If you want to pretty much handle all the details yourself and pay someone 4k a day to stand around and watch movers then changing places is for you. Zero value very very high price tag ... total scam. **★ — Kristen Werner, June 2022** > I put down an ~8k deposit which funded ~6k for one day of help, and then they charged me ~1k to cancel the engagement. $300 for a fifteen minute phone call, when I asked to cancel, an additional $300 for them to pick up their items they had left at my house over a month earlier. And an additional ~$400 for cancelation paperwork. > > Definitely not worth the money. **★★★★★ — Niche Interiors, Nov. 2014** > Changing Places is top notch! We recommended them to one of our high-profile clients who needed someone to help coordinate and manage their move into an 8,000 square foot home. Changing Places did an excellent job. They stayed in touch throughout the process and were a pleasure to collaborate with. Their focus on client satisfaction and their high attention to detail resulted in a seamless transition for our clients. We can't wait to work with them again! ## Selected projects - [Decluttering Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decluttering-transformation-pj-vj~3248031) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Deluxe Entertainment Pavillion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deluxe-entertainment-pavillion-pj-vj~2984860) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: This hillside compound was in need of an outdoor kitchen and entertainment space was created by one of our partners Tamara Backston at HOMELIFE Designs.
