Organized laundry room office in San Marcos after Ready Set Organize decluttering service — clean and cleared surfaces

A San Marcos Mom Needed to Sell Her Home. She Was Also Grieving.

Her husband passed away 18 months ago. She’s raising her 11-year-old son alone, with a dog and a cat. She needed to sell her 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhouse and downsize before July 1st.

She called us to help her get there.

Some of her husband’s belongings needed sorting. Some would go to his parents. Some would be donated. She knew what was ahead and was ready to do it. She needed people to work alongside her.

Two Days, Four Organizers

Day one: master closet, master bedroom, both bathrooms, laundry room, family room. All done.

She hit a wall toward the end of the day. Going through 18 months of decisions in one afternoon takes a toll. Our team kept things moving without rushing her.

Day two: office, master bathroom, kitchen, garage, downstairs hallway, linen cupboard. Done.

The team’s message when they finished: “We Rocked!! 2 days… 4 organizers… 5 bedroom/4 bath house!!!”

She said she could list the house and feel proud of it. The project ran ahead of schedule, so we banked a full session. We’ll use it to unpack and organize her new home when she moves.
