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.
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, we can help complete the transfer paperwork as part of closing. See the inherited mineral rights guide.
Leased or unleased: an active lease doesn't prevent a sale — the buyer simply takes the interest subject to the lease terms.
Three legitimate ways to sell — here's how they differ, so you can pick what fits.
One written offer, no commission — you keep 100%
Fastest path: 30–45 days start to funding
Private — your interest is never shopped around
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
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
Whichever route you choose, a free written offer from a direct buyer is a useful benchmark. Full comparison: how to compare mineral rights buyers.
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. If we find title gaps (a missed probate, an old misindexed deed), we work with you to cure them rather than walking away.
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.
Funding: funds wire to your account at closing — no escrow games, no "payment after recording" delays. The deed and the wire move together.
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 — and a 1099 at tax time; see how mineral rights sales are taxed.

Complete the form on this page with your property details (state, county, and a recent royalty statement help). Our team reviews current production and well data, verifies your interest, and sends a free written offer — typically with an initial response within 24 hours. The process is free with no obligation. See our step-by-step guide.
No. The valuation and written offer are completely free, with no obligation to accept. If you sell, Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer purchasing with our own capital — there are no broker commissions, and we handle and pay for title and closing costs.
At minimum, the state and county of your minerals and your name as it appears on title. A recent royalty check stub or division order speeds things up because it shows your decimal interest and operator. If you only have a lease or a deed, that works too — we can research the rest from public records.
A broker or auction markets your interest to third parties for a commission and can take months. As a direct buyer, Buckhead Energy makes the offer itself, with no commission and a faster close (typically 30–45 days). Compare the routes in how to choose a buyer.
A competitive offer reflects current market value based on production history, decline, operator quality, remaining drilling locations, your interest, and commodity prices. We explain how we reached the number. Read the 9 factors that change an offer and how to tell if an offer is fair.
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.
