In this episode of The Real Estate Ripple, hosts Megan Wendtland and Christie Murawski, are joined by Kris Todd and Laura Cunningham from KAT Organizing & Relocation Solutions. Together, they dive into the emotional and practical sides of home organization—whether you’re staging a home to sell, helping aging loved ones transition, or just trying to reclaim your space. From 15-minute cleanups to hoarding support and senior move management, Kris and Laura share powerful, judgment-free guidance to help homeowners take control of their clutter and create more functional, peaceful environments.

• Creating sustainable systems for busy households
• How to organize sentimental items (like kids’ schoolwork)
• Key clutter zones and how to tame them (entryways, kitchen tables, stairs, etc.)
• Affordable organizing tools: clear bins, duct tape, timers
• Teaching kids life-long organizing habits
• Organizing for real estate: prepping a home for sale without overwhelming the client

• Senior move management and the value of NASMM accreditation
• When to consider outside help—and how it can make all the difference

✅ Use a family calendar to manage chores and schedules
✅ Declutter before a move to save time and money
