We recently connected with Devin Kasa and have shared our conversation below.
Devin , appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
I had a customer that lived with her dad in her childhood home and needed help getting the garage decluttered and organized. We were able to go through and throw out things that were no longer needed and also get her keepsake items safely enclosed in plastic containers. This customer was very thankful to actually be able to utilize their garage again. She said she felt so much stress was lifted away after having her garage organized.
Devin , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hi, my name is Devin Kasa and I am a Professional Organizer and owner of Neatly Organized.
My passion for organizing started when I was about 10 years old. On the weekends I would pull everything out of the cabinets and pantry and organize all of the items, my mom definitely didn’t mind this. Little did I know this was the beginning of something great. I graduated from Texas State University with my Bachelors in Business Management with hopes of one day growing the courage to become an entrepreneur. I also love kids so I decided to get my alternative teaching certification and taught Pre-K in Copperas Cove, then transitioned to Belton to teach Kindergarten as team lead. Once Covid-19 hit, teaching had a lot of uncertainties. I decided to start up my old hobby of organizing during breaks and holidays. I started with a few projects for friends and family. After dreaming about organizing becoming a means of livelihood, my dream quickly became a reality. After nine years of teaching, I finally decided that it was the perfect time for my family and I to make the next step. I began my own organizing business, Neatly Organized. After some time the word started to get out and since then I have been booking all kinds of different organizing projects, but have found that some of my specialties include pantry’s, closet’s, laundry/mudroom, and kids playrooms.
My job as a professional organizer is to help create neat and organized systems in each clients home so they can spend more time enjoying it. Most organizers in this area have similar backgrounds to me with teaching, attention to detail, and providing great services. The thing that sets me apart from others though, is my versatility in style. I was born and raised in East Bell County and grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, with my parents owning Green’s Sausage House. My whole life I have been taught the background of understanding systems that flow and how to interact with customers in a professional way. During my consultation process with clients, I ask several questions to better understand their wants from the space and how I can make it better for them. Organizing isn’t one size fits all, it’s about setting systems in place, and finding what will work best for that client and their family.
The types of services I provide are “Space Organization.” This service is neatly organizing any space in a clients home and creating an environment their family can enjoy. Areas can include pantry, kitchen, closets, playrooms, garages, and more! Another service I offer is “Moving Organization.” This service will help clients declutter and prepare to pack for a move and/or create a neatly organized new home!
I feel the most proud when clients message me after their project is complete. Or when they leave reviews saying how well the systems are working in their home. Usually saying that they want me to come back to do other rooms in their house.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
The best source of new clients is a referral from past clients and the ability to meet new people from moving. Being born in Central Texas then moving from San Marcos to Copperas Cove and eventually ending up in Belton. I’ve had the ability to meet new people and gain a following. Although meeting new people has helped me gain new clients my lead source of new clients is through referrals. Getting a good referral from a previous client is such a wonderful feeling and it already builds that layer of trust when your meeting someone new. When someone comes to me from a referral it can also be an immense pressure knowing that I need to do my absolute best, but that’s just one part of the job that I love.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
While referrals have helped my business grow it has been my hard work and dedication to my job that brings people back. Knowing that I put my all into the services I provide and spaces I organize has helped me grow a strong foundation for what clients can expect. I strategically plan every job to not only fit the expectations of my clients but also the environment to which I am organizing in. Since every organizational job is different I can adapt to the needs of the space and client while still providing the same quality no matter the situation.
