Bad Options to Sell Oil Royalties

  • We buy minerals websites: A quick google search will show you hundreds of websites offering to purchase your mineral rights. You may find a good buyer this way, but it’s also extremely time consuming to visit all these websites.  In addition, you have no idea who you are dealing with.  Is it a legitimate company who pays top dollars or someone trying to take advantage of you?
  • Offers Received in the Mail:  If you’ve owned mineral rights for any length of time, you’ve probably received numerous offers in the mail.  There are a lot of reasons not to accept an offer received in the mail, but that main one is that you’re only working with a single buyer. There’s no guarantee the offer is going to be a fair market price offer.
  • Local Brokers:  Depending on where you live, you may have local brokers in your area or people who buy mineral rights locally.  While you may find a few offers locally, the number of buyers is still limited.  Unlike in housing where people who are local know the pricing, there are mineral rights buyers across the country who will pay top dollar for royalties anywhere in the country.
