Today we’d like to introduce you to Mary Joy Pagsaligan.
Mary, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Organizing with Joy is founded out of my love of transforming a cluttered room into an organized and functional space. During the pandemic, I binge-watched Get Organized with The Home Edit on Netflix, and it inspired me with the way they changed the lives of families they helped. Seeing those families in tears and filled with joy when they saw their new space was beautiful and uplifting. I love helping people, and the instant I had the idea, I knew this was the way I can help families live a better and more functional life. I immediately started researching how to become a Professional Organizer. I soon enrolled and completed my Professional Organizing Certificate at International Association of Professions Career College and Professional Organizing Degree at Organizing U.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I have been in the organizing business for 1 1/2 years.
Just like in any business, we deal with obstacles or challenges, but in every challenge, I made sure that I will learn something out of it and move forward with a positive attitude. This time, armed with the knowledge that I learned from previous experiences, I learned ways and strategies, so people won’t take advantage of my work or business. I stay focused on the fact that I have been able to impact so many families already. I’ve served clients from cities like in Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills, Troy, Madison Heights, Beverly Hills, Hazel Park, Highland Park, Grosse Pointe Farms, Royal Oak, Freeland, Auburn Hills, Oakland Township, and Macomb.
Last year I had my first out of state client, where we unpacked and organized a million-dollar home in Houston, Texas.
When I started my business, my dream was to organize homes of families from all walks of life, and also million-dollar homes, tv personality homes, and homes at prominent neighborhoods like Grosse Pointe Farms. All of them came true in the first year and even exceeded my dreams. I am truly blessed to meet wonderful people in my new journey through this business.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Organizing with Joy, we believe that every family and home has different needs that best suit their lifestyle. Our mission is to develop an organizing system that is tailored specifically to you and your family to ensure that you not only maximize your space but maintain it too.
To resolve common build up we offer decluttering and organizing services, bedroom and closet organization, kitchen and pantry organization, Storage organization (Garage and Basement) Home and office Organization, along with packing and unpacking services for households on the move.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The two essential qualities necessary to serve clients in my industry successfully is to assist them with compassion and a non-judgmental attitude. It is crucial that I give them a safe space to communicate their situation and listen to their ideas on what would make it an organized, functional, and beautiful space for them. I am there to help them turn the page to the next chapter of their lives. I take my role in their story very seriously, as it is a privilege.
