Tiger Stripe Resources, LLC

Welcome to our website.  When I decided to start my own company several years ago, I knew that I wanted to bring to the landman industry a certain level of care and professionalism that was often lacking with other brokers.  As you know, the landman profession is filled with a variety of individuals, from all different walks of life and levels of education.   While you can certainly find a number of grade A landmen, there are also, unfortunately, far too many D's and F's.  For every landman that was in the courthouse from 8 to 5, there was also the landman who only visited the county clerk's office from 10 to 2.  For every landman who understood the records and could explain the doctrine of after-acquired title, there was the landman who could not tell a mineral interest from a royalty interest.  I knew we (ie. the industry) could do better.   I firmly believe that a higher level of quality is not only possible in the landman industry, but should be expected by our clients and ourselves.

At Tiger Stripe, we concentrate our hiring on licensed attorneys, which sets us apart from most brokers.  This fact has caused a bit of controversy at times, so I want to make it clear that our hiring practices are not meant to disparage non-lawyers.   People who know me well will be the first to tell you that in general I am not very fond of lawyers.  I do, however, believe that a law degree is a valuable asset for a landman.  Non-lawyers are always welcome at Tiger Stripe as well, as long as they are actively working towards their RPL/CPL certification.    Regardless of their education or level of experience, I expect all of our landmen to abide by the same standards:  work hard, be respectful, abide by our ethics, be responsible, and, above all, act like a professional.   Slackers, loafers and cheats need not apply. 

I want to personally thank you for taking the time to check out our website and for reading my message.  I know that there are many brokers to choose from in this industry, and it is often difficult to tell one group from the other.  I am confident, however, that if you give us the chance, we will exceed your expectations.  Thank you for considering Tiger Stripe Resources, LLC. 

Sincerely,

Raymond R. Mitchell
