When some unexpected family circumstances left us needing to quickly prepare my parents’ home on the Big Island for sale, my wife and I didn’t know where to start. The house was full of decades of belongings—some valuable, many not, and tucked throughout were meaningful family mementos. The volume was overwhelming, and we had very little time. That’s when we found Anna Bruce of Ohana Organizer, and she was a lifesaver. From the very beginning, Anna was warm, professional, and completely non-judgmental. What could have been stressful and even embarrassing instead felt manageable, because Anna rolled up her sleeves and worked right alongside us. She has a gift for making a hard process feel easier, and she quickly became a trusted partner to us. One of Anna’s biggest strengths is her network of local contacts. She not only helped us donate what we could, but also connected us with a professional who carefully packed and shipped selected family china to our home in Connecticut. And when it came to the many items we didn’t want to keep, Anna used her relationships to get nearly 200 items accepted into a regular estate auction—something we never could have managed ourselves. Thanks to her, we even walked away with several thousand dollars from the sale. Anna combines kindness, sensitivity, and efficiency with incredible resources and know-how. We’re so grateful we found her, and we recommend her and Ohana Organizer wholeheartedly.

Working with Anna from Ohana Organizers Kona was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and at ease with the entire organizing process. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy to communicate my needs and concerns.
Anna was incredibly attentive to my budget, constantly checking in to ensure we stayed within it. Her dedication to respecting my financial constraints was truly appreciated and showed her commitment to providing excellent service.
I was amazed at the transformation Anna helped me achieve. She opened up so much space and created an environment that is both functional and flowing. The difference in my home is remarkable, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Anna's expertise and thoughtful approach have made a lasting impact on my living space and my life.
I highly recommend Anna and Ohana Organizers Kona to anyone looking to create a more organized and harmonious home. Her professionalism, care, and attention to detail are unmatched.
I will definitely be using Anna again in the future for all my organizing needs!

Anna is such a positive, caring, and supportive person with a big heart and a can-do attitude. She’s a self-starter and she gets it done!
During this difficult time and loss, her compassion, amazing organizational skills, sense of joy and humor were a big support and greatly appreciated.
She’s very knowledgeable, personable, professional, efficient and detail-oriented. Her packing was superb…everything in the crated shipment arrived on the mainland in pristine condition.
With her extensive experience, local resources and network, she is able to determine the best approach and multi-prong strategy to find happy new homes for things while keeping them out of the landfill (such as donations, social media posts, garage sales, specialized dealers, and online auctions).
Tracy was a huge help at the sales. You two are fabulous and a dream team!
Mahalo nui loa. I couldn’t have done this without you.
