We recently connected with Renata Urias and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Renata, thanks for joining us today. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?

About 10 years ago, I was having a conversation with my husband about what I wanted to do professionally. At that time, I had a two-year-old and was working as a teacher at his preschool, which felt like the perfect job for me. During our talk, my husband suggested that I consider going to people’s homes to help them organize their spaces because he knew how much I enjoyed organizing.

My initial response was, “Why would people hire someone to organize their homes? It’s something you can do yourself!” For me, organizing has always come naturally, and I honestly didn’t think people would need help with it.

Years later, during the COVID pandemic, I was working as a commercial property manager for a construction company. Life felt chaotic—my kids were taking Zoom classes at home, and I needed the flexibility to manage my own schedule. That’s when I started to explore other career options.

One day, I saw a social media post from someone offering pantry organizing services, and it was a lightbulb moment for me. I realized this was a real profession, and it could be the perfect opportunity to combine something I truly enjoy with something I’m naturally good at.

Once I started my own business as a professional organizer in 2020, I realized I should have listened to my husband and started sooner! I love what I do, and helping others create organized, functional spaces has been incredibly rewarding.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am originally from Mexico City, and in 2010, my husband’s work brought us to the United States. Since then, we’ve made The Woodlands, TX, our home. I’ve always been an organized person, and I’ve personally experienced how transformative a well-organized environment can be. It creates harmony, reduces stress, and allows us to focus on what truly matters.

In 2020, I decided to turn my passion for organization into a business, helping families and individuals regain control of their spaces and rediscover pride in their homes. My goal is to provide personalized, practical solutions that fit my clients’ unique needs and lifestyles while being easy to maintain over time.

I offer a free in-home or phone consultation to better understand my clients’ challenges and goals. My services include unpacking, decluttering, and organizing any space, whether it’s a cluttered closet, chaotic pantry, office or work space, or even managing the logistics of a complete move-in. I strive to make the process stress-free and enjoyable, tailoring my approach to suit each client’s specific preferences and routines.

What sets me apart is my belief that organization is more than just arranging things neatly; it’s about creating a harmonious environment that inspires and energizes. I love seeing my clients’ reactions when they see their transformed spaces—it’s a moment of joy and relief that never gets old.

I’m most proud of the trust my clients place in me to bring calm and order into their lives. My mission is to help them feel more at peace and in control, one space at a time.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I believe my reputation within the market has been built on a foundation of trust, personalized service, and consistent results. One of the key factors has been my dedication to understanding each client’s unique needs and tailoring my solutions to fit their lifestyle. Every space I organize reflects the client’s preferences and goals, making the changes practical and sustainable for them.

My clients appreciate the care and attention to detail I bring to each project, and many have shared their positive experiences with friends and family. I’m also diligent about maintaining clear communication throughout the process, which helps clients feel comfortable and supported.

Additionally, I focus on delivering visible and impactful results. Seeing their spaces transformed often leaves a lasting impression, which leads to referrals and repeat clients.

Finally, I think my passion for what I do shines through in every project. I genuinely love helping people feel proud of their homes again, and I approach each job with enthusiasm and care. That level of commitment has been key to earning my clients’ trust and building a strong reputation in my market.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

The best sources of new clients for me have been word of mouth, social media, and authentic networking relationships.

Word of mouth has been incredibly powerful because happy clients naturally share their positive experiences with friends, family, and colleagues. When someone trusts me to transform their space and sees the results firsthand, they’re often excited to recommend my services to others. This kind of personal endorsement is invaluable and has been a significant driver of my business growth.

Social media has also played a key role. By sharing before-and-after photos, organizing tips, and insights into my process, I’ve been able to connect with a wider audience and showcase the value of what I do. Social platforms allow potential clients to see my work in action and get a sense of my personality and approach, which helps build trust even before we meet.

Lastly, authentic networking relationships have been essential. I’ve built meaningful connections within my community and industry, and those relationships often lead to referrals or collaborations.
