Scheduling Services:

> A phone call to Victoria @ 703-237-6826 provides an initial 15 minute FREE discussion of your organizing challenges & what's on your "wishlist."  Most appointments are daytime Monday thru Friday (occasional Saturday sessions available with advance notice), usually booked 2-3 weeks in advance.

> Clutterbucks has a 4 hour per session minimum - including the initial, onsite, face-to-face "Walk & Talk" assessment and planning session.  We tour the space & discuss your particular situation.  We ask questions about home, family, work, hobbies, routines - all those aspects of life that generate "stuff."  That first session will also include a hands-on "jumpstart" on some priority area or project.  You get to check us out and experience some immediate success.

> Supplies:  Once you've booked an organizing session, you do not need to go out & buy a lot of supplies or organizing products.  Initially, we'll bring bags and/or boxes for trash, recycling, donations, etc.  As our efforts continue, we may find supplies or items to repurpose, onsite.

If things are needed, we can provide advice for your purchases.  Or, if Clutterbucks buys items for you, we do not mark up the costs.  You reimburse us at-cost, plus a flat shopping fee.

> Payment is due at the time of service, by check or VISA/MasterCard.  Most professional organizers charge by the hour - so does Clutterbucks, although discounted packages of "Focus & Follow-up" services (prepaid as monthly retainer) are also available.

Your time is valuable; so is ours.  The initial appointment is reserved over the phone with MC/VISA card info and a $200 deposit.  The deposit is applicable to our first session.

Cancellations: Clutterbucks requests 48 hours advance notice (by phone/voicemail) to cancel or reschedule an appointment without forfeiture of that deposit.  Specific information on fees is available from Victoria, Owner/Organizer.

> During the initial session, we'll discuss what it is you want us, Clutterbucks, to do, what you might have the time and aptitude to do independently, vs. what you want us to do together.  Every day is different; every client is different.  We pace the work - and the timing & number of work sessions - based on your goals, the scope of the job, your decision-making ability & budget.
