Run by a Couple Who've Actually Owned Routes
I'm Tara. As a team, we each ran our own pool service companies for years before starting this brokerage. Most pool route brokers have never cleaned a pool, managed a route, or handled a customer cancellation. We have.
That's the perspective we bring to pricing your route: we know why a tightly clustered 60-account route can be worth more than a 100-account route scattered across three counties, why autopay penetration matters, and what a realistic retention rate looks like during a transition.
Read Our StoryOperator-Level Valuations
We don't use generic multiples. Every valuation reflects real market data, route-specific factors, and our firsthand understanding of pool service operations.
Aligned Incentives
At 12% of the purchase price, we make more when you make more. So our job is to get you the highest price, not to close the fastest deal we can find.
Confidential Process
Your customers, employees, and competitors won't know your route is for sale until you're ready. We market discreetly to pre-qualified buyers only.
How It Works
From first call to closing, we manage every step of the sale. Most routes receive offers within two weeks of listing.
Discovery Call
We ask about your route: account count, monthly revenue, service area, and what you're trying to accomplish. You'll leave the call with a preliminary valuation range and a clear next step.
Valuation & Listing
We price your route using current market comps, account quality metrics, and density analysis, then prepare a listing with detailed financials for qualified buyers.
Buyer Matching
Your route goes to our network of 25+ vetted, high-intent buyers. Every one of them is pre-screened for funding and operational readiness before they see anything.
Close & Transition
We handle contracts, escrow, and payment coordination, then support the full transition: customer notifications, billing handover, and training between parties.
Pricing
Industry-Low Commission, Aligned With Your Success
Traditional pool route brokers charge 16.7% of the purchase price or more. We charge 12%. We'd rather earn our fee through results than pad it into the rate.
Our commission structure means we're financially motivated to get you the highest possible sale price. When you make more, we make more. That alignment is by design.
Our Buyer Network
25+ Vetted, High-Intent Buyers Ready to Close
We don't list your route and hope someone finds it. We actively match it against pre-qualified buyers already in our network: operators and investors who are ready to move, not just browsing.
Every buyer in our network has been vetted for financial capability, operational experience, and genuine intent to purchase. This means faster offers, fewer tire-kickers, and higher close rates for sellers.
Pre-Qualified Funding
Every buyer is verified for financial capability before being presented with opportunities.
Targeted Matching
We match buyers to routes based on location preference, budget, and operational capacity.
Confidential Introductions
Buyer information is shared only with your approval. You stay in control of who sees your route details.
Nationwide Reach
Our buyer network spans all 50 states, from independent operators to multi-route portfolio buyers.
