Urban Clarity

AWFUL! I called Amanda and told her I had lived in my apartment for 20 years. It needed serious de-​glutting. I told her I was going away for a few weeks on Sunday and wanted the place nice for my niece, who would be staying there (her boyfriend had kicked her out). I said I needed a truck to haul stuff — I was very clear.
Amanda said her people would be there on Friday. I figured they’d show up and do their thing. I began to prepare by emptying drawers and shelves. My niece was very hurt by her ex and I wanted her to have places to put her stuff. I wanted her to feel at home.
A man and a woman showed up on Friday. Late. They should have been on time. That wasn’t good. The woman walked in and said, «There is no way we can finish this in one day.»
What? I told her we had to. I had already told Amanda I was leaving for a vacation the next day and that my niece was coming. She said she would have to get a truck. I thought we already had one. Everything was a mess.
The people who showed up knew nothing about the job. They were not prepared. They didn’t even show up on time or have the truck.
I called Amanda to find out what was going on. I was extremely frustrated and stressed. I was crying. It was humiliated because I was crying. I asked how this happened.
Amanda told me she wouldn’t talk to me because I was being rude.
I am sure I wasn’t perfect. But rude? I was CRYING. I hired her to help me do an important job. I was clear about what I needed. She bungled every aspect of it. I asked if she knew anyone else who could help on such short notice. She said she didn’t.
Ultimately, I wound up having to do everything myself. It was horrible. Since I thought her people were coming, I had pulled stuff off shelves and from drawers. There were piles everywhere, waiting to go in the truck that was supposed to be there but wasn’t.
I would have been better off if I had never called Amanda.
I needed help creating a welcoming space for my niece — it didn’t happen. Instead I was insulted and Amanda reprimanded me as if I had done something wrong.
I was left with more work, more of a mess, and it was a nightmare. I thought I had been overwhelmed before. Amanda made it worse.

Great service. I work with Dee in house & Amanda does the admin end of things. The co is great & very professional. I’d recommend them wholeheartedly!

Called Amanda late Tuesday. We needed help because my 81 year old Dad suddenly needed to move in – Thursday. We had the room, but it was one of our kid’s old room and it needed to be packed up (in an organized fashion) and readied for new furniture. 21 years of stuff, books, art supplies, etc. seemed daunting and almost impossible. Amanda had Gabrielle show up at 9:00 the next day and with a couple of hours of help from another urban clarity colleague and my son, all was accomplished by 4:15.
Great job. Would use them again in a heart beat.

Amanda and her team were life savers.
I highly recommend them and I will definitely use them in the future.

I have a lot of stuff and I just moved and was encouraged by a friend to use the chance to purge and organize. At first I resisted and then I took her recommendation to use Urban Clarity. They are a game changer. I have never had a home that I look so forward to getting back to and I have never been so proud. They helped me unpack, purge many bags of items, organize where to put things and how to store them, and then decide where to hang my art and helped hang it. Best investment I have ever made. I could not more highly recommend them. Like I said, game changer in terms of quality of life. And the team is a total pleasure and even fun to work with.

It was a pleasure meeting Amanda for consultation regarding her organizing and staging business. I will definitely be using her services in the future and recommending her to my clients.

I was one step away from appearing in an episode of horders when Amanda and her team came to my house. We reclaimed two rooms in my house which were basically a wreck. Amanda effortlessly organized her team to achieve in a day what would have taken me weeks and week to do on my own. Amanda was completely awesome at keeping me focused and moving forward to achieving our goal, I felt as if a great weight was lifted when we were finished and I am looking forward to working with her and her team again very soon. Initially i thought it was expensive but when i saw the results and how much was achieved it was worth every penny. Amanda blends humor, intelligence and natural ability to calming take charge — I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Urban Clarity is awesome! Amanda and Lorraine helped me get organized for a big move and then I called them again to help with organizing and unpacking in the new place. They were extremely helpful, efficient, and also fun to work with. I was amazed with how much we got done… it was like magic!

Amanda and her team are a force of nature!
We first contacted Urban Clarity to help us sift through the contents of my father-in-law’s estate, much of which had «come to live» with us but wasn’t being used. She put us in touch with the right folks to donate and sell all of the unloved pieces!
We were about to move, and had her look at our prior space and our new space. She gave us invaluable insights into downsizing our kitchen, creating systems to minimize clutter, and keep the chaos in check. 15 months later we’ve kept a more streamlined approach to our house and are delighted with her organizational help!

I hired Amanda to help me carve out room for a home office. She was encouraging, energetic, sympathetic and very practical. She timed our session perfectly and I came away with a new space that is working beautifully over a year later.
