Tami Hills

Being a Professional Organizer and Home Stager can be challenging at times. It's still a fairly "new" industry- even with HGTV's Show's, people still ask "what do you do?" A lot of people don't watch decorating shows so it's my job to get the word out.

Every Professional Organizer/Home Stager is different, different skill level, different personalities, different technic.

What sets me apart from the rest:

• Experience-(officially started nolaclutterbusters in 1995- unofficially I have been an "organizer" ...... my whole life.)
• Longevity- I've seen many other "organizers" come and go- my clients can count on me to assist them in future projects to come. Some of my clients I have had for 10 years, organizing everything down to their underwear drawer.
• Furniture Placement- I don't just "organize" - I space plan your home according to how it "reads" with your things in it.
• Confidentiality- your "clutter secrets" are safe with me. Though I do need to talk about what I do to other clients I never talk specifically by name, to anyone.
• Follow thru- I offer the Full Service, which means, if you are moving, I can Pack up, help you delete the items that aren't necessary in your new home, space plan your new home , and unpack you in the new space. Stress free!
• Artist input- Do you have a piece of furniture that you love but the color just doesn't "fit" in your space- I can paint it!
• Color consultation- Do you feel like you want to kick it up a knotch with your space- paint it!
• Renovations- Need help/suggestions- I can help- Preparation is key. Many of my clients over the years have ask for my assistance, I have done many cosmetic improvements- or helped with the design process. Whether that is choosing paint color, cabinets, closet systems.
• Closet Design- I worked for years with a custom closet company, and through that I learned how to space plan very small spaces and make them very functional. Though I don't offer installation I can help you figure out what company would best fit your needs.
• Wardrobe Consultation- With a degree in Fashion Design, I can help you get your wardrobe to say what you want to say to the world. Are you changing careers, Just entering the job market? I may not be Tim Gunn, but I can still "Make it work!"
• Sense of Humor- This is key, I love what I do, and it shows! I change peoples lives, help them find themselves sometimes in the pile of rubble around them, I don't judge, I just help, through humor. The client can get quite overwhelmed during the "de-cluttering " process- I talk with them and laugh with them making the process more bare-able. I realize it isn't a fun situation and they have been procrastinating it sometimes for years. Last week I de-cluttered a space that had 30 years of clutter and on top of that Katrina mess/construction dust all over it. I managed to clean it up in two 4 hour visits. That client was so moved by the process- she couldn't believe her eyes- she finally had her space back, and can now move forward with her life.
• Speed- I am so fast at what I do. Why? because I do it all the time. What would take you 4 weekends in a row- I could do in a visit or two.
• Transport Donations- I can bring all your deleted items to your favorite charity. No one else does that. I pride myself in being a "green" company and with that whatever can be passed on, instead of going into the landfill- I'll do it.

So there you have it- this is just some of the things that I do to help my clients, improve their homes, which in turn improves their lives. I see change happen with my clients through design and creating a more functional space. A few clients have said that they fired their therapist...I don't know if that is true or not, but it sure is a compliment.

How can suggesting a stager/organizer to my clients, help me a a Realtor?

1. Nolaclutterbusters can prepack the home which eliminates clutter, and in turn makes for a better "show" and photo.
2. Also that makes the home owners move easier, preparing their belongings in advance, and even assist in deleting some of the items that they really don't need in their future home.
3. nolaclutterbusters can take a professional photo, that is de-cluttered and furniture is appropriately placed. Preparing your home for sale is different
4. than living in it.

We all know that the real estate market is competitive, how can you as a Realtor help your client's shine above the rest.

• A Great Photo. This may involve some work, You know what they say "a photo speaks a thousand words". Photo's don't lie-Look familiar?

I too am a Potential Home Buyer, I have been to dozens if not hundreds of Open Houses over the years, and this is what I have seen: Dirty, Cluttery homes, unfinished projects, and differed maintenance.

If the home looks this way at first glance, what does that say about the important stuff?

I realize that moving is stress full but purchasing a home is the biggest investment in our lives, and if the seller wants to make a sale, they need to put their best foot forward and make their home appeal to the broadest audience possible.

As a potential buyer I have spent many hours researching homes on line, what scares me off at first glance, is the photo. Suggesting to your client the option of hiring an Organizer/Stager will decrease their homes time on the market, and possibly increase their profit.

You have 15 seconds to make a first immpression, or you may have lost a potential sale. Whether that be on your website with a photo, or during an open house. It may be uncomforable for you to say to the client, but with 13 years of experience with all sorts of organizational challenges, nolaclutterbusters can help!

Tami Hills has many "tricks up her sleeve" so the potential buyer can see what they are purchasing, which is the house not the contents.

Contrary to what you may think, staging is what you do after you: de-personalize, de-clutter, rearrange furniture. It's the little details that you may over look , or the Realtor is uncomfortable telling you.

Staging is a highly skilled art of creating a beautiful space, regardless of budget and time re straits. There are many levels of staging and Tami can diagnose why your home has been on the market for as long as it has, and prepare your home to show in the best way possible.
