Caring Transitions franchise business owners Sandra and Jodie Anderson recently announced they have relocated their current franchise location in Greenville, Texas, to the the City of West Austin in the Hill Country region of the state. According to Jodie Anderson, the franchisees saw the chance to grow their business by making the move as there is a stronger need for these services in the city because of the large number of senior communities there.
Trained professionals with this brand specialize in handling aspects of senior moves, including packing, organizing, de-cluttering, liquidations, online estate sales and home sale preparation. Although the company focuses on seniors, these services are also ideal for busy families and individuals who need help with a move.
Before this husband-and-wife franchisee team decided to pursue the Caring Transitions franchise opportunity in early 2018, the Andersons worked in the auction and estate sale business. They decided to transform their existing auction and estate sale company to a full-service franchise with the brand after they attended an estate sale held by a neighboring brand franchisee and saw that the company was filling existing gaps in the home move and estate sale processes.
Services offered by the franchise brand are tailored to handle many senior move aspects or help with the downsizing process to create a safer living situation. They also provide essential help to those who are clearing the home of a loved one who has passed away or moved into assisted care. All of the company's services can be customized so that clients are able to chose the solution that will best fit their own needs, whether that is the management of an entire move and estate clearing or just getting a person settled into his or her new home.
According to Jodie Anderson, her work is sometimes less about the physical aspects of moving and more about emotional management, as families or seniors might just need a person to turn to during times of transition, which can often cause friction between family members.
Started in 2006, Caring Transitions is the first nationwide franchise concept that focuses on senior transition and relocation services. With more than 200 locations across the US and more franchise opportunities available in many markets, this brand is still growing. The total initial investment for one of these franchise opportunities ranges from $58,112 to $91,612.
