CASE STUDY: Moving Services The Changing-Places team sorted, decluttered and packed these clients, moving from a 4,500 square foot home into a 1,300 square foot rental apartment while they built a home. Overwhelmed by the job, and dealing with an ill spouse, our client thought the job simply couldn’t be done. We cleared the space, edited, organize and orchestrated the sale and donation of many items.

We prepared the house in perfect order for a talented staging professional to transform the rooms into the elegant final product shown here.

There wasn’t a problem to which you didn’t have a solution.”

The Honorable Judge John A. Sutro, Jr.

 

“We were able to place the completed house on the market in the allotted time and realized 20% over the listed price. The math is recommendation enough but, additionally, Margaret was gracious, fair and efficient.

“Changing Places made my life easy. Your team did a fabulous job handling my move. Every time I open a drawer in my new apartment, everything is in the place I’d have put it myself – intuitively – but YOU did the work for me.”

Trudy Zimmerman, San Francisco

 

“Please know that you folks saved my life–or at least my sanity. Please thank everyone involved: working with them was one of the few bright spots in my ordeal.”
