Brokers Who Know the Business Firsthand

We've been on both sides of the table — buying and selling pool routes ourselves — so we know exactly what matters to both buyers and sellers. As your pool route experts, Poolside Business Brokers brings firsthand experience to every deal. We understand the details that can make or break a transaction, from what buyers are really looking for to the concerns that sellers need addressed. Our job is to make the process smooth, fair, and transparent so that you can move forward with confidence. We're active in the pool service community and support organizations like IPSSA that help pool professionals succeed.

About Us

How the Process Works

Selling your pool route doesn't have to be complicated. Our streamlined process is designed to guide you every step of the way — from the first conversation to a successful sale. We connect sellers with qualified buyers, manage the details, and make sure the transition is smooth and stress-free.

Introduction Call

We start with a quick call to understand your route—account count, revenue, service mix, and geography. With just a simple export, we provide a ballpark valuation and outline the best path forward. This ensures you know what to expect before committing to the process.

Valuation & Listing Prep

We price your route using current market comps and adjust for density, delinquency, and repair potential. Our approach aligns with PHTA industry standards to ensure accurate valuations. From there, we create professional marketing materials—either a simple one-page route brief (Standard) or a detailed buyer packet with KPIs, maps, and transition planning (Premium).

Buyer Sourcing & Offers

We tap into our active buyer network and, with Premium, run targeted outreach to vetted operators and consolidators. Every buyer is pre-screened for funding and experience, and most sellers see real offers within 1–2 weeks. We manage negotiations to maximize price and secure seller-friendly terms.

Close & Transition

Once an offer is accepted, we guide you through contracts, escrow, and payment, ensuring a secure close. We then support the transition with customer notifications, billing handover, and training/ride-alongs, giving both seller and buyer confidence that the accounts will transfer smoothly.

Why Sellers Choose Poolside Business Brokers

A different approach to selling pool routes

Most brokers charge 15–20% for what is largely a listing and coordination service. We think that model is outdated — so we built something more fair, more transparent, and more effective.
