The research spiral
Fourteen tabs, three contradicting reviews, and a decision you still haven’t made. Two hours gone, nothing booked.
Task coordination · Tampa Bay & remote
You name it.
I handle it.
Dee The Middle Man is the one call that turns “I’ll get to it” into “it’s done.” Research, quotes, calls, paperwork, errands — handled start to finish, then delivered to you in a clean summary.
- Free, fixed quote
- One point of contact
- No retainer
The problem
Everything is a project.
None of it is your job.
The phone-call shuffle
Hold music, voicemail, a promised callback that never comes. You’re chasing people who should be chasing you.
The unfinished pile
The form, the return, the booking, the thing that’s been on your list since March. It’s not hard — it’s just not done.
How it works
Three steps. Then it’s off your plate.
No briefing documents. No project management software. You send the task; I come back with the result.
-
01
Tell me the outcome
One message is enough. What needs to be true when this is finished? A date, a budget, a preference — that’s the brief.
-
02
I do the legwork
Research, calls, quotes, forms, scheduling, follow-up. You get updates at the milestones that matter — never a play-by-play.
-
03
You get the result
The booking confirmed, the options compared, the paperwork filed — plus a short summary of what I did and what you need to know.
What I take off your plate
If it eats your afternoon,
hand it over.
Research & comparisons
I dig through reviews, vendors, and fine print, then hand you a shortlist with a clear recommendation.
Quotes & vendor coordination
I request the bids, compare them line by line, and stay on the vendor until the work is actually scheduled.
Errands & pickups
Returns, drop-offs, pickups, waiting in line — the small trips that quietly consume an entire afternoon.
Paperwork & admin
Registrations, claims, reservations, cancellations — the forms that keep sliding to the bottom of the list.
Events & moves
The details behind a smooth move, party, or launch — quoted, confirmed, and tracked in one timeline.
The unfinished list
Bring me the item that’s been sitting there for months. I’ll scope it, do it, and close it out for good.
Pricing
A fixed quote before
any work starts.
Every task is scoped differently, so every price is quoted. You’ll know the number before I begin — and it doesn’t move unless the scope does.
Single task
Flat price per task
One clear outcome — a booking, a return, a shortlist, a form filed.
- Quote within one business day
- One revision included
- Written summary on delivery
Project
Fixed project fee
Multiple moving parts with a deadline — a move, an event, a vendor search.
- Scope and timeline agreed up front
- Scheduled progress updates
- All quotes and receipts in one place
Ongoing
Monthly block
A standing block of time for repeat admin, errands, and the weekly overflow.
- Priority scheduling
- Unused hours roll one month
- Cancel with 14 days’ notice
No hourly surprises. No retainer required for one-off tasks. Travel and third-party costs are quoted separately and approved by you before anything is spent.
Who you’re handing it to
I’m Dee. The middle man is the point.
I’ve spent years being the person who figures things out — the call that actually gets returned, the quote that arrives when promised, the form that’s filed before the deadline. Now I do that for other people.
You don’t need another app to manage, or another assistant to manage you. You need one person who takes the task, does the work, and comes back with the answer.
That’s the job. I’m good at it.

Questions
Before you hand it over.
What counts as a task?
Anything that takes research, phone calls, coordination, forms, or a trip across town. Vendor searches, booking appointments, chasing quotes, returns, applications, event logistics, and the thing you’ve been avoiding. If it’s legal, ethical, and doesn’t require a license I don’t hold, it’s probably fair game.
How much does it cost?
Every task is quoted individually after a short conversation about scope. Quotes are free, fixed before work starts, and itemized so you can see what you’re paying for. Third-party costs are passed through at cost with receipts.
How quickly can you start?
Most tasks begin within one to two business days of approval. Same-day starts are possible when the schedule allows — say so in your request and I’ll confirm what’s realistic before you commit.
What won’t you do?
I don’t give legal, medical, tax, or financial advice, and I don’t perform licensed trade work such as electrical, plumbing, or roofing. I’ll find the right licensed professional, vet them, and coordinate the job instead.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Research, admin, bookings, vendor coordination, and follow-up are handled remotely. Errands, pickups, and anything requiring a physical presence are local to the Tampa Bay area.
Who sees my information?
Only me. Details you share are used to complete the task, kept confidential, and never sold or shared. Documents are returned or deleted on request once the job is closed.
