## Answer
Quick answer An unsolicited offer to buy your mineral rights is a letter from a company proposing to purchase your interest, usually because public records show you own producing or leased minerals in an active area. The offer tells you someone sees value in your interest, but a single letter does not establish what the interest is worth, and you are never obligated to respond. It is reasonable to verify the buyer, confirm exactly what is being conveyed, and compare more than one offer before deciding. Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer and provides free written offers with no obligation.
