TESTIMONIALS

Erik helped me organize my basement a few years ago. He was a great help in throwing out all the clutter that had accumulated down there over 12 years. I didn’t want to have to do all that work alone, and because he was there I decided to get rid of more of the clutter than I might have alone. After it was done, it felt like a burden had lifted off my shoulders.  “Erik cuts the clutter like a hot knife cuts through butter!”

"Serenity was pleasant to work with and amenable to my ideas. They didn't pressure me to throw anything out I wanted to keep. And they provided some extra containers I needed for my things.

I also recommend this service because you will find that the whole atmosphere in your home will improve when it is organized. Serenity was quick and very reasonably priced.

Try them!

During and after my move in 2004 Erik has been invaluable to me. He helped me pack up things in my old house, and then in my new house helped me unpack a lot and organize many things in various rooms. Erik also helped me place and hang my large art collection. He is well organized , has good ideas and is very easy to work with. Sincerely,

“Working with Erik is an extraordinary experience.  Regardless of whether he is coordinating my holiday festivities or organizing my basement, he manages to be both driven, efficient and easy going at the same time.  He anticipates my needs, adjusts to my ever changing requirements and is always ready to either do exactly what I request or recommend alternatives that exceed my expectations.  What more can you ask for?”

God Bless My Professional Organizer! I felt so overwhelmed and helpless about the mess in my house. There was clutter everywhere - on every tabletop, in piles on the floor, on every square inch of the kitchen counters. Every weekend I would promise myself that I would clean it up. Usually, I would work on it about ½ - 1 hour, then sit down “to take a little rest.” I would fall asleep and wake up hours later, with my home just as depressingly cluttered and dirty as before. Many friends suggested that I should “hire a cleaning lady,” but when clutter gets beyond a certain point, it is impossible to clean. My house was at that point, and then some. Then a friend told me about Professional Organizer Erik Jaffe, and quite literally changed my life. In the first 4 – hour session, Erik and I got my living room looking like a civilized person lives here! That night, as I leaned back in my recliner and enjoyed looking around, I felt a deep peace in my soul. For the first time in years, I also felt that getting my house in order was a task I could accomplish. Erik is a hard worker and has real expertise. The progress we make at each weekly session inspires me to keep working at the task on my own. With Erik’s help, the overwhelming task has been broken down into manageable pieces. I no longer get bogged down and give up; I actually look forward to weekends for the opportunity to work on my cleanup projects! His fees are reasonable. Each time I write him another check, I truly feel that it is money well spent. My Scottish heritage places frugality next to godliness, so for me to attest that Erik’s services are well worth the cost is really saying something!

Erik Jaffe of Serenity Organizing Service, has done for me what no one else could do – he organized my office without threatening my sense of security that I derived from my disorganization.  Everyone who is disorganized knows that getting organized challenges the mess in your mind as well as the one in front of you.

Erik understands this intuitively. He worked with me so that I could see my desk and credenza tops for the first time in years. And he did this by using his system of keeping like things together – this has made it so much easier for me to find what I need.  And it’s so simple when you think about it – the problem is, we don’t. That’s where Erik comes in.  Plus he’s extraordinarily patient and focused – when I hit the wall after a couple of hours, he just guided me through my resistance.  Add on to this, his uncanny ability of “placing” art (in my case numerous framed awards for my work) in such a way as to make it visually appealing to look at. I highly recommend working with Erik – you will be very pleased with the results – and the fresh air that comes with all your new found space.
