A Note from Tina
“The reason you don’t see a bunch of Before and After
photos of neater rooms is simple. The rewards derived from
organizing are intangibles which save time, energy,
and frustration and benefit people emotionally. We
can’t show you that in pictures so instead, listen to what
some of my clients have experienced.”
Best 'De-clutterer' in the City...
"Sometimes, the elephant in the room is actually a morass of unopened mail, yellowing newspapers, outgrown baby clothes and broken exercise equipment. “I was about three clients in when I realized de-cluttering isn’t about the stuff,” says Tina Blazer, owner of Spot On. “It’s about the human dramas, like illness and divorce, that lead people to have a hard time purging.” Blazer combines the confidence of a lifetime neatnik—her idea of teenage fun was to organize her mother’s kitchen—with a delicate approach. An average house will take 16 to 20 hours to tackle. Each session has an attainable goal, like getting a vase of flowers onto a table that’s been hidden under junk for a year. $50–$65 an hour."

Systems and strategies eliminate struggle...
"I was struggling with having accumulated a lot of stuff over a number of moves and fitting it into my current, challenging space.
I found Tina online and felt comfortable with reviews I had read about her work and decided to give her a call. And I am certainly glad I did.
She was extremely helpful. Together, we analyzed my space challenges and worked on a system to help me stay organized and minimize the clutter. She taught me some strategies to assess the value of my things and how to prioritize what gets chucked, what gets kept and how to organize what I choose to keep. She is also a very sensitive and caring person, and made me feel comfortable during emotional times of parting with things that I no longer wanted/needed but of which I was having trouble letting go.
I would recommend Tina to anyone."

Moving in a hurry...no worry!
"When I was moving to Peterborough I had a tight one month timeline so I enlisted the help of a professional organizer/packer to help me. It was honestly one of the smartest things I've ever done. It saved me my sanity, time, and helped me organize and get rid of stuff - and I'm a very tidy/organized guy to begin with."

Space...the final frontier!
"Spot On Organizing was amazing!
Tina managed to organize two apartments (mine and my son's)...in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds...hapless adults, four-year old twins, one dog, two cats, and the motherload of clutter. She made everything look so lovely! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I learned so much! And her presence and assurance made me feel so calm. Thank you, thank you again!"

Chaos Transformed...
"De-cluttering the Easy Way! After moving houses twice in eight months, I’d had my share of purging. I pitched the bulk of 10 years of accumulated stuff from a busy, sports-involved family of five and I could not face the one last purge looming in our basement. Everywhere I looked, junk and treasures alike were bathed in plaster dust. I felt defeated and I needed help. Just at the right time, Tina Blazer from Spot On Organizing, came into my life. Her positive attitude and confidence were the ingredients I needed to move forward on this monumental task. Without comment or judgment, Tina pinpointed the key elements of the chore ahead, hired the appropriate staff and got the job done. My basement was chaos transformed! Now, as I look to overhaul my rec room, I plan to hire Tina to help design and transform it into a multi-purpose space. Now, if I could just stop procrastinating and pick up the phone!"

Relief from a nagging voice...
"As a fairly organized person, I didn't expect that cleaning
out that back room and sorting supplies which were behind
closed doors' would have such an impact on my enjoyment
and attitude towards that area of the house. Now when I
walk by, I don't hear that nagging voice reminding me to do
the work and making me feel bad. The room seems lighter
and I feel a great sense of accomplishment. You're fun to
be around and make "The Buddy System" enjoyable work!
Thanks Tina!"
- Tracy Call, Toronto
Time saved, worry avoided...
"Getting my house ready for market under extreme time
constraints... You made everything look so lovely. I really
enjoyed working with you Tina. I learned a lot, and your
presence and assurance made me a lot calmer! Thank you!"
- M. DeFrancis, Toronto
Relief and renewed energy...
"I so appreciate the change in the energy of my home that
has come from 'simply' having what was there seen
through, and re-arranged with, new (and clearly
innovative) eyes. What was important to me was honoured
and there's a freshness and openness that wasn't there
before. Thank you"
- Maralyn Cale, Brampton
Beautiful, open, reclaimed spaces...
"Up until you came, I was feeling very claustrophobic in my
own home. The children's toys were everywhere, and I felt
as though we were outgrowing our home, and fast. I was
embarrassed to let anyone see my home... When I got your
call saying you were done, I was so eager to find out what
you could possibly have done to my small home with its
obscure (and limiting) open-concept layout, that I left work
immediately. I arrived and was in awe as I entered such a
wonderful scene... My main floor looked just like a show
home! It was astounding how much room you had created.
And best of all, you gave me back my dining room. Thank
you! Thank you! I would recommend this to anyone and
everyone!"
