Services that free you up.
Less stress, more living.
Personal CONCIERGE, or Business
Research for your business. Research for individuals on: products, specific topics, contractors/services, travel destinations and more. If you’ve ever spent hours upon hours figuring out where to go on that road trip, which hand mixer to buy, or everything there is to know about a medical condition, FreedUp is the answer.
Reviewing/Editing documents, articles, website content and other copy.
Business owners: we can provide that second pair of hands (or legs), when you need it. We’ve helped caterers, landlords, and home stagers, to name just a few. One-offs or multiple assignments are a-okay.
Home Organization: decluttering; downsizing; organizing spaces from kitchen pantries to garages. Ridding your home and mind of unwanted and/or unnecessary stuff not only opens up space, it’s been proven to decrease anxiety and stress!
If you’re downsizing due to a move we can simplify the process, and make it less of a burden for you. Heck, it can even be fun when you have a buddy to work with you!
Organize your home or business. This can not only save you time, it will also help you to enjoy your space more —whether it’s a pantry, a closet or the garage— by ensuring that everything is in its place and that you can easily find things when you need them. A personal concierge can make a daunting task or project like this much easier. We work with you to ‘get it done’!
Moving Preparation: packing household items, pre-staging, home organization (see above), researching and/or coordinating with moving companies, waiting for contractors, caring for pets, other tasks as needed. Moving is a daunting project, and a personal concierge can make your life much easier by helping you with anything from planning your move, to simply packing a few boxes, and everything in between.
Second Home management: FreedUp offers a variety of concierge services so that your home is taken care of when you can’t be here. FreedUp makes it possible for you to enjoy yourself when you are in town, instead of worrying about tasks such as watering, repairs, housecleaning, or even buying groceries. We provide, or hire, the services that you need.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing that someone’s watching over your home, scheduling/meeting with contractors, checking the mail, bringing in deliveries, or almost anything else that is needed. We cater to your needs, have great attention to details, and will let you know when we notice items that need attention. FreedUp can create a personal concierge plan for you or simply handle tasks/errands as they come up.
Turn your clutter into cash without effort. We’ll sell or consign your unwanted items for you. From furniture to household goods, and everything in between.
Errands: holiday, grocery, or personal shopping; donation drop offs; shipping; and more.

I have had the privilege of knowing Deb Kraus as a professional associate for over 25 years. Deb is one of the most organized, accountable, and hardworking people I know. I had hired a professional writer for my website, but Deb took the writing to the next level. Her writing and editing are both clear and efficient. Anyone considering working with Deb Kraus would be lucky to work with this professional who has excellent skills, integrity and heart. Laurie Pillings Rinker, Brands That Deliver
Deb handled all kinds of moving-related tasks for me while I was preparing my home for staging and eventual sale, such as helping me downsize, selling items, light packing, and donations drop offs. Deb is very organized and together we came up with a plan and timeline. She was efficient and reliable, and very personable. I couldn’t have done it without her! I would recommend FreedUp to anyone.

Deb has been a big help to me since I’ve been unable to drive due to a serious injury that has left me temporarily incapacitated. She has picked up and delivered my groceries, and been a great help to me while I recover. I highly recommend Deb’s services for her reliability and conscientious work. Donna B., Bend, OR
