How does selling to Ironwood Royalty work?
You get a free value range, share a few documents, and receive a written offer in 1 to 3 business days. If you accept, we sign the agreement, clear title at our expense, and pay you by wire. Clean, single-owner interests typically close in 15 to 30 days. We are a principal buyer, so there is no broker commission.
The process, step by step
Get your range
Run our free estimator or send us your average monthly check. You get an honest value range up front, before you commit to anything.
Share the details
If you want a firm number, send us your recent check stubs, any division orders, and how you came to own the interest. We use these to verify title and price it accurately.
Receive a written offer
We make a written offer, usually within 1 to 3 business days, and we explain how we reached it, including any undeveloped upside. No countdown clocks.
Sign the agreement
If the number works for you, we sign a purchase and sale agreement and a mineral deed. The price is firm, not subject to a quiet reduction later.
We clear title
We run the title work at our expense. Clean, single-owner interests move fast; if there are heirs or gaps, we help cure them.
Close and get paid
We record the deed in the county where the land sits and pay you by wire. Most clean deals close in 15 to 30 days from accepted offer.
What we buy, in plain terms
We buy cost-free interests: royalty interests, overriding royalty interests, and non-participating royalty interests, where you collect a share of production and bear none of the drilling or operating cost. We prefer producing (PDP) interests that already pay monthly checks, because they price cleanly on cash flow, but we also buy non-producing minerals, both leased acreage waiting on a well and unleased acreage, at honest non-producing values. We do not ask you to take on any cost or liability, and we tell you when keeping the interest is the better move.
When we price a producing interest we normalize everything to net royalty acres, never raw net mineral acres, so a 3/16 or 1/4 lease is credited for the higher revenue it actually carries. See net royalty acre vs net mineral acre for why that distinction can move a number by half or more.
Why there is no commission
A broker lists your interest and takes a percentage, often up to 6 percent, from your proceeds. We are the buyer, not a middleman, so the entire agreed price goes to you. We make our return on the long-term value of the interest, not on a fee carved out of your check.
