Client Testimonials

“I highly recommend Ducks in a Row. I have used them during two transitional periods in my life; they are very organized, hard-working, thoughtful and low pressure. The act of scheduling, allotting time, and having assistance in the effort of purging and organizing made the seemingly overwhelming process very doable. Living with the results adds an element of peacefulness to my life. They are worth every dollar I spent with them and I plan to use them again in the future.”

“Anne Lucas is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient, and has a natural ability to organize. She’s very respectful of what is important to you to keep, and as soon as you decide what you don’t want, she’s resourceful in knowing where to give it away. I found that very satisfying, because it’s hard to throw things away, but knowing that it will be recycled and used makes it easier.”

Mary Caroll
Winchester, Ma

"Anne was the best person who could've helped us when moving. Between herself and the real estate agent, the house was in such good shape that it sold on the first day it went the market. Her help made an enormous difference — I'm not sure we could've accomplished it without her."

Marie Berry

“Anne Lucas definitely has a creative way of putting all your “ducks in a row.” With a gentle nudge to let go of your things, to finding excellent homes for your throw-aways, in the end, your clutter is gone, and you’ve had fun accomplishing a long overdue goal!”

Harley Elia
Quarterly Review of Wines Magazine
Winchester, MA

“When I have a huge job with a lot of clutter, it’s easy to lose the way. Anne helps to remember daily, weekly, and long-term tasks, and brings me back to the task in a nonjudgmental way. The whole thing becomes less overwhelming and less like a weight on my whole life, and the job gets done. Anne also helps in figuring out a logical place to put things that works for you, and that’s what’s important: finding out what works for you.”

Alicia Hintlian
Winchester, MA

“Anne takes care of everything, she thinks of everything, and she puts your mind at ease. Anne makes me feel good about what I’m doing and what I’m letting go of, because she has a good home for everything—she has unlimited resources.”

Susan Corkery
Winchester, MA

“Anne is a lifesaver. She organized my office and home. My basement was filled with 25 years of theater memorabilia!! Now, it is easy to keep things under control — her system makes so much sense!“
