JULIE BERTRAM, CEO and Founder

For as long as I can remember, I have loved how organization can transform your home. 

Clutter becomes structure.

Stress becomes harmony.

Across a 15-year career in real estate, I discovered my passion for problem solving, working with others, and finding the perfect solution for each client. But my favorite part was always preparing their houses for market - reshaping each room into a beautiful new canvas, fresh with possibility.

As a working mom raising three children, creating an efficient flow was always vital to maximizing our time together. Implementing a functional system that our family could follow gave me room to breathe and time back to focus on what mattered the most.

Today, I am the founder and lead organizer for The Organizing Pro. Since 2001, I have been witness to the profound and lasting impact that organization can create. My clients will often call me after their appointment, marveling in the re-creation of their space. It always makes me smile. 

That’s what I strive to do every day - to restore the way you experience your home, one transformation at a time. 

With gratitude,

Julie
