Lois saved my sanity!!! I had to sell the home I had lived in for 25 years and the Realtor could not have been more blunt that I needed to “de-clutter!” I also needed to downsize, put things into storage and figure out how to sort through and get rid of 25 years of accumulated STUFF! I was nervous… I had seen some organizing shows on TV where the host was brutal and in my fragile emotional state, I couldn’t deal with that! Lois was patient and kind. She didn’t push me to get rid of what held sentimental value for me. She guided me with questions that helped me analyze it for myself… not by intimidation. She worked hard and handled all the details including organizing every room, staging the home for sale, junk pick up, trips to Goodwill, movers, boxes and even a mobile shredding service! My Realtor was literally SHOCKED as he walked from room to room. He said he didn’t think it was possible to make it look as nice as it did!
- Help wading through an overwhelming situation. You don’t know where to start, but she DOES!
- A kind person who won’t make you feel guilty (you know you already do)!
- The RELIEF that comes with having a clean, organized home…with a place for everything – and everything in its place.

I’d like to thank you for the organizing job you did in my children’s playroom. After moving an entire household 2000 miles it was the last unpacking job to do. It seemed overwhelming to me. I just couldn’t get to it. Thanks to you, not only did it get done, but it got done in a very professional and organized manner. I really appreciate the job you did for us.
I will highly recommend you to others.

“You can sell a woman organization and she is tidy for a day;
but if you teach her to organize she is tidy for a lifetime.”
This is my modified quote that best explains my wonderful experience with Lois Fisher/Avanti Organizing. She really gave me the tools to stay organized for a lifetime. She has the talent and patience to explain the how & why; with the speed and experience to tackle the tough spaces effectively. The best part is…to your sense of order not hers. We spent time evaluating whether certain ideas would stick. Often Lois would modify her organizing rules to meet my personal needs. She understands the reality of living. My favorite transformed space? My bedroom closet…Lois’ creative ideas and experience really helped in picking baskets and boxes to create a closet that I love to keep tidy.
Thank you Lois… you have helped me find my place for everything.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping me with my office. You did such an awesome job. I know I would have kept putting it off and I feel you were just what I needed at the right time.
I love the color of the walls and the wicker baskets are the best. I feel my work is easier now that I have better work flow and I know I get more work done in less time. It sure is nice to be able to find everything easier.
I get lots of comments on how you displayed my pins on the apron. The mirror has helped me have more light in the office and is so much better than the tiny one I had up.
So many of my consultants and customers have told me how nice my office looks and how it has inspired them to organize their own offices. Of course, I told them they should just hire you! I’d be happy to hand out your cards if you’d like to send me some.
I’ll be calling soon to have you help us with our closets in the house. They need that “Lois” touch!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the help you gave me in organizing my office. I actually look forward to spending time at my desk now. It is such a treat to be able to find whatever I need without digging through piles.
I was very impressed will all of your ideas and your energy and enthusiasm. I look forward to our next project in the near future.
I hope you get to Paris soon.

Lois helped me to set up my home office that enabled the flow of paperwork to stay under control & run much smoother. Her ideas and knowledge for simplifying things was invaluable.
We even organized the garage with great shelving that can go anywhere with me. It definitely helped with space in my kitchen to put non-everyday items in clear storage boxes that are labeled for quick access on that shelving.
Lois showed kindness & compassion without judgment, in recognizing the emotional attachment I had to certain things. She helped me to recognize the importance of acknowledging what things brought me pleasure/joy to have around and what things I was holding onto because of a feeling of obligation. I began to realize that it wasn’t necessarily the “thing” I wanted, but the memory attached to it. Lois helped me utilize other tools/ways that enabled me to keep the memory without all the “stuff”. Her calm reassuring attitude helped to keep me on track thru the whole process.
I would highly recommend Avanti Organizing for any organizational needs you may have , no matter the size.
