When I think of the help Keri was to me, all the synonyms for praise and thanks come to mind. I was overwhelmed with 30 years worth of "useful stuff" in my house, and didn't know where to begin. Keri listened to what my needs were, respected where I was with my clutter problems, worked effectively with me, and went way beyond what I would have expected anyone to do. This was a life-altering experience for me. I should have taken before and after pictures. The change is amazing. As I have told (and shown) friends what we accomplished they have been amazed! Now, instead of being overwhelmed with stuff, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Keri and her work. Diane (Reston, VA)
Before I met Keri, I was feeling overwhelmed with the amount of clutter in my home, and was too embarrassed to invite over my friends and family. I wanted to get things organized, but did not know where to start. Keri came in and knew just what to do. She talked to my husband and I, asked about our habits, and what our dream space would look like. She did not make us feel embarrassed or bad about how things looked, but that together we could get things organized and create a beautiful space that we could be proud of. Most importantly, we could have our dream space.
Not only did Keri help us get rid of years of clutter, but we also organized files, moved furniture, and created functional spaces based on our lifestyle. I am so grateful for all the things Keri helped us accomplished and most of all, I am not embarrassed if people stop by unexpectedly. Keri is a gifted person, with a beautiful spirit, who knows how to bring out the best in you and your space. She's awesome at what she does, and I would not hesitate to use her again for my future organizing needs. Gaynelle (Alexandria, VA)
We decided to sell the Arlington Virginia home we'd owned for 22 years and move to the Midwest but given the clutter and years of pack-rat habits, we didn't even know where to start. Keri Scott came in and showed us exactly what we needed to do to make our house more appealing to prospective buyers. She developed a room -by -room plan of what needed to go and what needed to stay. When Larry ended up in the hospital having major surgery as the process started, Keri arrived and helped pack and mark boxes for storage so that we could get the de-cluttering and staging completed to photograph and list. Our home sold in 50 days after listing. The new buyers loved the way everything in the house looked and wanted to copy what we had done. Now that we are in our new home and opening boxes and placing our possessions we can appreciate even more what Keri was able to accomplish. We worked very hard ourselves, but were greatly assisted by Keri who was cheerful, energetic, encouraging and professional. Ellen & Larry (Racine, WI)
Public Speaking:
This is a quick note to tell you how pleased we were with Keri Scott's talk at our Active Retiree group on 1/31.
We had a large, interested crowd who after the talk told me how pleased they were with the information, tips and the manner in which the activity was conducted.
I personally liked her calm manner of speech, her idea of going around the room to ask people what their "clutter" problems were and discussing each one. We all had a good time and I personally felt better knowing that others shared my "plight" of too much clutter. I may indeed call on Keri to help me in my home in the future.
Keri was wonderful to volunteer her time and to travel so far to make this presentation. At the meeting was Ms. Rosenfeld, Adult Programming Director at the JCCNV who hopes that Ms. Scott will speak there in the future.
Again, thank you for sharing Ms. Scott with us - she is a lovely, very professional woman with excellent de-cluttering ideas, and wonderful "people skills". Michele (Coordinator Active Retiree Group)
