Our Practice

An advisory built around a simple conviction.

The schools we represent were built deliberately, over decades, classroom by classroom, family by family. They deserve a sale process that honors that work.

School Brokers, Inc. is a specialist advisory practice serving owners of private preschools, child development centers, and independent schools across California. We work confidentially, on retainer, with a small number of engagements at a time.

01 / Confidentiality

Discretion from the start

Every engagement is handled with complete discretion. Listings are marketed confidentially, and no identifying information is shared until a prospective Buyer has been pre-screened, financially qualified, and has executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

02 / Qualified Buyers

Finding the right Buyer

We carefully evaluate every prospective Buyer for financial capability, operational experience, and long-term fit before facilitating an introduction. Our process prioritizes successful transitions along with smooth transactions.

03 / Legacy

Protecting what you've built

A successful sale is about more than changing ownership. We help structure transitions that preserve your school's culture, support your staff and families, and ensure continuity for the children you serve.
