How to Calculate Mineral Rights Value (2026 Guide)
Mineral rights value depends on several factors, but it can be estimated once you understand how buyers evaluate them.
There’s no exact calculation like Zillow for homes. But when you know what drives pricing, you can get very close to a realistic range.
Here’s what determines mineral rights value and how to estimate it:
Key factors buyers focus on include:
• Why two buyers can offer very different prices for the same minerals
• How to get a realistic estimate of market value
This guide walks you through how buyers evaluate mineral rights so you can make informed decisions.
How to Calculate Mineral Rights Value
Mineral rights value is calculated by evaluating current production, future drilling potential, operator activity, and location. Buyers use these factors to estimate future cash flow and determine what they are willing to pay. Because each property is different, value is usually expressed as a range rather than a fixed number.
Here’s a simple way to estimate mineral rights value:
Steps to Estimate Mineral Rights Value
Step 1: Review current production and monthly revenue
Step 2: Evaluate future drilling potential and undeveloped acreage
Step 3: Consider operator activity and development history
Step 4: Analyze location, including basin and county
Step 5: Compare recent offers or market activity
Step 6: Estimate a value range based on buyer assumptions

Widely recognized as an industry expert, with an unwavering commitment to a client-first philosophy and extensive industry knowledge, he has been featured in Hart Energy, Yahoo Finance, and the Permian Basin Petroleum Association magazine.
Key Factors in Mineral Rights Pricing
Let’s start with a few basics: below is a list of some key factors considered by the mineral rights buyers who you’re looking to sell to.
- The Basin—i.e. Permian, Delaware, Eagle Ford, etc. The Permian as a whole, which includes the Delaware, is the most productive basin in the world—and if Texas as a whole were a nation, it would be near the top in both oil and natural gas production. Minerals buyers in major producing basins—where there are extensive support systems and pipelines in place—will actively compete there, paying more than they will for minerals in basins with less production and infrastructure.
- Who Is the Operator—Companies with large leases may pay differently from those with smaller ones; and some with a more aggressive drilling plan may pay more than those focused on capital discipline—meaning paying dividends to investors—instead of drilling.
- Number of Wells Already Drilled—The presence of existing wells means nearby production is proven and at least somewhat predictable for the buyer, reducing risk and possibly increasing what they are willing to pay you.
- Number of Wells Yet to be Drilled—If the producer is planning to drill more wells in an existing field, this can boost the price of your royalties because buyers expect them to pay off.
- Production from Nearby Wells—Similar to number of wells already drilled.
- Decline Curve for Existing Wells—Shale wells, the current focus of almost all oil companies, produce the vast majority of their oil in the first two years, while vertical wells may maintain much of their production level for decades. So if your minerals involve mostly older shale wells, their value will be lower than where there is current/future drilling.
- Nearby Pipeline Infrastructure—Three main things come from a well: oil, natural gas, and water, and all must have somewhere to go (known as takeaway capacity) for the minerals to have value. Natural gas is currently the most challenged of the three, but takeaway capacity for any of the three depends on your minerals’ location.
- Oil and Gas Pricing—Driving seasons, supply/demand, pipeline availability, world events, and other variables affect this locally and worldwide.
- Royalty Rate—This is your percentage of the sales price of the produced minerals on your lease, typically 12.5%-25%. This affects the price buyers will offer.
- Active Permits—When permits are active, the paperwork is in place for drilling to begin. That speeds up the drilling process, which can cause buyers to bid higher.
- Expired Permits—If permits for your area have expired, the renewal process could delay drilling and production of your minerals, reducing the buyer’s bid. Or it could mean producers have decided there are no minerals to be profitably produced at current prices, so there might never be production in that area. In that case mineral rights bids could be low or non-existent.
- Surrounding Permit Activity—If your minerals are in a newly permitted area the value may be lower because production there hasn’t been proven. Where there are existing permits and activity buyers usually pay more.
- Surrounding Rig Activity—Rig activity leads to production, leading to profits for minerals buyers, increasing what they may pay for your minerals. Less rig activity may mean producers feel there are few or no more prospects to be drilled.
- Many other factors are also in operation.
That’s an overview of the big picture. Now let’s examine some processes buyers use to evaluate minerals.
Ways Buyers Evaluate Minerals, and Why Offers Vary
Even when there is active drilling and production near your minerals, it’s more complicated than simply learning what a neighbor’s minerals are worth. Here are some reasons why.
Let’s say you have mineral rights with a 12.5% lease, and there are eight horizontal wells on your land. Meanwhile, your neighbor has a 25% lease but it contains only one vertical well from 1950. A couple of months ago a major operator started drilling ten new wells on their section.
Even though you’re just next door, your mineral rights might be worth $1,000 per acre, while your neighbor’s could be $30,000 or more per acre. The difference would likely be based on factors like activity and lease terms.
That’s why there’s no average price per acre for mineral rights. Every situation is unique. Your lease agreement terms, your lease royalty percentage, your ownership type, etc. all make a difference in the average price per acre for mineral rights.
Gross Acres vs Net Acres
One key detail in mineral values involves the difference between gross acres and net acres.
Gross acres measures the physical location of your ownership. You’ll see these on your deed or lease—usually as round numbers like 40, 80, or 160 acres. That’s where many owners assume they own more than they actually do.
But when it comes to calculating value, all that matters is your net mineral acres—your actual ownership portion of those gross acres. That number is rarely listed clearly, and can be tricky to figure out, but here are some key factors.
To determine your net mineral acres, you’ll need revenue statements or a division order/payment document, and you might need some experienced help to understand the often technical language.
How Mineral Buyers Use Net Royalty Acres to Compare Values
If you’ve encountered the term “royalty acre” or “net royalty acre,” it can be confusing. Here’s what those are about:
Mineral buyers use net royalty acres to make “apples to apples” comparisons. It helps them evaluate deals consistently in the fact of varying lease terms.
It all comes down to your lease rate—specifically, the royalty percentage in your lease.
Here is a simple explanation:
1 net mineral acre leased at 12.5% = 1 net royalty acre
1 net mineral acre leased at 25% = 2 net royalty acres
The difference you see there is because a 25% lease pays double the royalty rate of a 12.5% lease. To a buyer it’s worth twice as much royalty-wise.
Net royalty acres let buyers calculate how much income interest they’re really buying, regardless of lease differences. It’s a quick way to compare different owners in the same area—even on the same well.
Location, Location, Location
The major producing basins, unsurprisingly, are usually where minerals are of the highest value. Buyers in active Texas basins may pay more than for minerals in lower production areas such as Wyoming. In high production areas, there is abundant drilling activity as producers expand not only in acreage but in depth. The Permian, for example, has many layers of productive zones stacked under the surface, some of which still have less-tapped zones, allowing them to continue to increase production.
Example 1: Core vs Edge Areas (Permian/Texas)
Even within the same basin, values can vary widely. A mineral interest in a highly production county like Midland or Martin have very few locations that are not attractive to buyers. In contrast, interests on the edges of other counties may be less attractive due to thinner rock and less consistent production results, which can reduce how aggressive buyers price them.
Example 2: Operator Quality
Even within the same county, value can vary depending upon the operator. A well operated by a large active company with a history of consistent drilling and strong performance may attract stronger offers than a similar interest under a smaller operator with limited activity or less drilling success
Example 3: Producing vs Undeveloped
Two properties in the same county can be valued very differently depending on development status. A producing property with established wells provides more predictable cash flow, while an undeveloped property may be valued based on its future potential. That potential can vary widely depending upon location and operator quality which may lead to greater offer price variation.
Phases of Mineral Ownership
A very critical issue in mineral rights value involves the phase of ownership—basically whether yours are leased and/or producing. The more active companies are in your area, the more your minerals are likely worth. Here are more details on the three phases:
Non-Leased Mineral Rights
If your property is neither producing royalty income nor actively leased, it’s typically worth under $1,000 per acre—often between $0 and $500 per acre.
In this case there’s little to evaluate unless you’ve received an offer or there is a recently expired lease that could indicate minerals might have value at some point.
Leased Mineral Rights
If you’re not receiving royalty checks but you do have an active lease, you can probably estimate your mineral rights value at 2 to 3 times your lease bonus.
For example, if you leased at $2,000 per net mineral acre, you could expect offers in the range of $4,000 to $6,000 per acre.
The final sale price will depend heavily on your royalty percentage, lease terms, and how strong (or weak) the deal was when you signed the lease.
Producing Mineral Rights
If you’re getting royalty checks, that means you have producing mineral rights—and that gives you a significant number to base estimates on.
Here is a chart to help visualize the differences:
Let’s assume you’re in the third phase, leased and active. From there we can show how buyers use two more tools to value your minerals.
Cash Flow and Future Upside Also Help Calculate Value
Cash flow and future upside are the two main things that affect the amount buyers are willing to offer for your producing minerals. Here’s what those terms mean:
Cash Flow – Based on your current royalty income.
Future Upside – The potential value if more wells are drilled and production increases in the future. Every buyer values this differently, so it’s very difficult to predict or calculate.
Generally, producing mineral rights WITHOUT future upside may sell for around 4 to 6 years’ worth of your average monthly income.
To estimate the cash flow value, start by averaging your last 3 months of royalty income. Then plug that number into the mineral rights value calculator below.
Please note: the calculator will give you a solid estimate of the cash flow value, but it won’t reflect any potential future upside—that depends on market conditions and expected future activity.
Mineral Rights Royalty Calculator
Royalty Value: Please note that this is an estimate. Actual offers could be for more or less than the estimate. And please think twice before selling mineral rights because you have a higher offer than the estimate above.
Keep in mind that you could be getting $10/month in royalty income and the calculator above would show a value of $480 to $720 for your mineral rights. You could be getting $10/month and have an offer for $2,000,000 on the table.
While that is not unusual, it can happen because the mineral rights calculator above only accounts for the cash flow value not for future upside. The latter is more common in areas with active drilling, like Texas’ Permian Basin, or when oil prices are rising.
For example, in parts of the Permian Basin in Texas, there are older vertical wells that have been producing for decades and may only generate small monthly or even quarterly royalty income.
However, many of these areas have since been developed with newer horizontal wells that target multiple productive zones. These wells can significantly increase production across the same acreage.
As a result, buyers are often not valuing the property based on current income alone, but on expected future development. Even properties with minimal current revenue can attract strong offers when there is clear upside tied to additional drilling activity.
How You Can Get a Realistic Estimate
If you’re here because someone contacted you asking to buy your minerals, that’s great, it means they probably do have value. But while it’s a starting point, it may not be the best offer you could get. It’s always a good idea to wait awhile so you can compare several offers.
Look at it this way: If you’re a homeowner, you probably get spam calls regularly from someone wanting to buy your home “as is” and without any real estate agents or closing costs. There you likely recognize that if you do want to sell, you’ll put your home on the market and get competitive bids.
It’s the same with selling mineral rights. Getting competitive offers will give you a real sense of their market value. Companies that buy mineral rights consider all the issues we listed above, plus whether there are competitive bids.
Every buyer is different—one may lowball, another might send you a teaser offer and then reduce the price when you reply. That’s why it’s vital to get competitive bids so you can choose the best one.
Getting Competitive Bids
When you list your mineral rights with US Mineral Exchange, your property goes in front of thousands of qualified buyers fast. These buyers compete against each other to offer you the best price, and that competition is what drives the price up.

Terra at US Mineral Exchange literally opened up a new world to me. Like many people, I owned mineral rights due to inheritance, without any real knowledge of their value, or how to capitalize on it. Just by good fortune I found her firm through internet searching and the rest is history. She is very generous with her knowledge, reassuring to a novice like me, very efficient and professional and obtained a very good price, for a most reasonable fee. If I had more assets that fell within her/their purview, I would without hesitation or shopping around, do business with US Mineral Exchange again.read more

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

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

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.

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.

Garrett Phelan was great to deal with. He was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and dug more deeply into my mineral interests than any of the dozen other buyers who are trying to make bids. The whole process went very smoothly and even more quickly than he promised. He will be my first phone call when I next sell other interests.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

Not knowing where to go to determine the value of my mineral rights, I reached out to US Mineral Exchange. Garrett was very helpful in determining that the offer I had received was a fair offer prior to my reaching out. After reviewing US Mineral Exchange and having good conversations with Garrett, I listed my mineral rights though them. I was able to secure an offer roughly 23% higher than my previous offer. The closing was seamless as well as the funds transfer. I highly recommend US Mineral Exchange if you are looking to sell.read more

Receiving countless offers in the mail to buy my minerals was confusing. Not knowing who to trust, I searched for some ally to help me with the process. My first phone visit with Garrett at US Mineral Exchange put me at ease, and I knew that I'd found that ally. The entire process was pleasurable and exceeded my exceptions at every turn. I was kept in the loop and never had to inquire what was happening. My hesitations to trust anyone wanting to buy my minerals melted away with the expertise of a company that has done this so many times before. I highly encourage anyone wanting to sell their minerals to reach out to US Mineral Exchange.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

In an industry with so much legaleese and loop holes and being a small fish in a large ocean it was so refreshing to deal with US Mineral Exchange. They are very knowledgeable and delivered on their promise of finding us a better deal, and quickly I might add. We had an offer prior to dealing with US Mineral Exchange and thought it was a good deal until we learned better through US Mineral Exchange. They made the process very easy and Terra answered every question I had (and I had plenty) but never once did she make me feel uneducated on the subject although I was. I can't say enough good things about our experience and would suggest using them to anyone who is interested in selling their mineral rights.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

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

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

We had been considering selling a portion of our gas royalties and after several offers (and they were all over the place) I knew I needed help to make a good decision.
After a good deal of research, I found US Mineral Exchange.
Eric provided detailed information about what to expect and Garrett led me through the whole process keeping informed and addressing any concerns I had as they popped up.
I could not imagine that I there is a better outfit and a more customer focused group in the business.
THANK YOUread 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

Eric and Garrett were both a pleasure to work with and very responsive. They were not pushy and in my experience were truly working in everyone's best interest. They made the process of selling my parents oil and gas interest an easy and painless process. I would highly recommend working with them.read more

They made selling a portion of my mineral interests easy, and got me more money than I was offered on my own. Very responsive to my questions.

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
