Happy Clients

Lori C. – Lake Forest “I want to thank you for making our move effortless. As you know, our decision to move and the sale of our house came much quicker than expected. What to do with the years of memories and lots of emotion? Call Organizing Options for an estate sale and clean-out, of course.You and your crew really connected with us not just as a business transaction but as a family. You cared about making us happy, working around our busy schedules and listing to all of our concerns. You really took care of us from the first meeting to the last goodbye to our former home. And the clean up was a dream! We came home to a home perfectly clean and ready for the new owner. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! You have a fan for life!”

Susie H. – Chicago & Jerusalem “We have a mutual admiration society….I just feel that  it’s so important that people know about your kind  of services when they’re having such problems. It’s hard to find people who are so competent, sensitive, understanding, honest and wonderful to work with as you.” Barbara F. – Portland, Oregon “Not only did Organizing Options completely clear out my father’s house in Highland Park in an incredibly short amount of time, but they found personal mementos that I thought were long gone and safely shipped them to me in Oregon.  They were able to do everything I wanted and needed, which was comforting, as I live across the country and was unable to directly supervise.  There was never a need for me to come in – saving me both time and money. They were not only efficient, but trustworthy.”

Anna P. – Burr Ridge

“Having to make a tough decision to downsize and liquidate, due to a death in my family, I knew I would need to find someone who could help me through a difficult time.  Mara, Brett and Brad with Organizing Options of Illinois were there to guide me through the whole process.  From my very first phone call with Mara, I knew I made a good choice to hire them to handle my estate sale.  Mara was able to keep me focused on what was necessary to accomplish my goals in a very timely manner.  Her experience in dealing with issues and feelings that arise during the whole process, for me, was very professional as well as comforting.  After spending one whole day with Mara, Brett and Brad preparing the contents of my home for the sale, I realized how fortunate I was to have found them.  I could not have done it without them.  The estate sale was extremely successful and the return much more than projected.  I am forever grateful.”

Steve K. – New York

“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful and professional job you did with my mother’s house.  Though we paid your very reasonable costs, the work you did was above and beyond what I could have hoped for.  When a loved one dies it is of course very traumatic.  This is all the more so when it is sudden, and the house they were living in was the family home for many decades.  The care you took in selling those items that could be sold, and donating many of the other items to organizations that were important to my family was greatly appreciated.  We felt as though a member of the family was doing all the work that would have been just too emotional for us.”

Peggy R. – Northbrook

“Organizing Options was a tremendous help in moving my 92 year old father out of his condo. Mara came in a very timely manner and got rid of a lot of his belongings very quickly. She is sensitive to everyones needs and was very easy to work with on a daily basis. Her results were great and she is very honest about the value of ones belongings.”

Janet H. – Highland Park

“My sister and I want to thank you for the excellent service you provided us. It was extremely helpful, and unbelievably fast! After we had distributed many of my mothers possessions to family members, we were overwhelmed with what was still left. We weren’t sure if we should hold a garage sale, (too much work), donate the items, (even though we might be giving up some potential income), or just have a junk dealer haul it all away. I can’t tell you how great it was to find your company and have you come out to assess our situation. You provided a perfect solution to our dilemma by carefully going through all the remaining contents and deciding what was worth selling. We were so impressed that only a few days after you took the items, you had sold almost all of them, AND sent us a check. Everything was taken care of so quickly, and with absolutely no effort on our part. After your work was done it was so easy to just donate the remaining items. You made a job that had seemed almost impossible so much easier and actually fun!”

Ben F. – Kenilworth

“I don’t know what I would have done without them. On short notice they ran my house sale, organized a charity pick up for my leftover things, and completely emptied my house so my renters could move in. The best part – I didn’t have to pay anything for their help. They made me money!”

Roger P. – Long Grove

“You all were organized, efficient thoughtful, thorough, and most helpful. It relieved me of a great burden during a very difficult time. What would have taken me (and the friends I drafted to help me) months was accomplished  during a day and a half. Thanks again to you, Brad, and Brett for the wonderful service. I give your firm my highest recommendation.”

Mel W. – Evanston

“The results from our estate sale were gratifying. You are professional and caring; it’s tough to give up things that have sentimental value. Throughout, you were very understanding and it was also fun. We recommend your services.”

Ralph D. – Naperville

“We hired Organizing Options to run our Estate Sale. We realized a nice profit and couldn’t believe that they left our house in better condition than before they came.”

Kathy R. – Trust Administrator, St. Louis, Missouri

“Thank you for taking care of everything the way you did. It made my life much easier. I know clearing out the Des Plaines home was a huge undertaking….you and your team did a fantastic job.”

Jan H. – Flossmoor

“When my mom passed away Organizing Options stepped in to help us get the house ready for sale.  Because they knew what things to donate and sell we had more money to cover the costs of closing her estate.”
