Who we are
We’ve Sat On Your Side Of The Table.
Bluewater Brokerage wasn’t started by financiers who discovered the pool industry. Bill and Sharon Burch purchased and built a pool service company from the operator’s seat, grew revenue 50% and doubled net profit in 18 months, then sold it on their own terms. When they went looking for a broker who actually understood the business, they couldn’t find one. So they became it.
Over 30 years business creation, acquisition, operation, and sale of businesses experience. Unmatched entrepreneurial experience in the brokerage industry.
A Fair, Well-Informed Deal - On Both Sides Of The Table
Most owners get one shot at selling the business they spent a career building, and most buyers are trusting a broker who’s experience of completing an entire business cycle is limited or non-existent. never run a route. We are different. We’ve lived the entrepreneur’s business lifecycle ourselves well over a dozen times. We’ve used different brokerages. Now we exist to help you get the best results whether you are buying or selling. We’ve been in the buyer’s chair, the seller’s chair, the startup entrepreneurs chair, and more.
