Three steps: tell us about your New Mexico property (county and, if producing, a recent royalty statement help), we research the wells and activity around it and send a free written offer — typically within 24–48 hours — and if you accept, Buckhead pays the title and closing costs (title research, curative, document preparation, and recording). A seller's own taxes, or advisors the seller separately retains, are not part of Buckhead's closing costs. Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance.
Producing and non-producing mineral rights, royalty interests (including NPRIs and ORRIs), and fractional or undivided interests anywhere in New Mexico. Inherited interests are welcome — we can help complete transfer paperwork as part of closing.
No. Buckhead provides a free written offer. Our offer comes at no cost and no obligation. Because Buckhead is the buyer (not a broker or intermediary), there is no broker commission taken out of your sale. Buckhead pays the title and closing costs (title research, curative, document preparation, and recording). A seller's own taxes, or advisors the seller separately retains, are not part of Buckhead's closing costs.
Compare at least two written offers, and ask each buyer to explain how it valued your interest — production history, decline, operator activity, and your decimal interest should all figure in. Our guide to fair pricing walks through each factor.
The company named on your royalty check stub is your payor — usually the well operator. The largest New Mexico payors by wells operated are Hilcorp Energy Company, Eog Resources, and Oxy. A royalty check from any New Mexico payor is proof of a producing, sellable interest — Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests under every operator in the state.
Two minutes to start. A written offer to consider — no cost, no obligation, no pressure.
