“Jackie has great ideas and lots of simple suggestions that have a great impact. She and I can work together and accomplish in 3 hours, a task that would have taken me days to complete on my own, and the end result is always much better than I could have accomplished on my own. As a single parent, finding time to keep after the “stuff” in the house is my biggest problem. Jackie saves me time and reduces the stress of keeping up with that never-ending to-do list.” – H.L., Kensington, MD.
“Do you have boxes of paper or decades of photos stashed away that you simply cannot look at? I did. Jackie makes the organization process informative, painless and guilt free. The beauty of her consultancy is that she does not judge you. She strikes a good balance - advising you on the positive benefits of letting things go and letting you keep what you feel like you need to hang on to. Jackie maps out plans quickly. She helps you get supplies and donate stuff, as well as sends you newsletter tips. And she's very nice to work with.” – A.O., Gaithersburg, MD.
“Jackie transformed my office from cluttered to neat and organized in just a few hours. Now I can find anything I need in seconds and filing is no longer drudgery. What's more, I've saved money because I can put my hands on key documents when I need them so I don't have to recreate work and/or I can get other bids on projects to cut costs. Jackie is so easy to work with and almost makes getting organized fun!” – A.G., Chevy Chase, MD.
“Jackie has provided services to both my household and my business. She plows through the problems and clutter and the results allow for a more efficient work-flow on the business side and a less stressful household. She provides ideas that fit the person that she is working with and really attacks the problem with a team approach. It truly is a pleasure to work with her. Jackie's service results in saving money as well. When everything is organized, we need to go to the store less often and can be more efficient in the workplace. I highly recommend Jackie and Clearing House.” – R.T., Kensington, MD.
“Jackie really knows how to get down to business. She is smart, personable, trustworthy, and really knows her business. I hired Jackie when I was packing to move across country and had an overwhelming amount of organizing, decision making, and packing to do. I didn't want to pack things that I didn't really need anymore, but was feeling stuck. Jackie was great because she helped take the emotion out of those decisions and kept me really practical without making me feel awkward. I think she saved me so much time, effort and hassle. She also was a great help with clearing out my paperwork and helping me decide what I needed to keep and what could be tossed or shredded. I wish I could have packed her along with my stuff so she could help me here. Hire Jackie. You/your business will benefit from her expertise.” – C.M. Kensington, MD
“We hired Jackie to help with our home organization. Her ideas were great, she is patient and helpful and really helped us think of ways to organize that work with how WE do things.” – H.I., Potomac, MD.
“I worked with Jackie to help organize my office. Her advice and helpful suggestions really made a difference in my day-to-day work life. I highly recommend her!” – L.F., Silver Spring, MD.
“I hired Jackie to help me organize my small business home office. I was amazed at how much she was able to accomplish in such a small period of time. I'm also amazed that of the things we were able to do together, they are still organized! Her strategies and ideas were great. When I was contemplating a new file cabinet as well as trying to figure out a way to safeguard valuables, she came up with the genius idea of buying a firesafe file cabinet--it's been great for both organization and peace of mind! I would recommend Jackie in a heartbeat.” – D.B., Bethesda, MD.
“I turned to Jackie when I needed help in completing the last stage of a long term home renovation project. My delay in getting all the boxes unpacked & dealing with over 20 years worth of possessions had reached critical mass as I had closet installers coming to put in new closet systems in just a couple days. I was faced with what seemed like a houseful of boxes containing possessions, junk, clothing, and miscellaneous items of living. It was overwhelming to consider the time and effort required to just clear the space for the installation, let alone actually sort through all the clothing and decide what should be kept. A friend suggested Jackie Kelley’s service as a way to help me quickly get unstuck.
Jackie did a tremendous job as soon as we started working together. She listened carefully to my needs and daily routines, and then surveyed the space and surrounding storage areas. She helped guide me through the process of sorting clothes and other items that held great sentimental memories but really no longer were a part of my present life. Within a day she had turned my bedroom areas into usable spaces that allow me to streamline the time & effort of going about my daily routines.
Over the next several sessions of working together, we went through each of my living areas and maximized my storage into usable organized spaces. I feel like it’s now so much easier to just keep up with the day to day efforts of keeping house. Jackie’s superb organizing skills were indispensable in helping me get back to living and really enjoying the beauty of my home.“ – K.S., Alexandria, VA.
"My home office was in absolute chaos. My paper clips were crammed in a box with irreplaceable photographs, my computer disks were thrown in a drawer and the only files I actually used were for my nails. And I share the space with my teenage daughter. Clearing House came to the rescue! My office is functional, with a place for everything and everything in its place. Most importantly, Jackie taught me how to make the most of the space and to remember to keep things in order. I unequivocally recommend Clearing House. If my daughter and I can be put in order, Clearing House can pull anyone out of chaos." --C.K. Silver Spring, MD
"I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work. The organization of my home office is amazing. My files and maps are easily accessible for the first time and my storage closet is labeled and sorted to perfection. Please don't ever retire or move away!" --L.D. Bethesda, MD
