Transition Squad

The Opportunity

If you like the idea of helping people, solving a big problem, repurposing second hand items to keep them out of the landfills, and being involved in an exciting business with huge demand, then Transition Squad may be your answer. Legally, it’s a franchise. Philosophically, it’s a partnership.

Transition Squad® has been in the downsizing business since 2006. We first started in the physical estate sale business, then added online auctions to our website for things that were not sold during the estate sale. Eventually, we realized we had it backwards and switched the order around to auction the best things first, then have a mini-estate sale for the unsold items. The result – sale prices for everything skyrocketed so our clients made a lot more money and, as a result, so did we. Some further simple tweaks to our process resulted in lower staffing costs and faster turnaround which dramatically improved profitability. Over the years, we’ve sold millions of dollars’ worth of items and conducted thousands of estate sales and auctions.

With a Transition Squad® franchise, you get multiple franchises in one. While we have competitors that typically offer bits and pieces of what we do, we are one of the few companies that have been successful at building a totally turnkey solution in the senior downsizing space. This means multiple revenue streams and diversity of projects at one low cost. And the best part is that you get the satisfaction of helping people at a time of need. So a Transition Squad® franchise is good for the environment, good for the community and good for your soul.

Ideal Candidate

To make any business successful, one has to work smart and then hard. We’re looking for enterprising hard workers to partner with us to champion our brand and grow their business in their local market.

Seniors and their families will be entrusting you with their own personal effects, many of which will have sentimental value. They may call Transition Squad® because they see a benefit in our value proposition, but they will sign up because they trust, like and build a connection with YOU and believe that you will treat their precious items with the same care and attention as if they were yours. Therefore, it is very important that you are genuinely and sincerely interested in wanting to help the client.

This role also requires an organized, resourceful, project management type of leader with excellent attention to detail, the ability to juggle multiple clients at the same time and excellent written and oral communication skills. You must be flexible with your time to meet client needs.

While you don’t need to be a “tech geek” to own a Transition Squad® franchise, you should be comfortable with computers and basic programs like Excel, Word, databases and browsers on a Windows platform.
