Home decluttering, organizing, downsizing and move help for households in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties.

About

YOU. Organized by Barb is a home organizing studio based in Pinellas County. Barb Proia founded it and has run it since 2018. The team declutters and organizes single rooms or whole homes, gets houses ready to sell, helps with downsizing, and packs and unpacks around a move. They also work with families who are dealing with a hoard. The approach is to build systems around how the household actually lives and to teach clients the habits that keep those systems working.

Work is sold as prepaid packages of 10, 20 or 40 hours, or by the hour with a minimum. The larger packages include a walk-through, a written plan, shopping for products and delivery of donations. Virtual sessions are offered for people who want to do the work themselves with guidance. The company also works with real estate agents and home stagers on listing preparation.
