Debbie
There is much to say, so to keep it short… Shannon with Potomac Concierge is excellent! She is professional, kind, on time, gets the job DONE and offers no judgment. Thank you, Shannon! Lauren in the office is responsive, knowledgeable and kind as well! I highly recommend PC and if you want a trusted service professional, Shannon is the way to go!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience. Shannon is truly amazing, and we’re lucky to have her on the team! I’ll be sure to share your feedback with her—it will mean a lot. And thank you for the shout-out as well—it’s always a pleasure supporting you. We really appreciate the recommendation! – Lauren & The Potomac Concierge Team
Rachel Bernhard
Vicki with Potomac Concierge was amazing! She did an incredible job helping to tweak and organize our closet, and it looks so neat and beautiful. We have worked with Potomac Concierge in the past when we moved and needed help with unpacking and organizing and are always pleased with the team.
Response from the owner:Hi Rachel. We are so glad that Vicki could help give your closet a makeover! Thank you for once again trusting Potomac Concierge to help keep you organized.
Thomas Welsh
Big shout out to Shannon for coordinating our move, packing, moving day and unpacking. She was on top of everything from start to finish. I highly recommend her and Potomac Concierge.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We’re so glad everything went well, and we’ll be sure to pass this along to Shannon , she’ll love hearing it. We appreciate your recommendation!
Nick Freshman
Absolutely incredible group of people. Help my father transition to a new facility, and made the process extremely easy and anxiety free.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad we could help make your father's transition easier and less stressful. Wishing him all the best!
Ann Murphy – NOAA Federal
We highly recommend Potomac Concierge – a top notch business!!! Last year, we sold our home in McLean, VA and prepared to rent locally. A friend recommended Potomac Concierge and we worked with Aida Middel during a time of unknowns– where we would move, what we would do… Aida was helpful in suggesting what we needed at the rental… what could be stored, and what we should not keep. She was professional, cooperative, and considerate as we sifted through belongings making decisions. We appreciated suggestions vs. being asked what to do. She helped with packing and even with marking furniture placement when we found a rental. She also recommended a professional moving company, JK moving. A year later, we prepared to move out of state. We call on Aida and PC and we were grateful and fortunate to work with Jamee Whittan. Jamee is fantastic! We immediately connected on what needed to be done and, again, Jamee did not wait for guidance – she assessed the situation after a walk-through and formed a “game plan!” This efficiency reduced the stress enough so that I felt at ease to focus on work and other tasks. Jamee was very friendly and patient and listened as we sorted through the priorities and next steps. She remembered details of our schedule (including packing for my husband who was taking boxes to FL in advance of JK moving). Jamee was very helpful in setting the schedule for future visits. Once she had a schedule conflict and she immediately arranged for Kristen O’Brien to help. I appreciated that since I had blocked the time in advance. Kristen was equally friendly, efficient, professional, and patient!!!. I called for help during a very busy time but PC went “the extra mile!” It was a pleasure to work with Jamee and Kristen and I trusted them both. We simply didn't have enough time to coordinate all aspects of the move AND continue to work – and we were grateful that Aida, Jamee, and Kristen stepped in to help. We appreciated their patience and kind approach to an otherwise stressful situation. We still felt stress related to the move, but not with Jamee and Kristen! I assumed I would help with packing (!) but they had confidence in their approach and took initiative to get things done, leaving me to work on other tasks. They communicated well during the process to ensure we were always on the same page. They were both so very easy to get along with and they managed to get so much done each day while creating a calm environment. Truly 5-star service!
TheBisho84
This is an excellent business! They provide an outstanding service! Aida is very professional; she provided me with a very accurate estimate of the work to be done at my place at the outset. She is also very pleasant and responds swiftly to any inquiries. Coleen and Amelia helped me unpack and sort my stuff after I moved to a new apartment. Both ladies are classy, fast and efficient and they also have a great taste! They took the stress out of moving out for me! Bishr A.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bishr for your very kind words.. We were so happy to take the stress out of your move, and get you unpacked and settled into your new home. Best wishes.
Richard Harrington
Shannon was terrific, working under a challenging situation—conducting a long-distance Facetime inventory, working to clarify and classify a decidedly disorganized estate, overseeing careful packing of vintage concert posters and music memorabilia, as well as personal belongings going into storage after a long-time friend's move to a nursing home. She never made assumptions but checked with me as to identifications and such, and made sure everything was clearly catalogued. And she also made sure that when the materials were moved into the storage unit, they were organized for easy access. Lots of photos as well, to make things even clearer. An amazing job all around I'm truly thankful for her partnership in this difficult time.
Nancy Sachs
I have to tell you how wonderful and incredible both Rachel and Dana were in getting our attic, basement, and tool shed in ship-shape order!  They're both amazingly efficient, hard-working, energetic, and very nice!  Both my husband and I appreciated their taking charge of the mess at our house.  It will really help make our lives so much cleaner and easier. Lauren was also great in helping set everything up and was very responsive with ideas and help. I can highly recommend Potomac Concierge!
Susan Sandler
What a great experience! I had Kelly and Marley help me with unpacking and putting things away in my new apartment right after a move in, including setting up the kitchen and master bedroom, among other tasks. They were terrific–experts at what they do, and very kind and patient with me during a very challenging moving week. I learned some great things from them about how to make my new space work best for me. I would not hesitate to work with Potomac Concierge on other home space planning projects and I recommend them highly!
Response from the owner:Thank you Susan. We are pleased we could take some of the stress out of your move, and get you all settled into your new home. We wish you all the best, and are always available should you need further help organizing or maximizing other space and storage.
Carol Moore
I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Libby Kinkead. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, inspiring, and kind-hearted! When you work with Libby, you are immediately put at ease by her relaxed, down-to-earth approach. At the same time, she's highly energetic and motivating. The truth is I've read a lot about getting organized (which is a whole lot easier than actually being organized!) But after a recent class with Libby, I shifted into "get it done" mode. She gave me the boost I needed to take care of my clutter without judgment! Here are just a few of the gems that she shared that have made a huge difference for me: "Decluttering is not stuff shifting." (I didn't even realize I was doing this!) "There is a difference between something being useful and actually using it." And this one really hit home: "Clinging to the past makes it hard to move forward." Thanks to Libby's wise guidance and enthusiastic support, I am moving forward!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Carol. It was a pleasure to work with you. It is great to hear I was able to help. Good luck to you and the class and just let me know if you need any further encouragement. Libby

Potomac Concierge saved me following my father's death. Professional, timely, cooperative, and considerate, they managed to de -clutter, sort through,…
Allyson Alvaré Kranz
We recently enlisted Potomac Concierge to help with unpacking and organizing after our move, and the experience was outstanding. Their team — Amelia, Joan, Kristin, and Shannon — was prompt, professional, and genuinely delightful, all while unpacking more than 140 boxes in just two days and even finishing ahead of schedule. Lauren’s guidance throughout the scheduling process was equally excellent. I can’t recommend the Potomac Concierge team highly enough, and they will absolutely be my first call for the next project.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Potomac Concierge was such a positive one. Amelia, Joan, Kristin, and Shannon will be especially grateful for the recognition. It was a pleasure assisting you through the scheduling process and supporting your move. Unpacking and organizing after a move can feel overwhelming, and we’re so glad we could help make the transition smoother. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would be honored to assist you again on your next project!
Judy Bishop
I had quite a lot of travel during and after Thanksgiving, and needed some support with holiday decor. Kelly and Kristin truly made this Christmas the best ever. This duo is remarkable. They unloaded and opened all of the decorations (after marking them according to rooms last year) and did an amazing job helping me make everything beautiful. They wrapped presents like they should appear in the next Nutcracker. Positive, productive, professional and punctual; I love everything they created and every effort they made. When they come to my home, I know it will be lovelier when they go. I could not be more appreciate and grateful for this team!

Sabeth Siddique
Shannon, Rachel, Michelle all did an excellent job. Very thoughtful, easy to work with, and exceeded expectations with organizing, decluttering,and making our overall move back to our home a pleasant experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to Shannon, Rachel, and Michelle—they will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated their hard work. It means a great deal to us that they were able to make your move back home a smooth and pleasant experience. Thank you again for trusting Potomac Concierge. It was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to helping you again whenever you need us!
Lisa Stark
I had a last minute need for someone to pack up and clear part of the items in my basement and Potomac Concierge was amazing. I called on a Friday. They had someone here on a Monday morning and it was done perfectly! I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review, Lisa! So glad we were able to assist you. Please reach out to us should you need our services again.
Taylohr Richardson
Coleen and Amelia were so delightful for to work with. They were on time, professional and very supportive on my helping me make sense of my move. They took their time to ensure my needs were met and I am definitely satisfied with their working. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing help with getting settled in to a new place or even organizing their current space!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Taylohr. Thank you for your review. It was a real pleasure working with you, and helping to get you unpacked, organized and all settled into your new home.
Glen Kruglak
Lauren Labrada inspects our home while we are in Florida. She is timely, professional, courteous, and most helpful. A real asset.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your review. It is our pleasure to assist you and we look forward to helping for more years to come.
Sarah Skofield
I hired Potomac Concierge to help my parents after they downsized from their home in NH and settled in a retirement community in MD. Helen did a wonderful job communicating what she accomplished after every meeting with my parents…from helping with online accounts, auto-pay set-up and scheduling, decluttering email & cancelling old accounts, to creating a shared family calendar and prioritizing tasks for my parents to complete, the dependable schedule we set up with Helen was invaluable in reassuring my brother and I, as we both live in other states. My parents loved working with her too 🙂 So happy I found this personal assistant service in the DC metro area!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad Helen was able to support your parents and bring peace of mind to you and your brother. It means a lot to know the schedule and support made a difference!
Jeff Bennett
I felt compelled to share my experience with one of your personal assistants, Sara Coles. Sara represented your client who wanted to purchase a hot tub. Sara interview our company as a possible choice for a high end Jacuzzi model. Her client, being very busy, leaned on Sara to manage the entire process from the researching through the delivery. We worked hand in hand with Sara to make sure the sales process for her client was smooth, on time and exactly everything her client had expected. I would recommend Sara to anyone looking for an assistant who is a proactive problem solver, highly organized and exceeds expectations. Thank you again Sara!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience with Sara! We’re thrilled she exceeded expectations and ensured a seamless process. Your kind words mean so much—please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist in the future!
Tamara Galinsky
I can hardly put into words how wonderful my experience has been with Potomac Concierge! Jamee and Kristin organized the heck out of my kitchen and office and were an absolute joy to work with–lots of laughter and even a little dancing, but they were also incredibly efficient and innovative, full of great ideas and ways to make our life run more smoothly. I will definitely have them back to tackle another area of the house!
Brittany Griffin
I cannot recommend Potomac Concierge highly enough. We hired them to help organize our kitchen in our new home and Rachel and Michelle were an absolute dream team. They worked efficiently and asked really smart questions to help me figure out where things should go in our unusually shaped space. By the time they left, we were easily 80% done with our kitchen and I'm already scoping out new projects to hire them for again. If you're thinking about working with Potomac Concierge — don't hesitate!!
Alice Hendricks
This is the second time I have used Potomac Concierge. Everything they do is superb. The most important and helpful thing is not what they do but HOW they do it, they project manage everything so well it brings you complete peace of mind. The actual organizer and process is also terrific and high quality. excellent communication, Covid safe, and helpful in ways you didn’t even know you needed help. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Alice. Once again, it was a pleasure to help you. Best Wishes, the PC Team
Amy Will
We hired Potomac Concierge to help pack several rooms before a major home renovation. Amelia, Shannon and the representative from the moving company were all incredible. They arrived right on time and were friendly, organized, thorough and accommodating. They finished in record time and we would absolutely use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review. So glad our team was able to assist you! Best of luck on your renovation!
Laura Mack
Libby, Shannon and Claire helped me move with very little notice. I thought I could do everything myself, but got too busy with work. They had less than two weeks notice and made it happen. Not only am I unpacked, but all of the boxes are gone and my kitchen is better organized than if I had done it myself. They are extremely professional and pleasant to work with and would definitely use them again!!! I’ve never felt in better hands.
Response from the owner:Thank you Laura – it was such a pleasure working with you. You were so well organized and pleasant, the time flew by. Happy to help any time.
Natasza O.
What a professional business! If I could, I'd totally give them 5 more stars! Aida, was my last call. I was in quite a pickle. And had been phoning people…
