+ I want to list my water rights for sale or lease, but I don’t know what to include or where to start.

Given the complex nature of water rights, we highly recommend working with a water right professional that can review your water right, help you understand its current value, and help you develop a listing that accurately represents your water right.

Water right listings for sale or lease should include the source of water, the quantity of water available, its current purpose of use, its season of use, its priority date, where it may be able to be used pending state approval, and its likelihood for being curtailed (shut off).

+ I’m interested in leasing or selling my water rights, but I can’t afford to hire a water right professional that can assist me.

Here are three ways to move forward without having upfront costs when selling or leasing water rights: 1) Search active buyers in your area on Western Water Market. Many water right buyers will pay for the water right review, transfer and transaction costs if they feel your water right may be a good fit; 2) Consider listing your water rights for sale or lease on Western Water Market. If you choose to do this without a water right professional, be sure to keep your listing vague to avoid exposing your water rights and providing misinformation; and 3) Search for and work with a water right professional who charges you when a transaction (or sale) is successful, this is also known as a contingency fee.

+ Should I work with a water right professional to help me list as a buyer?

While it’s not required, Western Water Market highly recommends working with a water right professional who can help you evaluate your needs, list as a buyer, respond to inquiries, and execute a successful transfer and transaction. After working with a water right professional, you may even be surprised to learn that in some circumstances you don’t need to acquire a water right or that there are other, less expensive options. This can save you an immense amount of time and money.
