Caring Transitions

CINCINNATI, Ohio —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caringtransitionsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=caring-transitions-surpasses-400-locations-celebrates-record-breaking-first-half-of-2025-2729880" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions</a>, the nation’s leading senior relocation, downsizing and estate sale franchise, has crossed the halfway point of 2025 with historic growth and powerful momentum. With 36 franchise sales in the first six months of the year and a presence in 48 states, the brand continues to demonstrate its strength as a purpose-driven business and franchise opportunity.“We’ve had a really good year so far — we are pacing above our company goal, and we’re looking to break another record in 2025,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-stapleton-0aa67629?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=caring-transitions-surpasses-400-locations-celebrates-record-breaking-first-half-of-2025-2729880" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">James Stapleton</a>, Vice President of Franchise Development at&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/caringtransitions/info">Caring Transitions</a>. “We just crossed over our 400th location, which is a huge milestone in and of itself. When I started six years ago, we were just south of 200 franchises. To double that in such a short time — and to do it strategically — is an incredible achievement.”Caring Transitions also recently made its debut in Rhode Island, bringing the brand to 48 states and pushing closer to truly nationwide coverage. But it’s not just about size — it’s about quality.“This isn’t about selling franchises just to sell franchises,” Stapleton said. “We’re thoughtfully placing the right people into the system. We’ve turned away just as many as we’ve brought in because we’re focused on fit. That’s what makes this feel so good — we’ve got amazing franchisees who are taking this business by storm, who know they’re helping someone every day they wake up. This is a business where you can get a hug and a check after a job well done.”The brand has also hit record revenue goals in the first half of the year — not just for franchise development, but for&nbsp;<a href="https://ctbids.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=caring-transitions-surpasses-400-locations-celebrates-record-breaking-first-half-of-2025-2729880" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CTBids</a>, its proprietary online estate sale platform. With over 3,000 estate sale auctions and more than 452,000 individual lots sold so far in 2025, CTBids continues to lead the category in both scale and innovation.This surge comes on the heels of the Emerging Owners Conference held in March, which brought together newer franchisees for hands-on training and connection with the brand’s leadership and peers. Caring Transitions also introduced AI-powered phone support for CTBids, enhancing the buyer experience and customer service across the platform.And the accolades keep coming. The brand earned four spots in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/directory/caring-transitions/328969?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=caring-transitions-surpasses-400-locations-celebrates-record-breaking-first-half-of-2025-2729880" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2025 Franchise 500 Awards</a>, including:<ul><li>No. 1 in the Estate Sale category</li><li>No. 42 Fastest-Growing Franchise</li><li>No. 24 Top Franchise for Less Than $100K</li><li>No. 287 overall on the Franchise 500® list</li></ul>“These rankings reflect the strength and accessibility of our model,” Stapleton said. “We’re seeing everyone from corporate employees looking for a new start to longtime CTBids users stepping into ownership. The demand for what we do has never been higher.”Looking ahead, Caring Transitions is preparing for several game-changing initiatives in the back half of 2025. These include a uniform shipping solution for franchise locations that allows bidders to see estimated shipping costs before placing a bid, and a major redesign of CTBids rolling out in July featuring a more intuitive buyer experience, enhanced search capabilities and better item visibility.&nbsp; &nbsp;Additionally, the brand will launch an updated operations manual to reflect its fast-paced growth and new systems, provide enhanced estimation software for franchisees and debut national TV commercials, marking the first time Caring Transitions will be seen on major networks.“This year is about breaking records, but it’s also about laying the foundation for long-term success,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ray-fabik-b17a9521?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=caring-transitions-surpasses-400-locations-celebrates-record-breaking-first-half-of-2025-2729880" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ray Fabik</a>, President of Caring Transitions. “We’re incredibly proud of the momentum we’ve built, the franchisees we’ve brought on and the communities we’re serving. As we continue to expand, we remain focused on smart, mission-driven growth — helping more families and empowering more entrepreneurs in the process.”With over 400 locations, a surge in brand recognition and best-in-class support, Caring Transitions is proving once again that it is not only the leader in senior relocation and estate sales — it’s also one of the most compelling franchise opportunities in the industry.To learn more about franchising with Caring Transitions, visit<a href="https://1851franchise.com/caringtransitions/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/caringtransitions/info</a>.ABOUT CARING TRANSITIONS:Caring Transitions provides older adults and their families with the most trusted, respected and comprehensive downsizing, right-sizing, estate sales and online auctions, and move management solutions in the industry.
