Price drop: 18.6%, from $1.1M to $895K, a $205K reduction, for this Los Angeles County franchise providing senior relocation, downsizing, estate sales, online auctions, and clean-out services.

Timeline: Established in 2021, the business is currently listed at $895K. Transworld attributes the reduction to the sellers’ decision not to pursue SBA financing, with the revised price intended for cash or other non-SBA funding.

The numbers at the new price: The business reports approximately $1.02M annual revenue / $476.8K SDE, a roughly 47% SDE margin. At the $895K ask, that equals about 0.9x revenue and 1.9x SDE, down from roughly 2.3x SDE at the prior $1.1M ask.

On the price drop: The owners report 30–35 combined hours of weekly involvement across consultations, referral relationships, and auction oversight, despite support from an operations manager and administrator. The sale also includes two protected territories running through 2035, subject to the franchise’s transfer requirements.

The most important question to ask: What SDE remains after replacing the owners’ current responsibilities, and what franchisor approvals, transfer fees, royalties, and renewal terms apply to retaining both territories?
