Decluttering & Home Staging in Central PA
Home Transformation with Heart, Humor & a Whole Lot of Motivation
Hey there! I'm so glad you landed here.
Whether your home feels a little out of control, you’re prepping to sell, or you’re just craving a reset—you’ve come to the right place. I’m Kristen—the heart, hands, and high-energy behind Sorted & Staged Decluttering and Home Staging Services—and your go-to girl for clearing clutter, calming chaos, and creating beautiful, functional, and organized spaces that feel like you.
I’m a natural motivator with a heart for helping and a passion for transformation that started young—like really young. As an only child with plenty of time and an eye for order, I spent my days organizing my parents’ home just for “fun.” That childhood spark became a professional calling nearly two decades ago—helping real people live with less, feel more in control, and fall in love with their homes all over again.
Decluttering Is at the Heart of What I Do
Professional organizing and decluttering services aren’t just about tidying up—they’re about reclaiming your peace of mind. Clutter isn’t just stuff—it’s stress, indecision, and overwhelm. That’s why decluttering is the foundation of everything I offer. Whether you’re staying put or staging your home to sell, we start by letting go of the excess so we can make space for what truly matters. I guide you through the process with empathy, energy, and zero judgment—because I get it, and I’ve got you.
Declutter to live, Stage to sell, I do both!
Whether you’re looking to create a more peaceful living space or preparing your home for the market, I’m here to help. My Decluttering (Live-in Help) service offers one-on-one support to simplify and organize your space for everyday comfort. If you’re getting ready to sell, my Staging service ensures your home looks its absolute best—inviting, polished, and ready to impress buyers. Whatever your goal, I’ll make your home feel just right.

My Happy Clients
Read real stories from my amazing clients!
I contacted Sorted & Staged to help me sort through my baby's closet. The amount of hand-me-down clothes I received was over whelming and I was in need of sorting so I could assess what I wanted to keep and what I wished to donate. Kristen came over and in a professional, efficient manner guided me through her process. We worked together and within 2 hours we cleared out 13 boxes and 2 bags worth of clothes! We then moved to placing the clothes in drawers by season and hanging the larger sized clothes in the closet for future use. While we were at it, we cleared out the closet floor, making room for seasonal items and unopened toys not yet age-appropriate. We reached all my goals, and our friendly banter made the hours just fly by.
Sorted and Staged was a great investment! I had so many problem areas including a ton of clothes that were different sizes, being stored in a small space. Having Kristen there to help me figure out what things I should get rid of that I did not need and then organize it was a huge help. I like to hold onto things in hopes that one day I might be able to wear it again and having someone there to help along the way was a huge help. Kristen was really helpful with using existing furniture and accessories that were already there; she placed them differently so that the space was better utilized. She did not come in and ask me to go buy all new stuff so I got to use everything I already had! I have to say that what I enjoyed most about my session was having someone there as a second opinion, getting to know Kristen better and utilizing her professional opinion. I will definitely be calling Sorted & Staged again!
I've been working with Kristen now for the past several years and whenever I need her service she is always available to meet with my clients. She will take care of meeting with the Sellers, giving them items to do, or whatever level of staging you need, and will follow up after the appointment. Using Kristen keeps you separated as a Realtor, from telling the sellers about all the things that should be done in order to have the best sale possible and she has a very good eye as well as understanding the small things that make a big difference. The pictures look better and the house shows better. Overall as a Realtor, your listings will be above the others because you offer services other agents don’t. I would highly recommend using Kristen.
