Part-time, Onsite – San Francisco Bay Area
About Us:
For over 20 years, The Organized One has helped individuals, families, fiduciaries, and attorneys navigate the deeply personal and often overwhelming task of managing personal property after a loss. As Estate Organizers, we provide compassionate, hands-on support to settle estates, manage belongings, handle paperwork, and prepare properties for sale or transfer.
When a client contacts us, it’s often in the wake of a death. They may be grieving, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to begin. Our role is to step in with clarity, care, and competence to help bring order to what can feel like chaos. Whether the property is pristine or packed floor-to-ceiling, we approach every situation with empathy, flexibility, and practical expertise.
The Role:
We’re looking for an Estate Organizer who brings maturity, calm in the chaos, and a good sense of humor. You’ll work hands-on alongside a team to help organize, sort, and prepare personal property for donation, sale, distribution, or disposal. Some days you’ll be unpacking fine china; other days you might be digging through boxes in a spider-filled garage. It’s never boring.
What You’ll Do:
- Work onsite in homes, garages, and other estate properties across the Bay Area
- Sort, group, and pack personal belongings based on detailed plans
- Follow direction from the Project Manager and adapt quickly to changing priorities
- Use discretion and judgment in handling family heirlooms and sensitive materials
- Communicate clearly and promptly with the team about scope changes or unexpected discoveries
- Maintain site security and keep unauthorized persons out of work areas
- Stay organized and detail-oriented, even when the work gets messy
- Participate in physically demanding tasks (lifting, moving boxes, navigating stairs, etc.)
- Be flexible, resourceful, and unfazed when plans shift midstream
- Occasionally assist with photographing, documenting, or inventorying items
What You Bring:
- A calm, steady presence and the ability to bring order to clutter and ambiguity
- Experience with estate sales, auctions, or a strong understanding of the secondhand market (furniture, art, collectibles)
- Comfort working in a variety of home environments—from tidy to dusty, lived-in spaces
- Physical ability to lift 50 lbs and work on your feet for extended periods
- Excellent communication skills—written, verbal, and digital
- Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Photos)
- Reliability, punctuality, and professionalism
- Willingness to take direction but also speak up with thoughtful ideas
- Empathy and emotional intelligence when working with grieving clients and families
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license
- Ability to pass a background check
Bonus if you have:
- Experience managing teams, vendors, or subcontractors
- Familiarity with resale platforms, consignment processes, or appraising collectibles
- A flexible mindset and the ability to stay calm and resourceful in unpredictable situations
Schedule & Pay:
- Part-time, hourly position
- Regular working hours are Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM
- Weekly hours vary depending on project load—some weeks may be light, while others may require 30+ hours
- Must be available to travel to job sites throughout the Greater Bay Area
- Must have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance that covers business use.
- Pay is commensurate with experience
If you’re the type of person who can find joy in the oddball, roll with the unknown, and bring both compassion and competence to people navigating life’s transitions—we’d love to hear from you.
