You get to call the shots

When we say, "Be the Boss," we don't mean it in the same way sandwich-shop franchises use it. You choose the clients you want, the team you work with, the days you work, the size of your operation. Flexibility on your terms is what makes the Aether franchise appealing for all people, families, and lifestyles.

You get to Leave the Office Behind

Don't constrain yourself with-in four walls! With an Aether franchise you get the opportunity to work in new environments every week. There's no office to rent or buy, and you can do most of the administrative work from the comfort of your own home.

No customer inventory to Purchase

One of the most profit-draining costs of operating any retail-based business is inventory. It must be purchased over and over and over again, ad infinitum. With estate sales, you'll take over the client's "inventory," keeping you from having to purchase anything other than the tools of the estate sale trade. An Aether Estate Sale Franchise is a service rather than an inventory distribution location, which is why our initial overhead is lower than most distinguished franchise opportunities out there.

You Set the Hours

Being your own boss means your hours are set by your own ambitions. If you want a week off, just schedule any sales you might have had for the week after. We have a three-pronged, proprietary approach to estate sales that encourages success like no other system. The Aether Standard™ shows all potential clients know that we take our reputation seriously. Once customers have had the Aether Experience™, they want to come back. Finally, the Aether Ethos™ keeps sales organized, standardized, and efficient for you.

THIS IS WHAT OUR COMPETITION LOOKS LIKE 

(NOTICE: We would never put on a sale with the "look" that you see above. These photos are from our competitive analysis.) According to EstateSales.net, they listed over 85K sales on their site in 2016, or just under 2K sales per week. While those numbers are massive, most sales are listed by companies that have no standards of operations. This is because the estate sale industry is minimally regulated. When the Aether crew enters a new territory, it raises the expectations of the clients in that market, ensuring more leads with a higher amount of contracts signed.

Flexible Overhead

Employee management is another flexible aspect of running your own Aether Estate Sale franchise. You can keep your operational costs down by doing all the prep solo, or using a family member to help. Conversely, if you want to focus on booking sales and meeting with clients, you can hire and train employees under the Aether Ethos™ to ensure their standards are as high as your own.

The Aether Estate Sale Opportunity

For a culture that is ever more moving towards buying used to avoid paying retail prices, the estate sale industry stands in a prime position. People are turning away from paying full retail prices for pricey furniture, electronics and tools. 

The estate sale industry itself is booming nationwide. According to EstateSales.NET, the number of sales listed on the site rose 36% to 54,505 in 2013 from a year earlier. In 2016, there were around 85K sales listed.

Estate Sales are trending as the industry gains more market awareness

Estate sales are rapidly becoming a part of life in communities across America as people look for ways to merge consumerism of the past with the consumerism of the future without waste.
