Thankfully, I contacted Marla Ottenstein, the owner of Professional Organizer Florida, to declutter my clients’ home to help prepare it for sale. It would have been a daunting task for me as I am in the business of creating interiors, not deconstructing them. Every area of the home was addressed, from inside the cabinets to closets to display cases. The space is now organized and the owners’ cherished possessions are carefully packed for relocation to their new home. Marla worked nonstop for several days to create a simple, uncomplicated interior which now can be painted and put on the market.

Marla is the best organizer I have ever seen in the business. I highly recommend her to anyone who struggles with making these decisions and feels overwhelmed at the prospect of doing the work themselves.

I had a major roof leak and had to remove an entire built-in wall unit including drywall and insulation immediately. I called Marla at Professional Organizer and she came over within an hour. She pulled everything out of the water damaged wall unit and we needed to review on what was no longer needed and where to place the wanted items. Withing in 4 hours working with her, she tackle four closets removing and reorganizing until everything I wanted to keep had a home. Yes, you must be ready to decide what is no longer needed or never going to use again. Best to donate all items in good condition than filling the landfills.

In addition to helping us organize and declutter our living space, Marla noticed we were having trouble with our iPhones. She took charge and showed us how to maximize storage space there too, by eliminating and/or closing applications we do not use that were draining battery power due to constant roaming. Who knew she had such talents? — Gerard & Arlene

WOW! Is this the right cabinet? Had POF here at our hotel in Palm Springs Ca, and our front desk has never looked better. As a result the front desk operations are more efficient and overall productivity is increased as a result of the reorganization. Thank you Marla!

Marla organized a closet filled with grandchildren's car seats, toys, clothes, etc.
The closet was a chaotic mess. Now we actually know what is in the closet. It is perectly arranged and labeled. We have more space in the closet then we realized.
Marla is very professional. She is prompt, efficient and meticulous. I highly recommend Marla to anyone who wants their home/space to be clutter free and organized.
