The Initial Consultation with Linda Lammers

If your ready to have us help you then the next step is to contact Linda at 218-329-7442 or email her at linda@changeisgood.us.com.

That first meeting will take about an hour. In this meeting my goal is to get to know you and see if we are going to be a good match to work together. We will also go through your needs, timeline and your wishes on who you want involved. We then discuss all the service options Change is Good offers and answer any of your questions.

After the First Meeting

Next you decide if we do all or just certain parts of the move together. You might already have some of the steps done or arrange help to do a certain part. We meet several times before we finalize price and a plan.

How are the Services Priced?

Each move is unique and customized to you. Charges are based on an hourly fee plus expenses. After the initial consultation and you decide the services for you, I’ll provide you with an approximate estimate. It is approximate because there are many variables that play into downsizing and moving. We are very clear and upfront about any cost and expense. When we sell items for you, you get every penny from that sale unlike an auction sale. So, we don’t keep any of it and you don’t have to do the work of selling it. Linda will be happy go over the pricing structure with you more in-person or by phone.

Client Testimonials

There seems to be an inherent sense of impersonal mediocrity in our culture today, particularly in the service industry. Rarely do you find a service provider who goes above and beyond the minimum required of him/her. Linda Lammers of CHANGE IS GOOD does not roll in that trend.

We had no prior knowledge of Linda before hiring her upon recommendation from a friend of my mother’s. She moved our parents from their condo to a senior housing complex.

As a gerontologist I was impressed to see her sensitivity to aging realities as she interacted with my parents.

As a Christian I was blessed as she demonstrated the Christ-like qualities of compassion, patience, and kindness to our entire family.

As a daughter I appreciated her sincere respect of my Mom and Dad with not a hint of the too-often ageist condescension of calling the elderly “honey” or “sweetie” or talking down to them.

And while I may have been annoyingly underfoot as I helped re-settle the new apartment, Linda acknowledged my role as “relocation manager” and always deferred to my suggestions about where my folks would like a certain item arranged or put.

Linda Lammers does what she says she will do, and does it with energy, hard work, flexibility and empathy in a circumstance that can be emotional and difficult. As a relocation specialist Linda provides a service that rises above mediocrity and exudes excellence.

Speaking for my family, we would highly recommend her.
