How much are my mineral rights worth?

The value of mineral rights depends on several factors including location, production history, proven reserves, current market prices, and lease terms. Our experienced team provides free mineral rights appraisal using industry-leading valuation methods. Factors we consider include nearby well production, geological surveys, and current commodity prices.

How do I sell my mineral rights?

Selling mineral rights involves several steps: 1) Contact a reputable mineral rights buyer, 2) Review your deed and title, 3) Receive a transparent valuation explaining the offer, 4) Negotiate terms and closing timeline, 5) Complete title work and documentation, 6) Close the transaction. Buckhead Energy streamlines this process with quick closings and competitive offers.

What is the best company to sell mineral rights to?

The best mineral buying company offers fair market value, transparent pricing, quick closings, and professional service. Look for companies with proven track records, positive landowner reviews, and expertise in your specific basin or region. Buckhead Energy has been acquiring mineral rights since 2007, with successful transactions across 33 states.

Should I sell or lease my mineral rights?

The decision to sell or lease mineral rights depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Selling provides immediate cash with no ongoing management, while leasing offers potential long-term income but requires active management. Consider factors like current commodity prices, development potential, tax implications, and your need for immediate capital.

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the legal rights to extract and profit from minerals beneath the surface of land, including oil, natural gas, coal, and other valuable substances. These rights can be owned separately from surface rights. Mineral rights ownership entitles you to lease payments, royalties from production, and the right to sell these assets.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

The timeline to sell mineral rights typically ranges from 30-90 days, depending on title complexity and documentation requirements. At Buckhead Energy, we streamline the process: initial evaluation and offer within 7-14 days, title review 2-4 weeks, and closing within 30-45 days of accepted offer.
