Sell, Lease, or Wait?
The three paths price the same minerals three different ways. Here is the honest comparison:
The verdict: leasing is a bet that drilling happens and pays; selling is a certain price for handing that bet to someone else; waiting keeps every risk on your side of the table. There is no universal answer — but there is a universal move: get the purchase-offer number in writing, get the lease terms in writing, and decide with both in hand. Full comparison: sell or lease your mineral rights?. General tax notes only — confirm your situation with a CPA.
What We Buy
Every kind of oil & gas interest a mineral owner holds — producing or not, whole or fractional.
Mineral rights (producing): you receive royalty checks today — your production history is the core of our valuation, and a recent check stub is usually all we need to start. Not sure who your operator is? Look up the payor on your check.
Mineral rights (non-producing): no wells yet, but leasing and drilling activity around your tract still gives your acreage real value.
Royalty interests: the right to production income without executive rights — including NPRIs and ORRIs.
Fractional & undivided interests: a 1/64th passed down through three generations is still worth a written offer — we buy interests other buyers pass over.
Inherited minerals: mid-probate or long-settled. See the inherited mineral rights guide, ancillary probate for minerals in another state, and state guides such as inherited West Virginia mineral rights.
Leased or unleased: an active lease doesn't prevent a sale — the buyer simply takes the interest subject to the lease terms.

Direct Sale vs. Listing or Brokering
Three legitimate ways to sell — here's how they differ, so you can pick what fits.
Direct sale (what we do)
One written offer, no commission — you keep 100%
Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance.
Private — your interest is never shopped around
Broker or agent
Markets your interest to multiple buyers for a commission
Can surface competing bids on larger, high-value packages
Typically slower, and the commission comes out of your proceeds
Listing marketplace
You post the interest and wait for bids
Exposure varies; fees and timelines differ by platform
Works best when you're in no hurry and enjoy managing the process

After You Accept: What Closing Actually Looks Like
The part most buyers don't explain up front — here's the whole runway.
Title verification (we pay for it): our team confirms your ownership in the county records — typically the longest step, two to four weeks.
The deed: a mineral and royalty deed conveying exactly the interest described in your offer — nothing more. You sign before a notary; many sellers have their attorney review it first, and we encourage that.
Payment: Buckhead pays the full purchase price in cash, with no financing contingency. Payment is typically made by check after the deed is recorded. Timing varies with title review and county recording, and we keep you updated along the way.
Afterward: we record the deed (and pay recording costs), notify the operator, and division orders transfer to us. You'll receive a copy of everything for your records. Buckhead does not issue a Form 1099 for a mineral or royalty purchase. Consult a CPA or tax attorney about reporting the sale. See how mineral rights sales are taxed.

Buyers appear when operators begin leasing, permitting, or pooling near your tract — all public records. The four common triggers: a new play identified, permits filed nearby, a rig working close, or a pooling application naming your section. Not sure who is contacting you? See our field guide to the companies that buy mineral rights and how to tell a broker from a direct buyer.
It depends where your tract sits in the drilling cycle and whether you value certainty over upside. Leasing pays a bonus plus royalties IF drilling happens; selling converts everything to certain cash now. See the sell-lease-wait comparison below.
