Sorted Out vs.
Neat Method
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
Were Not a One and Done Service
Compared to Sorted Out, Neat Method is a “one and done” service. They charge by project and then consider the work complete. At Sorted Out we offer continued care. 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 purchasing all new organizational storage and calling it a success. When purchasing a product, we also work with client’s budgets because we know that not all budgets are the same. We recommend products and shopping in stores based on what works best for the client’s dollar, NOT based on retail partners we have contracts with.
We are Certified Professional Organizers
As we looked further into Neat Method we also noticed that the organizers themselves differ drastically from Sorted Out’s professionals. We read in their organizer bios that they have incredible degrees in areas such as Fashion, Apparel Merchandising, English, Public Health Research, and Education…but no certifications through the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD) were mentioned. They also didn’t list any individual memberships in the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). Of course, this doesn’t mean that some of their organizers don’t have certifications, but it would be reassuring as a client to know your organizers were ICD certified. 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 Neat Method, we pair our clients with one organizer (when possible) to work with them in their home. We have a large team of organizers but offer a more personal service by ensuring clients work with an organizer with certifications and expertise that best aligns with their needs.
We Offer Full Services
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, moving & relocation, interior design consultation, seniors and assisted living, ADHD organization, etc.)
Neat Method lists their services as “Home Organizing”, “Moves & Relocations”, and “Virtual Organizing”. That’s it! 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.

The Bottom Line
Hiring a professional organizer is about more than purchasing new canisters with matching labels for your pantry. 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.
