💸 How Hiring a Professional Organizer Can Actually Save You Money (and Time & Energy Too)

Hiring a professional organizer might sound like a luxury—but in many situations, it’s actually a smart investment. Whether you're planning a move, downsizing, or dealing with chronic disorganization, a professional organizer can help you save money, time, and energy.

As a professional organizer in Prince George, BC, I specialize in helping seniors, families, and individuals who feel overwhelmed by clutter, decisions, or major life changes. Here’s how working with someone like me can make a real difference to your bottom line.

1. Claim a Tax Credit When You Move

If you're moving for work or full-time post-secondary education, you may be eligible to claim moving expenses on your Canadian income tax—and that can include services from a professional organizer.

When I help with:

• Packing and unpacking

• Coordinating a senior move

• Managing logistics

• Planning your space or downsizing

…these may qualify as eligible expenses under your moving costs.

🧾 Keep your receipts and speak with your tax preparer to see if your move qualifies.

2. Avoid Duplicate Purchases

When your space is disorganized, it’s easy to forget what you already own—leading to buying the same things over and over.

Organizing helps you:

• See what you already have

• Set up systems that make things easy to find

• Stop wasting money on doubles and triples

This is especially helpful for clients with ADHD or executive function challenges.

3. Cut Down (or Eliminate) Storage Unit Costs

Monthly storage unit fees can add up quickly—and often people are paying to store items they don’t even need or want.

Organizing support helps you:

• Make confident decisions about what to keep

• Let go of what’s no longer serving you

• Fit comfortably into the space you already have

That can mean no more storage bills.

4. Make Money by Selling What You Let Go Of

Decluttering often reveals items you don’t use—but that still hold value. I can help you:

• Identify what’s worth selling

• Recommend local consignment shops or online options

• Save time by focusing your energy where it counts

For some clients, this results in hundreds of dollars back in their pockets.

5. Save Time, Save Energy

Time is a valuable resource—especially if you're dealing with overwhelm, a tight deadline, or chronic disorganization. I bring structure, clarity, and momentum so you can move forward without spinning your wheels.

This means:

• Less time lost to indecision or distraction

• More energy for the things that matter

• A faster path to your goals

6. Reduce Your Moving Costs

The more you bring, the more you pay—especially if you’re using a moving company. I help clients:

• Declutter before packing

• Organize what’s left so it’s easier to unpack

• Only move what truly matters

This leads to lower costs for packing, moving, and unpacking—and less stress all around.

7. Create a Home That Works—Without Upsizing

Sometimes people feel like they need a bigger space, but what they really need is a better system. I help clients:

• Reclaim under-used areas like spare rooms, basements, or garages

• Maximize existing storage

• Design systems that suit their unique lifestyle or cognitive needs

You might realize you don’t need to move or renovate after all.
