificate of Study in ADHD, along with their Level I Certificate of Study in Chronic Disorganization. In addition, we have several organizers with certifications in Time Management, organizers that specialize in Life Transitions, and Hoarding Behavior certified organizers. We take pride in the fact that, unlike Blissfully Organized, we have a large and diverse enough team that we can strategically pair our clients with an organizer that will best suit their individual needs.

The Bottom Line
Hiring a professional organizer is about more than switching out the type of closet hanger or offering custom labels. It’s about more than color coding your child’s books on the shelf or having all their games in perfectly curated storage bins. If looking to hire a professional organizer you want to ensure you’re hiring a company that will not simply “cover” the clutter. Seek out a company that will truly listen to your needs and work one-on-one with you to develop new systems to implement in your home. Find a company with certified Productivity experts that can suggest behavior/routine adjustments that will make a daily difference without “necessary” new products to be purchased. Do the research and hire a company that can back up their pretty curated website with industry educated and long trusted professionals.
