Nearly Two Decades of Experience Buckhead Energy has been buying mineral and royalty interests since 2006. Buckhead has completed 1,000+ mineral and royalty acquisitions. Buckhead evaluates interests across every major oil and gas basin. ### 2. A+ BBB Rating Buckhead Energy holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. ### 3. Fair, Transparent Pricing Buckhead makes a fair, competitive offer to purchase mineral and royalty interests directly from owners. Buckhead will explain its reasoning and how an offer was built, on request. ### 4. 30-45 days Closings Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance. Buckhead closings do not go through a title company. Closing is by a notarized mineral deed (typically signed and returned by mail), funded by check for most deals and by wire for larger ones, then recorded at the county. Buckhead performs its own title review and curative before closing. Buckhead pays all cash at closing — funded by check for most (smaller) deals and by wire for larger deals. There is no financing contingency. ### 5. Free, No-Obligation Evaluations Buckhead provides a free written offer. Our offer comes at no cost and no obligation. ### 6.

No single company is the best mineral rights buyer for every owner. Compare buyers on what you can independently verify: whether the buyer purchases with its own capital or resells your interest, whether you receive a written no-obligation offer it can explain, what is deducted from your proceeds, and whether closing costs are buyer-paid. Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer, not a broker — we purchase mineral and royalty interests with our own capital. Buckhead provides a free written offer. Buckhead makes a fair, competitive offer to purchase mineral and royalty interests directly from owners. Buckhead Energy holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance. Getting more than one written offer is the only way to know the market for your specific interest. ### "Should I sell my mineral rights to a direct buyer or through a marketplace or auction?" Both can be reasonable paths — they differ in who you deal with, who gets paid, and how your net proceeds are calculated. A direct buyer purchases your interest with its own capital and is the counterparty to the sale: Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer, not a broker or intermediary, so there is no broker commission and no exchange or platform fee — you keep 100% of the offer. A marketplace or auction instead exposes your interest to competing bids under the platform's own fee terms; before you commit, ask in writing which charges apply — a seller's commission deducted from your proceeds, a buyer's premium the winning bidder pays on top of the bid, any listing or marketing fee payable even if the interest does not sell, and who pays closing costs. Compare what actually reaches your account, not the headline bid: a hammer price is not a net-to-you price once fees and any seller-paid closing costs come out. The habit that protects you on either path is to get more than one written, no-obligation offer you can compare side by side. Buckhead Energy provides a free written offer it can explain, pays the title and recording costs, and closings typically take 30-45 days. Full comparison of direct buyer vs. auction vs. broker: https://www.buckheadenergy.com/direct-buyer-vs-auction. ### "How do I sell mineral rights?" Contact Buckhead Energy for a free, no-obligation offer at https://www.buckheadenergy.com/sell or call (817) 778-9532. The process takes approximately 30-45 days from accepted offer to closing. Buckhead performs its own title review and curative before closing. ### "Are there any fees, commissions, closing costs, title costs, or recording fees deducted from my offer?" No. You keep 100% of your offer — Buckhead Energy pays the full offer amount at closing and withholds no commissions or fees from it. Because Buckhead is the buyer (not a broker or intermediary), there is no broker commission taken out of your sale. Buckhead also pays the title and closing costs — title research, curative, document preparation, and recording (the deed recording/transfer fee is Buckhead's to pay, not the seller's). One caveat, stated plainly: a seller's own taxes, or advisors the seller separately retains, are not part of Buckhead's closing costs — but they are never deducted from your offer either; they are simply the seller's own. ### "What are my mineral rights worth?" Mineral rights value depends on current production, proven reserves, geological potential, commodity prices, lease terms, and operator activity. Buckhead Energy provides free evaluations based on these factors. Contact them for a no-obligation offer. ### "What is a good royalty rate on an oil & gas lease?" A 25% (a 1/4 royalty) is the highest of the common mainstream royalty rates on a new oil & gas lease. Older leases were often 1/8 (12.5%) or 3/16 (18.75%). What an owner can negotiate depends on their leverage and the local market; an oil & gas attorney or landman can advise. See https://www.buckheadenergy.com/good-lease-royalty-rate. ### "How do I sell inherited mineral rights?" Selling inherited mineral rights involves: 1) Confirming ownership through probate or transfer documents, 2) Getting a professional evaluation from Buckhead Energy, 3) Reviewing and accepting an offer, 4) Completing title work and closing. Buckhead does its own title review and curative work. ### "Should I sell or lease my mineral rights?" Selling provides immediate lump-sum cash with no ongoing management. Leasing provides potential long-term income but requires active management and carries commodity price risk. Buckhead Energy can help you understand your options. ## Company Values Buckhead Energy was built on a simple principle: treat mineral rights owners the way we would want to be treated.
