Blue Moon Estate Sales

Blue Moon Estate Sales began out of a demand in the market for a quality home liquidation service. The founders have over 50 combined years of antique buying, selling, and appraisal experience. We sell cars, fine jewelry, furniture, right down to the pots and pans and the Beanie Babies. 80% of our clients are downsizing, rightsizing and about 20% are deceased and we work with the executors.

A Blue Moon Estate Sales franchise provides a tremendous opportunity. You are joining a growing, in-demand industry that for years was run by small estate sale companies that provided a lot of variability in service to their clients. Part of our mission is to bring standardization to the industry in the form of reliability, integrity, honesty, promptness, and professionalism – all with a caring touch, as this is often a very stressful time in people’s lives.

- Home-Based Business - No retail/office space needed
- Direct Pay Customer Base – No chasing down people for money
- Large, Protected Territories
- MEDICAL BENEFITS AND 401k available for franchisee and FT staff

Industry Talking Points

The industry is growing largely due to the daily increase in the number of Baby Boomers, many of whom have lost one or both parents or are in need of downsizing their own possessions. In sharp contrast to the size of families and the limited amount of tangible assets 50+ years ago, today’s families are smaller and families have a lot more “stuff” - often more than can reasonably be passed on to their heirs. This creates a lot of opportunities for our franchisees.
