ABOUT YOUR OWN ESTATE SALE FRANCHISE

Are you an entrepreneur looking for an opportunity to own an estate sale franchise?  Estate sales is an exciting, in-demand, and fast-growing industry. The industry is rapidly growing and research, and statistics, show that the last of the baby boomers will turn 65 years old by 2029. As the number of baby boomers reaching their retirement age continues to grow they, and their loved ones, rely on caring professionals like you, the Franchise Owner, to help them by providing estate sale services due to relocation, downsizing, or to honor their loved ones’ memory.

Franchisees can expect a high return on investment by taking advantage of complete marketing support and training provided by the Franchisor.

Why are estate sales such a great opportunity?

? The over 65 year old population is projected to double to over 70 million by 2030 and grow to over 85 million by the year 2050.

?  In sharp contrast to the size of families and the limited amount of tangible assets 50+ years ago, today’s families are smaller and have a lot more disposable assets – often more than can reasonably be passed onto their heirs.  This creates a lot of opportunities for Franchisees.
