I struggled getting information or even a response from anyone online after many inquiries on how to disposition mineral rights inherited and then transferred to a Trust. After reading positive reviews about US Mineral Exchange and reading about their approach to ensure their clients get top dollar for mineral rights, I reached out to the US Mineral Exchange team. They quickly helped me understand the process, and very quickly after moving forward with them I had multiple competing offers. The trust received more than expected based on other inquiries and in a much shorter timeframe. I am very satisfied with my experience with US Mineral Exchange. Terra specifically was very attentive and made the transaction very easy.read more

My mother inherited Mineral Rights from her mother. There was no drilling in the area, so I reached out via email to US Mineral Exchange to possibly selling them.
I could not believe how easy the process was. Within weeks, we received almost 4X from what we thought they would sell for.
Terra made the process so easy. We just signed some paperwork and the funds were in my mother's account.
To anyone that wants to sell their mineral rights, I highly recommend this company.
Thank you again!!read more

As someone who inherited a small amount of mineral right acreage in a state over a 1,000 from where I lived I had no idea of what to do with the mineral rights. I received an offer that I thought was reasonable but had no idea how to check. I stumbled across US Mineral Exchange via a Google search and reached out to them. Terra was my point of contact and walked me through the process. I decided to give it a shot to see what would happen and Terra was able to secure a buyer who paid nearly three times as much as the original offer.
If you have mineral rights you are considering disposing of I would highly recommend reaching out to US Mineral Exchange. Terra was able to get me far more value than I ever imagined I would receive for the minerals.read more

Garrett of USME couldn't have done more for our mineral rights sale. I had no experience or insight into the mineral market. Garrett walked me through the market for our holdings and provided all the process details. His insight into recent changes in our area allowed us to sell our mineral rights for twice the offers we received in the mail. Thanks USME!read more

He ensured that I received the highest possible offer for my mineral rights and that I had all of the required information to make the best decision possible.

After searching the internet for information on mineral rights property valuation, I found a company that acts as a broker for listing your property to all interested mineral buyers in the country. For years I received offers about selling my property. I had no way to know if an offer was indeed the best offer? US Mineral Exchange listed my property. They found a buyer that met and exceeded my price. I am very satisfied with my sale and highly recommend their service if you are looking to sell your rights.read more

Choosing the right broker was a decision we approached with great care. We conducted extensive research on brokers, read reviews, and sought advice from our banker and mineral rights lawyer—both of whom have significant experience working with brokers. From the start, Garrett Phelan stood out as a man of the highest integrity and values. It was truly refreshing to do business with someone who genuinely had our best interests at heart. Working with Garrett Phelan at US Mineral Exchange was an absolute pleasure.
Garrett provided invaluable strategic guidance on timing and skillfully addressed our family's concerns, as this was an inheritance with many opinions involved. He kept us reassured and calm during the more stressful moments and navigated every challenge with confidence and professionalism. Garrett approached each roadblock thoughtfully, presenting the pros and cons objectively without ever pressuring us to make a decision. His transparency and leadership built an incredible level of trust.
If you are thinking of selling your mineral rights, consider having a conversation with Garrett. His advice is thorough and reliable, and his expertise and integrity make a remarkable difference. If you choose to go forward, Garrett is the perfect partner as a broker. Thank you, Garrett, for your outstanding service!read more

My father-in-law inherited mineral rights in Texas that were largely incomprehensible to us. Over the years, he received many offers from a variety of companies to sell his mineral rights, some of which seemed to be for paltry amounts, whereas one or two were for more substantial sums. Consequently, we had no idea what his rights might be worth and knew that we would be totally out of our depth if we attempted to negotiate a sale ourselves. After searching online, I came across US Mineral Exchange, and we decided to seek their advice. From our first contact with their representative, Terra, we were put at ease and made to feel that we were dealing with professionals who really understood this complex business. Terra explained many of the complexities of mineral rights to us and helped us navigate the sale. She always kept us fully informed about potential bids and educated us about matters such as title searches etc. Once my father-in-law accepted a bid, and title was established, the closing went very smoothly and quickly. We were delighted with the sale amount, and we are very happy that we sought the professional expertise of US Mineral Exchange.read more

First time on the US Mineral Exchange and it was a home run! Although I had received several written offers to buy my Mineral rights, I didn’t know if the offers were “fair market value”. I decided my best option was use the US Mineral Exchange instead, because there is a larger mineral buyer network from all over the country which drives up prices. I listed with the US Mineral Exchange for 30 days but received 4-5 offers within just a few days well above the top written offers I had previously received in the mail or email. In fact the company with the best written offer tried their best to convince me to accept their offer, rather than going to the US Mineral Exchange. I’m so glad I declined and chose to use the US Mineral Exchange instead, because I closed in about 2 weeks and received almost DOUBLE the amount I would have received had I accepted the written offer. I am a firm believer in the many benefits of listing with the US Mineral Exchange!read more

We recently sold our mineral acres through U.S. Mineral Exchange. We had an offer from the current lease holders, but wanted to see if others might be interested. Garrett was very professional and communicative throughout the process. His knowledge of this industry is extensive. We sold for about 40% more than the offer we had received after several offers came in. We couldn't be happier with Garrett and U.S. Mineral Exchange.read more

Working with Garrett was truly a pleasure. I had read reviews before I used U.S.Mineral Exchange because I am always leary of the business world these days. But just after talking to him a couple of minutes I felt his honesty and sincerity. I didn't post on Google because I don't want to be connected to Google but this is an honest review.if I was going to buy or sell mineral rights in the future I wouldn't hesitate to call Garrett for he's good at his job and it's like working with a friend.read more

My wife and I just completed the sale of an inherited mineral interest in Texas. We had absolutely no clue how to initiate the process, ensure a fair market value sale, and most importantly find a trustworthy advisor to assist us. We really lucked out in finding Garrett Phelan and the US Mineral Exchange. Garrett was always available to talk us through the process each step of the way from the very initial phase of seeking buyers all the way to our closing on the sale. At first, we were naturally skeptical given our inexperience. Garrett was always there to answer questions and spent extra time validating our natural concerns but provided the confidence to help us navigate each step. Our transaction was seamless and worked out exactly how Garrett had explained from the very first call we had with him. Oh and might I add, we received a substantially higher sale price than any direct mail/direct call offer we continually received over the years. We cannot recommend Garrett and USME enough and are thankful we had him in our corner to make the dream of selling the interest into a reality. Thank you Garrett and USME!read more

In an industry rife with con men, I cannot recommend the honesty and integrity of Garrett at US Mineral Exchange enough!
I inherited mineral rights 30 years ago. When I’d considered selling in the past, the refrain has always been- “Don’t sell! Never sell!” Since I became a mother however, the desire for a solid nest egg for myself and my child (that isn’t subject to the whims of a very volatile industry) became increasingly important. It’s a big, and personal choice, but for myself, I have zero doubt that selling and having a more diverse investment portfolio was the best decision I could’ve made.
Before Garrett, I had received several offers in the mail, and phone calls from various buyers who seemed legit and ‘salt of the earth’ type of people.
***WORD TO THE WISE***
Most of these guys have zero intention of honoring the amount they offer you! “Flipping” your rights seems to be common practice here. What they do is offer you a high amount and then come back and claim there are issues with the title work etc and offer you significantly less. But you can’t do anything about it because you’ve already signed the deed. They then turn around and sell your rights to another buyer for a much higher price. Don’t fall for this gag!
Thankfully I reached out to a trusted mineral rights lawyer based out of Texas, Aimee Hess. (Side note- If you need an incredible lawyer, she’s your gal! I also asked her, in addition to Garrett, to look over any and all contracts before signing anything.) When I reached out, Aimee told me other clients of hers had been very happy with their experience with Garrett at US Mineral Exchange, adding, “He really has the seller’s best interests at heart.”
I couldn’t be happier with the decision to go with USME. It was worth every penny of the commission to know I was protected, dealing with a straightforward person, and getting the most possible for my rights. He got me nearly double even seemingly legit previous offers. I’m beyond pleased! Everything moved along smoothly and efficiently. He explained the whole process, and answered all of my many questions with patience and clarity.
Garrett at US Mineral Exchange is honest. He is straightforward. He’s knowledgeable. He’s connected. He’s reputable. He’s pleasant. And he’s effective. It’s a no brainer to go with these guys.read more

We recently engaged US Mineral Exchange to help us sell our oil royalties and found them to be very professional, highly knowledgeable, and able to find a perfect buyer in short order. Initially, we attempted to sell our royalties on our own, but went with US Mineral Exchange when they freely responded to our many questions about the sale process and explained how they could help. Indeed, they found several potential buyers willing to pay more than we found on our own. They were easy to work with, responded quickly to our communications, and effectively closed the transaction in a short timeframe. We highly recommend engaging their services and would like to especially commend Garrett Phelan for his professional work.read more

I recommend U. S. Minerals if you want or need to sell Mineral Rights. The decision to sell and how to sell is not easy. Taxes, possible future income, duration, possible future activity may not be definable. We have received multiple unsolicited offers for several years. Some low and some high, which only complicated the decision. U. S. Minerals has a good web site that can help your knowledge. Garrett with U. S. Minerals patiently explained the process of how they list and answered several questions for a couple of weeks. Once a commitment to sell was made Garrett continued to guide us through the process of clarifying the title with the buyer. Commitment to sell to funds in the bank was 3 ½ weeks. We believe we received a reasonable price for our rights.read more

I inherited mineral rights and really didn't know what they were worth or how to sell them. I received occasional offers from private companies to buy them, but was concerned that they might be worth more. I'm so glad that I listed my mineral rights with the US Mineral Exchange.

Within 2 weeks, I sold my rights for two and a half times my previous offer and the money was in the bank the very next day!read more

I don’t know where to begin. My experience with Garrett at the Mineral Exchange was stellar. I went into the process as a total layman from the east coast. He explained the whole process, and was so kind and patient throughout. He never made any moves without consulting with me and getting my input. We ended up getting and offer for 75% more than the listed/appraisal price. His guidance and gentle demeanor was so reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to ever do business with him in the future. I cannot recommend them enough!read more

I inherited some oil and gas royalties from my mother. I truly had no idea what to do with them until I received an unsolicited offer to buy them. I had a pretty good idea that the offer was probably not the best I could expect. In doing my research on both the company and the person, I selected Garrett Phelan at US Mineral Exchange. Garrett walked me though the process and was confident that we could get a "substantially better offer". His assessment was correct and we had multiple offers in a very short period of time. My recommendation is to hire competent professionals, like Garrett, to guide you through the process.read more

She was also professional in that she paid attention to every detail, down to indicating the paper size that was required for printing our documents! She kept us informed at every step of the process. She clearly knows her field well and made suggestions that allowed us to receive an excellent price for our rights. I would highly recommend using USME for any sale you are considering.read more

My aging mother-in-law needed to sell some mineral rights in Oklahoma and Kansas. I was the family member "appointed" to find a buyer(s). I knew NOTHING about energy or mineral rights. However, I "stumbled" onto the US Mineral Exchange website and connected with their rep Terra Castagna. Terra patiently explained their process for getting rights evaluated and sold. The value of our rights did not meet the threshold for their usual sales, but Terra offered to make our rights known to potential buyers of smaller positions. In a very short time several buyers expressed interest and we quickly reached an agreement with one who was willing to buy both rights. We could not be happier with the service provided by US Mineral Exchange, and in particular, with Terra Costagna, and would unreservedly endorse their services.read more

Selling oil and mineral rights is not a common practice, or at least not for us. We went from "how on earth will we do this and do it right" to a very successful sale in record time. I am so happy that we found US Mineral Exchange. From the first phone call they were professional, answered all of my questions, and walked me through every step of the process with calm professionalism, and brought a price exceeding our expectations. From a seller's perspective, it could not have gone better! I wholeheartedly recommend US Mineral Exchange and gladly serve as a reference.read more

My husband William Ware acquired Mineral Rights through his late Grandmother. We worked with Terra at US Mineral Exchange to begin the decisions to sell our rights. She responded to every question, even ones that to her were probably silly, she did it professionally and with kindness. When it came time to decide if we wanted to take the offer we received from a buyer, she didn't pressure us but gave us educated advise. I can't recommend this company enough!read more

I inherited mineral rights that have been in the family for decades. I enjoyed the monthly income but remained mostly ignorant of the whole oil/gas industry. Out of the blue I got an unsolicited offer to buy them which seemed an attractive option I had never looked into. I immediately ended up "down the rabbit hole" of how confusing this would be. In my on-line search for information I found US Mineral Exchange. After careful evaluation of the whole situation I engaged them as my broker, to list my minerals for sale. They helped me settle on a buyer, and they negotiated a purchase agreement that protected my interests better than I ever could have done on my own. During all the complicated and uncertain parts of closing the deal, I felt assured that Garrett and Eric and Terra were looking out for me and keeping me informed of the progress. The deal is now closed, the money is in the bank! I'm confident I got top dollar for my minerals, and having experienced industry professionals on my side kept me from worrying through the entire process. I am so glad I hired US Mineral Exchange.read more

After some research on how to sell the family mineral rights in North Dakota I was impressed with the US Mineral Exchange website. An initial contact with Terra got me started gathering documents to use to post the sale on the website. About one week after posting, Garrett suggested we request a best and final offer. Within a couple of days I had a final offer and we completed the deal, after exchanging paperwork, which took a couple more days. The service was fast, excellent and beyond my expectations. We received more for the rights than an offer I had received and more than I had expected. Terra and Garrett at the US Mineral Exchange were great at walking me through the process, answering my questions, and guiding me through the paperwork. I would recommend the US Mineral Exchange to anyone who is interested in selling their mineral rights.read more

Eric and Garrett were phenomenal in walking my family and I through the process of selling our mineral rights and essentially made it an effortless and painless experience. Whenever I had a question, they were quick to respond, very informative, and were both well above expectations in regard to their professionalism.
I walked in to this process (even after extensive research) with an unsettling feeling not knowing much about how mineral rights were valued, how complicated or not the process of selling was from start to finish, and whether or not I was taking the right approach. Needless to say, my experience with them and the US Mineral Exchange before, during, and after the process alleviated that unsettling feeling swiftly.
To anyone who is uncertain about this process as I was, rest assured that there are great safeguards in place through the US Mineral Exchange to protect you, your mineral rights, and is completely risk, and obligation free to pursue. This process is much easier and efficient in comparison to dealing with letters and phone calls from buyers on a case by case basis which can be tedious, stressful, and raises too many questions. The first obviously was "Is this the most I can get for my mineral rights?". This process through the US Mineral Exchange drives competition from many potential buyers which will maximize and define true value. I ended up selling my rights for 163% more than the highest offer letter I received over the course of the last 10 years.
In conclusion, any potentiial seller who is even a tad curious, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and the best part is, it didn't cost one cent out of my pocket to sell or inquire about selling. Thank you Eric and Garrett for making this experience great, and effortless.read more

My husband and I have had many purchases of mineral from U.S. Mineral Exchange. We have had many transactions with Garret and he has always been very professional. We have never had an issue with U.S. Mineral Exchange. They are very trustworthy and always above board. Their staff is always professional and they give excellent customer service. Our most recent business deal was in selling some mineral rights and had the pleasure of working with Terra. Terra was every bit as professional as Garret and followed through with great integrity. We highly recommend U.S. Mineral Exchange to anyone looking to buy or sell minerals for any dollar amount. We are looking forward to doing more business in the future with U.S. Mineral Exchange. They truly are the best in this business..
Very pleased clients,

USME orchestrated the sale of our family mineral rights. We already had a pretty high offer, but they were able to find us a buyer willing to pay even more, after a short auction (less than a week).

Years ago I inherited Mineral Rights---but that's all I knew! Had NO idea what they really were or how to determine their value! I'd received lots of unsolicited offers with a variety of purchase amounts over the years. When I finally decided to sell my Rights, I had NO CLUE how best to help myself in this process! Research kept pointing me to US Mineral Exchange---and it was the smartest call I could have made!! Garrett, my agent, was professional, patient, informative, prompt, insisted I feel No Pressure and that I understood all Final Decisions with regard to their sale were mine alone. He "walked next to me" from Start to Sale! If you, too, don't know what your Oil, Gas or Mineral rights can mean for you in that market place, contact USME and get educated! Guaranteed---you won't regret it!! I had an all-around EXCELLENT experience! Thanks, Garrett.read more

We had inherited property when my Mom passed and honestly we didn't know what to do with it. We were getting paid $17.00 in royalties a year and paying $398. in taxes. So my brothers and I decided to sell. So I did a lot of Googling and found US Mineral Exchange, I liked that they were local, same state as me. I filled out their questionnaire and sent it off and in less than 45 minutes I got a phone call from a person not some computer and such. Now I have to say that the people at US Mineral Exchange were so helpful and patient with explaining what paperwork I needed to find and how to get titles straightened out, and when there was a blip they were very nice on helping me learn what was needed to be done to smooth things out. So in my opinion if you have some mineral rights and would like to sell them contact Jeff at the US Mineral Exchange . Like I said very knowledgeable, helpful, quick in returning emails or phone calls and worked hard to get us the best price. All around a very good experience I would highly recommend them.read more

Eric and Garrett were very professional and answered all my questions along the way, even on a holiday weekend, which made it very smooth and stress free for us.They not only got us more than we expected for our mineral rights, but they also understood that we were hoping to get the transaction completed in a short amount of time. They not only did this, but got it done even sooner than we had hoped, and the funds into our account in a very quick manner. We are nearing retirement and I have had health issues recently, so decided to move forward on buying the travel trailer we dreamed of having when we retired. Selling our mineral rights made that dream come true for us, and Eric and Garrett helped us achieve that goal without worry. The trailer we had our eye on, the Airstream Nest, just came out last month and we had a vacation planned at the end of this month. By getting the funds from our sale in a timely manner, we were able to get the one the dealer had coming off the assembly line in time to take on vacation with us! Otherwise it would have been at least a 6 week wait. Our dream of owning an Airstream is coming true! We are so grateful to Eric and Garrett for their superb service! I highly recommend using US Mineral Exchange!read more

It was a pleasant experience doing business with US Exchange.
Both Eric Winegar and later, Garrett Phelan were patient with me and my questions.
They are truly professional, and knowledgeable.
I am from California and I had some mineral acreage in Texas I wanted to sell. But I had zero experience in this sort of thing, i.e how to advertise, how to approach my target audience; I didn't even know what the true value of my property was. Through the years of my owning the property, I had offers to buy it, ranging from $300 to $1400 per acre.
I found US Mineral Exchange from my google search.
I was impressed with the positive reviews, and was greatly reassured after talking with Eric.
It took less than 4 months for my property to get sold.
The Company did all the leg work for me, including screening for the best offers.
Because the commission the Company gets comes from the buyer, not the seller, people like me are assured that whatever final figures that are arrived at, are the best.read more

My sister and I recently inherited mineral rights. Frankly, we had no idea what they were or where to go for help if we wanted to sell them. I was very worried our ignorance on the subject would put us at a real disadvantage.
I found information about the US Mineral Exchange on a royalty owners website. Jeff educated, counseled and guided us through every step. He was always responsive within 24 hours, taking the time to explain current market trends that might affect our decisions. I asked a million questions and got detailed responses - sometimes more than once...or twice...or as many times as I needed in order to understand. Jeff was patient and thorough. At every turn I felt confident we knew our options. We could not have asked for better representation and guidance. I always felt we were as much a priority as their biggest client.
In the end, we sold 35 of our 100+ mineral acres, and I am convinced that there was no other place we could have received the kind of comprehensive, expert service we did at the Mineral Exchange. It is with absolutely no reservation that I recommend them to everyone - knowledgeable or not - who is looking for help selling minerals. And, the best part is...we did not pay anything out of pocket for their expert attention. We kept 100% of the selling price!
I am convinced my sister and I received the best possible representation, plus…we had the bonus of working with the most knowledgeable and pleasant people on the planet - my "friends" at the US Mineral Exchange.read more

My aunt and myself owned mineral shares on adjacent parcels of land in Eddy county, New Mexico. We both received offers in the mail to purchase those rights. After contacting one of those companies, my aunt and I both experienced high pressure sales pitches. My aunt ended up selling her mineral rights to one of these companies. I did some research on the internet, and contacted the US Mineral Exchange. I received more than 6 times the amount per acre my aunt received. She was bullied and harassed and intimidated into selling her rights. My experience with the mineral exchange could not have been more different. After listing, offers came in quickly, and were relayed to me without any high pressure sales or suggestion that I must act quickly or lose the opportunity. Contact with Eric from the US Mineral Exchange was always pleasant, he was polite and supportive, and provided information which helped me make my decision to sell without feeling pressured. I could not be more pleased, and only wish my aunt had known about it in time to benefit. I highly, highly recommend the service. Once the sale was complete and documents filed, payment was promptly and securely relayed to my bank. There was no cost to me, no high pressure sales, and I received so much more money for my mineral rights. Thank you, thank you, thank you. sincerely, Deanna Brown of Utah.read more
