Be Clutter Free with TLC
Professional Home Organizing and Decluttering Services
What my clients have to say
Following the passing of my 101 year old father who was still living in his own place, we engaged the services of Tara Collins upon the recommendation of our realtor. We were looking for someone to assist us with sorting, selling, dispensing with, and generally organizing Dad’s possessions, a task that spanned several months before we also required help with cleaning the place in preparation for selling it.
Tara not only provided all of the needed and requested services with competence and professionalism, she did so with perpetual enthusiasm and friendly engagement in a way that eliminated all of the stress that often accompanies such tasks. She was nothing short of amazing, and anyone needing similar services shouldn’t consider working with anyone else. On top of excelling at the services she offers, I found her to be a kind, sensitive, and extremely trustworthy person, further underscoring that Clutter Free with TLC is a truly remarkable asset in the field of decluttering services. Don’t delay, call Tara today!

I cannot say enough good things about Tara Collins and her services at Clutter Free with TLC. She was punctual, flexible with her time and reassuring and compassionate when I was faced with clearing out my mum's estate, A daunting task.
She dove right in helping to physically clearing closets and cupboards and helping sort items into keep, sell, donate or trash, always keeping in mind the emotional toll on me.
She knows where things can go, their relative worth and even advertised items for sale and made trips for me to various charities. I wanted as little as possible to go into trash and her connections with buyers paid off several times.
Tara was encouraging all the way and even stepped in as a cleaner at the end when another let me down.
Above all, I genuinely enjoyed Tara's company through it all. She is friendly, positive, encouraging and lots of fun! She made a very difficult time so much better for me and I consider her my friend. I highly recommend Tara; she is worth every penny!

My home office will run much smoother now with Tara taking the time to help me get organized. This will help me focus better at my job. Amazing what a difference it makes to have had this service. She did more than organize my physical space, she organized my computer desktop clutter as well.​

​Tara walked into my cluttered apartment and was only positive. I got quite embarrassed as my place was so cluttered, I couldn't walk across the floor without risking tripping and falling. Tara's positive outlook put me at ease. This month, March, is both my adult daughter's birthday month. I was so delighted, not only able to invite family once again into my home, but feeling good about how people loved my more spacious apartment!​

No one had been invited into my home for the last two years. I was too embarrassed. Tara quickly assessed my situation and dove into everything, organizing my stuff, organizing me, taking away items for donation. She was always a dynamo and her energy rubbed off on me. I had been quite depressed over my situation but she was like a ray of hope, and soon I felt uplifted.

I highly recommend Tara for any of those daunting organizational tasks you have at home or in the office. I have needed to organized my business supplies for years but organizing is not my strength. Tara made it look so easy and did it in record time. I'm now thinking of my next project for her..
-Sherry, Victoria, B.C.
I recently hired Tara to help me with my move. Tara was exceptional. She carefully packaged and labeled all my belongings very clearly and in a concise descriptive fashion. This made for a very informative and easy move to my new home. Tara definitely streamlined the entire process. This entire move was stress free and very helpful.
-Mike, Victoria, B.C.​
I would recommend Tara for anyone needing help to organize their move or to simply organize their home in a suitable fashion. Tara, thank you for your paramount effort and the wonderful success of my move and relocation. You have been very helpful, you work extremely hard and have an exceptional work ethic. Be Proud!
-Joe, Victoria, B.C.
I could not of done it without Tara's help..... pretty much sums it up!...Faced with a closing date with only weeks to go and a 4 bedroom house with a lot furniture and things to sell, Tara assisted me to sell furniture, donate items or place on consignment. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is always available to respond to texts or calls in case of urgent matters. Again, I can't thank her enough. The sale of my home was literally at risk and Tara pulled me through it all. Thank you again for all your hard work and extreme dedication!.

We hired Tara to help us clear out a condo and prepare it for an estate sale as we were feeling quite overwhelmed, especially because of being from out-of-town. Tara quickly helped us determine what items could be sold, donated, recycled, or thrown out; she also took items to donation centres, posted and managed sales online, dropped off and managed items at consignment stores and auction, and helped us remove recycling and garbage. Tara was present at the condo when items were appraised, larger junk items were picked up, and when the carpets were professionally cleaned, and once the condo was empty, she cleaned the condo. From start to finish, Tara was efficient, worked hard, and frequently provided us with detailed accounts of her activities and e-transfers for money made from items sold. Tara is professional, knowledgeable, and caring; she made a huge difference to us in getting the condo ready for sale and we highly recommend her services.

I am at a loss for words how much I appreciated Tara Collins owner and operator of Clutter Free With TLC. I sold my home and was downsizing from 3000 sq feet to 1000, I was frustrated and didn’t know where to start! It all started with a free consultation explaining what she does and her process. I have mobility and medical issues, she was professional and supportive of my needs. She assisted me to keep on track and explained along the way the difference of keep/sell/donate, once the decision was made she would either post or we would pack for donation or keep. She posted the sale and free items on my behalf and kept track of everything and once an item was sold or wanted she would provide the potential buyer with my information to set up a time for pickup. She was able to do more for me than I was able to do for myself in 3 months. Without her assistance I would still be struggling and overwhelmed where to even start. She encouraged and praised at each accomplishment. I am so grateful for her and what she did to help. She was, fast, polite, understanding and kind. I highly recommend her services. Much appreciated, love and respect to you Tara. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

I had been overwhelmed with the mess from a move and a construction project and I couldn't keep it organized. Tara came in and helped me do an initial organization and set me up with a system. Now I'm feeling less overwhelmed and stressed about my space. I am so grateful for her help.
