How we're different

We're the buyer, not the middleman

Most companies that deal in water rights are brokers: they list your rights, look for a buyer, and take a commission. We work differently. We buy directly with our own funds, charge no commission, and handle the ADWR filings, title, and escrow ourselves. Here is how that works, and how it compares.

1

Request an offer

Reach out and request an offer. Tell us a little about your water rights and where they are located. There is no account to create and nothing to upload yet.

Not sure what you have, or can't find the paperwork? Give us your name and the county where the rights are located, and we'll look up the official ADWR records for you.

Review your offer

We review your documents against the official Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) records to confirm what you hold and what type it is, then call you with a competitive cash offer and explain how we arrived at the number. Ask us anything. If you would like to proceed, we move forward. If not, there is no obligation and no follow-up pressure.

Sign and receive payment

Once we agree on a price, we prepare the paperwork. You sign and notarize the deed. We handle the ADWR filings, the title work, and escrow. When the documents are recorded, we wire your payment.

What we handle, and what a broker leaves to you

We buy water rights directly, so the work that a traditional broker passes back to you stays with us.
