We had the good fortune of connecting with Kiera Malowitz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kiera, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I first started Decluttered, I had been a stay-at-home mom for a few years with 3 kids. Wanting to return to the workforce while balancing mom life was important to me but I also wanted to make a difference. I had been helping family and friends on their own journey to clear out clutter and live with less stuff weighing them down, and realized this was what I was meant to do.

Fast forward to being in business for my 6th year, and I can tell you it’s an honor to help so many on their organization journey. I now have a team that is on this journey with me of making a difference in peoples homes and businesses, and it has been life changing for both us and our clients!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Decluttered™ is a team of professional organizers who strive to take away the stress and feelings of overwhelm for busy families and professionals. Our company’s core values are that of compassion, empathy and kindness. We are a full-service home organizing company that helps to manage clutter and organize the home and business; offering moving services from start to finish, organizing photos and memories, and maintaining a clutter-free and organized home so that you can focus on what matters most. We service Dallas-Fort Worth & San Antonio, Texas and Rhode Island, Massachusetts & Connecticut in New England.

What sets us apart – Not only is our entire team professionally trained, we have a deep understanding of the various “seasons of life”, and we are very efficient at what we do, which is why we can do a lot in such a short timeframe! Also, we believe that no other organizing company offers you the ability to not only organize your home and office space, but to also help organize other aspects of your home life – from photos, memorabilia, moving, downsizing, advising on collectibles or items that may have value – we are here to help with organizing your everyday!

I would not be where I am today if I did not have this wonderful team of women around me. We are on this journey together and while it has not always been easy, we know how to overcome challenges by taking it day-by-day and knowing we are there to support each other.

We have grown quickly over these last 5+ years, and updated our branding to match the level of professionalism we bring to the process. We changed from DFW Decluttered to Decluttered LLC to Decluttered LLC Dallas Ft Worth, Decluttered LLC San Antonio and Decluttered New England LLC. While we’ve grown we have maintained our core values, and much of that comes from my professional training through NAPO (the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals) that I then pass on to the team. This is important because while we are always adjusting to new situations and clients, we are consistent in out training, professionalism, and the process that we bring to each project (we make it fun too!).

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
This is a tough one because we operate in 3 different cities, but I’ll highlight Dallas-Ft Worth because that is where we started and where I’ve lived the longest! Outside of the touristy things to do, we would most definitely go out to dinner at Gloria’s and get a margarita while enjoying their bean dip (a favorite of mine!). These are spread all over DFW so you can plan to go to any location.

I also love to visit some of the towns outside of the big cities, with Grapevine (the Christmas Capital of Texas) being my favorite as it is where I grew up. I love to take friends on a wine hop or enjoy my latest obsession of pickleball at Chicken N Pickle. My favorite restaurant is Mason & Dixie on Main Street in Grapevine because I love their gluten free grilled cheese and tomato soup. I never even liked tomato soup before having it there, and now I can’t get enough!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would not be on this journey of small business owner and entrepreneur without the support of my husband. We also started together on our own journey of clearing out clutter and downsizing our belongings when we first met (nearly 20 years ago), so to turn my passion into a business would not be possible without his support.

My journey very originally started because of my Dad. He passed in 2023 but prior to his death, I had been helping him clean out 40 years of stuff in his home. We made a lot of progress before he passed away, but to have to continue the journey without him was hard. Luckily with all my training and experience, I could push through the hard times. But my goal is to help people live a clutter-free and more organized life so that their legacy is not their “stuff.”
