About Nicole, The Founder of Organized Haven
Nicole Ramer, SMM~C
Owner, Professional Organizer, Certified Senior Move Manager®
|
Originally from Miami, Florida, Nicole moved to Central Florida in 1992, 5 days before Hurricane Andrew. Before she finished high school, she started college courses and went on to receive her Associates Degree in Business Administration, specializing in Management. She learned more organizational skills during her 13-year career in banking, where she was a resourced organizational guru at the credit union branches she managed.
Although she had always been an organized person, Nicole struggled to maintain an organized home during her transition into motherhood in 2012. Finding her way through that stage of her life in a small home with no storage, she used her journey of learning how to declutter and downsize the contents of her home to help others through the same or similar organizational challenges. Nicole started her independent Professional Organizing business in 2013 in an effort to help others organize through all of life's stages. Six years later, Nicole's husband Danny is her partner at Organized Haven, a Professional Organizing and Senior Move Management company. They and 8 of their team members offer home and office organizing, downsizing and estate sales, senior move management, aging-in-place services, space planning, packing & unpacking, home inventories, estate clearing, staging homes for sale, and post-move cleaning. Organized Haven specializes in assisting older adults & their families who are facing the overwhelming task of decluttering & downsizing and either moving or aging-in-place. Senior service advocates, senior living communities, realtors, estate attorneys, and others in the community rely on the physical and emotional support Organized Haven provides to their seniors and their families. |
