I recently used Potomac Concierge to help us with a move to a bigger home – they were wonderful from start to finish! Huge thank you to Shannon and Tricia for helping us get moved, unpacked, and organized so quickly and smoothly! Will definitely be using for future moving and organizing needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your move went smoothly and that Shannon and Tricia were able to make the process easier for you. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to helping you again with future moves or organizing projects!
Katherine Myer
Vanessa, Kelly, and Kristen were absolutely outstanding. In addition to their excellent service and skills, I felt incredibly supported by them during a difficult time. You can hire anyone to unpack boxes, but they brought such skill, thought, and care to the organizing process. By the end of the day, the rental house was feeling like a home for my family, all thanks to them. They were truly a joy to work with, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much, Katherine! We are so happy we were able to make the process easier for you. Wishing you all the best.
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!
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!
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!!
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!
Hilary Anthony
I can’t say enough good things about Potomac Concierge! I reached out to Aida about help with a big move (two houses into one) and she replied immediately. Her team took care of coordinating with the movers, handling no parking signs and ALLLLL the packing and unpacking. (They even did thoughtful things, such as reach out to neighbors.) I can’t tell you what a relief it is to be moved in and have every box out of the house within 24 hours – and to have everything thoughtfully organized and put away. To top it off, everyone was incredibly nice and friendly, even towards our nosy pets 🙂 Hire Potomac Concierge!
Git Nahmens
Shannon and Helen did amazing! This place was so overwhelming and they tackled it no problem and seemed to have fun doing it too. It was super helpful and we now feel like we have an apartment (not a storage until) to live in.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad Shannon and Helen were able to help make the space feel more like a home and less like storage! We’ll be sure to pass along your wonderful feedback to them. 😊
K P
Shannon and Tricia were wonderful and helped our parents get settled in their new place. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We’re so glad Shannon and Tricia could make the transition smooth and stress-free.
Jill Zuckman
Simply the best. We couldn’t be happier with all the support we got from Potomac Concierge. When you need help, these are the pros.
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!
Ellen S
Erika from Potomac Concierge Services was a fantastic help in organizing my craft room. She was delightful to work with and had great ideas about what to do and how to do it. Five stars!
Response from the owner:Hi Ellen, thank you so much for your kind review. So glad Erika was able to assist you! Please don't hesitate to reach out should you need our services again.
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.
Samuel Zipp
Potomac Concierge recently helped us move my father out of his home of more than a half-century and across the country to a senior living community. This was, as you can imagine, a complex and stressful undertaking, and they handled it all with patience, experitse, and thoughtfulness. Libby was very effective in getting the project off the ground–setting expectations, understanding our needs, getting to grips with the particular situation. This took a bit, but once we were going she found the right solutions to our situation. In particular she assigned Dana to our case. I can't recommend her highly enough. We literally could not have done it without her. She went out of her way to make this easier for my father, and for the rest of us, who live relatively far away. She made a difficult process seem almost simple–a model of organization, clarity, and empathy for us in a hard transition for all of us. Thanks to Dana, to Libby, and to Lauren for making this work. We appreciate it!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review. We know how emotional and overwhelming a transition like this can be, especially after so many years in one home, and it means a lot to hear that our team was able to make the process easier for your father and for your family. It was truly our pleasure to help you through this transition, and we’re grateful for your trust in us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you or your father need anything moving forward.
Stephanie Jaar
Vicki came to reorganize two of my closets and had everything done within 3 hours! We tossed very few items and yet by the end I had gained back a lot of space in the closets.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Stephanie. It was a pleasure helping you get everything organized and allow you to reclaim valuable closet space!
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!
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
Aisha W.
I worked with Potomac Concierge in November 2019. I was moving with my toddler son from a 3-bedroom apartment in Bethesda to a house in Friendship heights….
Jeanne Theis (JTinNoVA)
I was helping a friend move, and Potomac Concierge Services was there to unpack. Vanessa, Kelly, and Kristen were fantastic. They are organized, diligent, and incredibly hard-working. And on top of that, they are fun and kind and just a pleasure to be around. I can't imagine this move without their help. Highly recommend.
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.
Michelle Belliveau
It was a pleasure to work with Amelia and her team at Potomac Concierge! They did a beautiful job organizing various bookcases as well as three large walk-in closets at the Ritz Residence. I would definitely recommend them to any of my clients!
Response from the owner:Hi Michelle, thank you so much for your review! We are so happy our team was able to assist you. Please don't hesitate to reach out should you ever need our services again.
Nicole Bowden
Absolutely amazing service! Thank you so much Helen for all of your help!!

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.
Bridget Bowers Maybud
Using Potomac Concierge Services has been a game changer and amazing for our family! They helped us prepare for a move to temporary locations in preparation for a house renovation. Robin and team were incredible/terrific/great! They helped us declutter our house before we moved, helped coordinate the move, helped pack and unpack into our new temporary spaces! They thought of all the details that I would have forgotten. And, they also supported during the stressful moments. This is the first week that I have not seen any of them in the past two and a half months and I miss them. They are all so pleasant, helpful and fun. We are going to use them when we move back into our house and will continue with them on an ongoing basis so we can stay organized. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Potomac Concierge!
Response from the owner:Dear Bridget, we are so glad we were able to help you and the family get moved and settled and look forward to getting you back into the new and improved house! You were a pleasure to work with – thank you.
Patrick Ronan
Prior to the COVID pandemic, I commuted to Washington, D.C. each week for work. Since March 2019, my business travel has been limited, but I continue to maintain an apartment in D.C. I've had the pleasure to work with Kelly W., as she has managed cable/WiFi installation, furniture delivery, coordinating the delivery of packages, etc. She is friendly and professional, and flawlessly manages any task, no matter how complex. Kelly W. has taken a big source of stress out of my life and comes with my highest recommendation.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Patrick. It is a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to continuing to help in every way we can.

Do you ever find yourself looking around your home, wondering how it ever became such a cluttered mess?

Frequently Asked Questions

Decluttering and cleaning are two different things. While cleaning removes dirt, dust, and other visible debris from your home or space, decluttering focuses more on organizing and deciding what to keep or give away.

An excellent start is by identifying and prioritizing the items in your kitchen. Take inventory of your items and consider whether they are genuinely needed or used regularly. For example, you can begin by considering giving away or tossing electrical appliances like coffee makers, slow cookers, or air fryers that have not been used in a while.

Consider enlisting the help of family members, friends, or professional services if needed; this is especially true if any items and appliances are challenging or heavy to move out.

 

When decluttering sentimental items, the key is to be as objective as possible. Ask yourself how much value is in that item. For example, is it something you might want to pass on to future generations? Can it be repurposed in some way? Is there a more functional alternative that would better suit your needs?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you may choose to keep the item; otherwise, consider donating or throwing it out. Remember that decluttering isn’t about getting rid of everything that’s not “perfect”; instead, the goal is to create more space and less clutter in your life.
