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.
