About this Business
This home-based senior relocation and estate services business has been serving Washington’s Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas since 2016. Built steadily over nine years, it now runs with a reliable part-time team of 10 and a strong reputation rooted in trust and compassion. Most business comes through referrals, reflecting years of consistent service in a people-first industry that depends on empathy and reliability.
In 2024, the business generated $428,148 in revenue and $150,888 in cash flow. There’s a basic marketing foundation in place, but a local, hands-on owner could significantly grow the business by deepening referral networks, engaging in senior-focused events, and dialing in a more targeted outreach plan. The team is capable and flexible, and growth opportunities are clear—especially in move management, resettling support, and probate-related services that are currently underutilized.
The seller lives three hours away and is seeking a buyer who can be present in the community and with the team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who values meaningful work, leads with heart, and wants to build something lasting. Seller financing available for qualified buyers.

Growth opportunities
The senior population across Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap Counties is growing and median ages over 50 are pushing up demand for service. Opportunities for growth include expanding resettling and move management services, building new referral partnerships with probate attorneys and senior care professionals, and increasing visibility through local events and community networking. With a trained team already in place and a strong reputation built over nearly a decade, the business is well-positioned for a local owner to take it to the next level.

About Caring Transitions
Caring Transitions is a senior-focused service franchise specializing in relocation, downsizing, decluttering, and estate liquidation for older adults and their families. Founded in 2006 and franchising from the start, the brand brings several related services together under one provider: move management, sorting and organizing, traditional estate sales, and online auctions through its CTBids platform.
The business runs on a home-based, low-overhead model. Franchisees work a defined territory, hire and schedule project crews rather than carry a fixed payroll, and are paid on completion as a cash business. Revenue comes from three main streams: relocation and downsizing projects, estate sales, and online liquidation. The network has grown to more than 450 locations across North America.
Caring Transitions is part of Strategic Franchising Systems, a multi-brand franchisor with decades of experience. Its main point of difference is CTBids, a proprietary online auction marketplace that gives owners a built-in resale channel most independent senior-move competitors lack.
Franchisee Support
Initial training prepares new owners to bid and estimate projects, hire and manage crews, read the local market, and run daily operations using the brand's accounting, estimating, CRM, and CTBids auction systems. Ongoing help comes from a dedicated Operational Support team plus a franchisee intranet, webinars, regional meetings, national conferences, and strategic planning, with localized marketing tools and business coaching continuing post-launch. Resale buyers should confirm with Caring Transitions what onboarding and CTBids and CRM access transfer to incoming owners when a unit changes hands.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Caring Transitions ranked #221 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 and #1 in its senior-relocation and estate-sales category, capping appearances on the list in most of the past decade and several years as Entrepreneur's #1 senior relocation franchise. Franchise Business Review named it a 2024 Top Franchise for Veterans on franchisee-satisfaction data, and it has appeared on Franchise Gator's Top 100. Resale buyers should weigh this brand recognition alongside the specific territory's local reviews and referral reputation.
Industry / Market
Demand is driven by an aging US population: Americans aged 65 and older are projected to reach roughly 73 million by 2030, when older adults will make up about one in five residents. Longer lifespans, the move toward downsizing and aging in place, and families spread across the country all fuel demand for senior move management and estate liquidation. The work is largely need-based, which supports resilience across economic cycles. For resale buyers, local demand depends on the territory's senior demographics and referral-network strength.
Ideal Owner
The model suits a sales-oriented, organized operator who is comfortable building local referral relationships with estate attorneys, senior-living communities, and real estate professionals, and who can hire and coordinate project crews. Empathy matters, since clients are often navigating stressful life changes. No senior-care, real estate, or estate-sale experience is required, though any of those backgrounds helps. It fits hands-on local owners who enjoy community networking and juggling several service lines, rather than absentee investors.
