Our Story
About Neatly Balanced
Neatly Balanced is a professional home organizing company founded in 2020 with a simple mission: help people live with less clutter and give more to those in need.
What started as a small local organizing service quickly grew into a multi-member team serving homes across Nashville and clients nationwide. Today, we organize spaces, coordinate donation pick-ups, and partner with nonprofits so items our clients no longer need can directly support others.
We believe organized looks different for every person and every home—and we build systems that support real life, not perfection.
Less Clutter. More Impact.
Neatly Balanced focuses on removing what clients no longer use, wear, or need and making sure those items are donated responsibly.
We partner with multiple nonprofit organizations throughout the Nashville area and coordinate local donations whenever we travel for out-of-state projects. When local placement isn’t possible, items are returned and donated through our Nashville partners.
We also support senior living communities and rest homes throughout Middle Tennessee by delivering appropriate items such as books, magazines, and DVDs for residents to enjoy.
When donations go to qualified nonprofits, clients receive tax-deductible donation receipts.
Changing the world—one closet at a time—isn’t just a slogan for us. It’s how we operate every day.
How It Started
After losing her father to cancer in 2010, founder Kristy Edwards took a mission trip to Honduras in 2011 that deeply shaped her perspective on possessions, generosity, and purpose.
While visiting a small local bakery, a woman realized Kristy was American and attempted to give her baby to her, believing the child would have a better life. The moment was heartbreaking and life-changing.
From that experience forward, Kristy committed to living more minimally and doing meaningful work that helps others directly.
In early 2020—just one week before COVID shutdowns—Neatly Balanced officially launched. What began as a leap of faith quickly became a growing service built around organization, donation, and practical support for overwhelmed households.
Today, that same heart for service still drives every project.
Where We Work
Neatly Balanced is based in the Nashville area and serves clients throughout Middle Tennessee.
We also travel nationwide for organizing projects and currently work with clients in multiple states. Travel projects are quoted individually based on scope and schedule.
