What began as a serendipitous meeting in San Francisco has blossomed into North America's largest professional home organizing company. When NEAT Method started in 2010, we discovered our shared obsession with creating order from chaos, though we never imagined just how far our vision would reach.
We saw our first major sign of success when we expanded to Chicago in 2012. "Watching our systems work just as effectively in a completely different market proved this wasn't just a local need – it was universal," shares our co-founder Ashley Murphy.
Today, we've revolutionized the professional organizing industry. With over 100 franchise locations across the United States and Canada, we've transformed countless homes while setting the gold standard for luxury organization services.
"We've always believed that organization isn't just about aesthetics – it's about creating sustainable solutions that transform how people live in their homes," notes our co-founder Marissa Hagmeyer.
This philosophy guided us when we launched our first collection of organizing products in 2020. Drawing from years of hands-on experience in clients' homes, we designed a line that perfectly balances functionality with beauty, from pantry canisters to closet solutions.
Our latest milestone, The NEAT Method Organizing Recipe Book, released in early 2025, represents another way we're sharing our expertise. "We wanted to make professional organizing accessible to everyone, whether they work with us directly or tackle organization on their own," Murphy explains.
As we've grown from our San Francisco roots, we've built more than just a business – we've created a community. Our network of franchise owners spans two countries, each one maintaining our high standards while bringing organization to new markets.
"When we look at where we started versus where we are now, it's incredible," reflects Hagmeyer. "But what truly excites us is where we're headed. We're not just organizing homes anymore – we're changing how people think about living."
With our expanding product line, growing franchise network, and unwavering commitment to excellence, we continue to redefine what's possible in professional organizing.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to our founding vision: helping others live NEAT, one beautifully organized space at a time.
