Selling Mineral Rights for Maximum Value in 2020

Do you want to know how to sell mineral rights?  Our guide will help you understand the process of selling mineral rights from start to finish.   At US Mineral Exchange we are focused on helping mineral owners sell mineral rights for maximum value.    If you’ve been looking for the definitive guide to sell mineral rights, this is it!

Why Sell Mineral Rights

Before selling mineral rights you should take a step back and consider your options.  For some wealthy individuals, it can make sense to hold onto mineral rights.  In many cases it makes sense to sell mineral rights.

Below are some of the most common reasons why selling mineral rights is the best financial decision:

1. Taxes:  The #1 reason for selling mineral rights is taxes.  If you inherited mineral rights and then sold them for $100,000, you could pay only $5,250 in taxes and keep $94,750.  If you collect royalty income of $100,000, you could pay $30,000+ in taxes and only keep $70,000 and it would takes years to collect.  Your basis in mineral rights can affect how much tax you owe when selling mineral rights vs collecting royalties.  If you inherited mineral rights, it nearly always makes sense to sell.

2. Diversification:  In our opinion, another key reason to sell mineral rights is diversification.  We talk to a lot of mineral owners who have a substantial amount of their net worth tied to their mineral rights.   If your mineral rights make up more than 5% of your net worth you should consider selling.  After selling mineral rights, you can invest in a total stock market ETF that will give you diversification AND give you a dividend payment every quarter.

3. Control:  When you own a stock, real estate, or other asset, you decide what happens with that asset.  When you own mineral rights you do not decide when (or if) any drilling will take place.  As a mineral owner, you would prefer that an oil and gas operator drills immediately.  However, you have no control over this and many mineral owners wait decades and nothing happens.

4. Oil & Gas Prices:  In addition to not controlling when or if any drilling occurs, you also have no control over the price of oil and gas extracted from the ground.  Oil and Natural Gas prices have been historically volatile.  This industry is known as a boom and bust type of industry.   The amount you get from your royalty income is driven by current oil and gas prices.

5. Short Term Financial Need:  Many mineral owners are facing a short term financial need.   If you recently lost your job, need to make a down payment on a home, want to start a business, or help your child through college, selling mineral rights can make sense.

6. Medicaid Eligibility:  While the rules vary by state, if you receive oil and gas royalty income you may not be eligible for medicaid.  The rules are complicated but we have a guide to help you better understand the value for medicaid eligibility purposes.

How to Maximize Value When Selling Mineral Rights

If you want to truly maximize the value of your mineral rights, competition is the key.  You want thousands of buyers competing to pay you the highest price.

A lot of mineral owners try and sell mineral rights on their own.

Mineral owners believe they can contact a few buyers and find a fair price.  Unfortunately, you simply can’t reach enough buyers to sell for fair market value.  If you end up selling mineral rights after reaching out to just a handful of buyers, you will nearly always sell below market value.  The reason is that every buyer evaluates mineral rights differently.

Let’s look at an example below.  After checking with a few mineral buyers, you may find a buyer willing to pay $4,000/acre.  That offer may have been higher than the other offers you received so you think it’s a good deal.  In reality, you actually got a bad deal!  By listing at US Mineral Exchange you could have found a buyer at $5,800/acre.

What many mineral owners don’t realize is that there is nearly always a higher price out there.  Typically, a much higher price.

Market Value of Mineral Rights

The key to getting maximum value is creating competition among thousands of mineral buyers.  When buyers compete for your mineral rights, this drives up the price ensuring you sell for maximum value.  That is exactly what we do at US Mineral Exchange.

When you list at US Mineral Exchange we will quickly get your mineral rights in front of thousands of buyers.

Who Buys Mineral Rights

Finding mineral buyers is not difficult.  There are literally thousands of mineral buyers out there.  Figuring out who buys mineral rights in your area can be done with a quick google search. A legitimate buyer could be an individual, private company, public company, or investment group.

The challenging part is finding a legitimate mineral buyer who will pay the highest price.

There are a lot of “buyers” who appear legitimate.  They will make you offers but they have no intention of buying your mineral rights.  They are flippers who put you under contract and then sell that contract for profit.  Figuring out who buys mineral rights and who flips mineral rights is virtually impossible.

If you get lucky enough to locate a legitimate buyer, it is unlikely they are offering the best price.  A lot of mineral owners will accept an offer after talking with just a few buyers.   They end up selling mineral rights below market value and losing out on thousands of dollars.  Don’t fall into this trap!

You need an advocate on your side that knows the industry.

Avoid Common Mistakes When Selling

Over the years we have seen a number of mistakes mineral owners make when selling mineral rights. When you sell mineral rights, avoid these common mistakes:

  • For Sale By Owner:  The worst mistake you can make is selling mineral rights on your own.  When you sell mineral rights on your own you are taking a big risk.  You are betting that you can find the best price and that you know how to navigate the closing process without being taken advantage of.   At US Mineral Exchange we have spent years figuring out the tricks mineral buyers use.  We know how to get you the best price and can help you avoid expensive mistakes at closing.

  • 1st Offer:  The most common mistake we see mineral owners make is accepting the first offer they receive.  Many mineral owners incorrectly believe that if they don’t accept this offer they will lose out.   These offers sometimes come with a short deadline to accept, creating a sense of urgency.    Don’t fall for this trick!   You have held your mineral rights for years.  Selling mineral rights to the first offer you receive is a recipe for disaster!

  • Flippers:  Another common mistake we see are mineral owners who sell mineral rights to a flipper.  These flippers will put you under contract at a below market price. Then, they turn around and sell to someone else at a higher price.  This is extremely common in the industry.  Mineral owners typically have no idea it’s happening. 

    It typically works like the example below.  You gather up a few offers and go under contract at $2,000/acre.  That buyer then turns around and sells to someone else at $3,000/acre.  That buyer will then turn around and sell for $4,000/acre.

    Mineral owners convince themselves they have found the $4,000/acre offer.  Finding the highest market offer when selling mineral rights is like finding a needle in a haystack.  You need access to a pool of thousands of buyers to get the best price.

Mineral Rights Flipper

  • Market Value:  Mineral owners almost always believe their mineral rights are worth more than they are.  A lot of mineral owners will talk about what their mineral rights may be worth in the future.  We hear phrases like, “oil prices will be higher in the future so this will be a great investment” or “as soon as they drill a few more wells to extract more oil it will be worth a lot more.”

    Your mineral rights are worth what a buyer is willing to pay TODAY, based on the current market value.  It may take years for oil prices to go up or for a new well to be drilled.  If you are serious about selling mineral rights you need to be willing to accept the market value.

How to Sell Mineral Rights

When trying to determine how to sell mineral rights, you have two options available:

1. Selling mineral rights on your own
2. Working with industry experts at US Mineral Exchange

Reasons to avoid selling mineral rights on your own:

  • Your Time: You could spend hours just locating a few buyers and submitting your information.

  • Exposure:  Even after spending hours finding buyers you will have only scratched the surface.  There are literally thousands of buyers out there and it’s impossible to reach each one individually.

  • Flippers:  You’ll have to navigate around flippers who will try to quickly get you to sign something and then make a huge profit when they find a buyer.

  • Shady Buyers:  Not all buyers are created equal.  Some buyers will take advantage of a mineral owners lack of experience with mineral rights.

  • Negotiation:  Unless you are extremely familiar with selling mineral rights, negotiating the best possible deal will be difficult.

  • Final Sale: At the end of the day, you’ll have no idea if you got maximum value for your property.  Were other buyers out there who would have paid more?  Very often the answer is yes!

Reasons to list with US Mineral Exchange:

  • Save Time:  You won’t need to search for buyers.  You can provide your information once and then get exposure to a huge network of buyers.

  • Maximize Value:  Your property will get instant exposure to a huge network of buyers.  These buyers will compete against one another driving up the price and maximizing mineral rights value.

  • Quality Buyers:  There’s no need to worry about flippers and shady buyers.  You’ll be working with industry experts who know the market.

  • Tough Negotiators:  By working with industry experts you gain the upper hand in negotiations.  Mineral buyers recognize they are competing against others and respond accordingly.

  • Final Sale:  When you close the sale of your property, you’ll have full confidence knowing that someone was standing beside you looking out for your best interests while helping you maximize value.

When you decide to sell mineral rights on your own, you end up wasting time, adding stress, and making less money!  You have to navigate the process of finding a buyer who won’t take advantage of you and will pay you the highest price.

Working with an expert who specializes in selling mineral rights is critical for mineral owners to protect their interests and maximize value.

Where to Sell Mineral Rights

Figuring out where to sell mineral rights can be overwhelming.  With so many options available, you may be asking yourself how do you sell mineral rights and get a good deal?

Here are some common ways to find mineral buyers and sell mineral rights:

Attorneys:  If you go to your attorney and say, “I want to sell my mineral rights” they will probably help you.  While attorneys can help you navigate a legal document, you should never sell mineral rights through an attorney.  The reason is that they simply won’t get you a good price.  At best, they have a small number of buyers they work with.  If you sell through an attorney, you will sell below market value.

Phone Calls:  Some companies still make cold calls to mineral owners.  Their goal is to get you on the phone and then convince you to sell.  Shockingly, some mineral owners still sell mineral rights like this.  You are talking with one buyer.  Having a discussion and getting an offer is fine.  Not getting competitive bids will cost you.

Knock at the Door:  While uncommon, there are still door to door salesmen who will try and buy your minerals.  Do NOT sell mineral rights like this. These guys are experts at convincing you they are giving you a fair price.  They are not!  They will put a lot of pressure on you.  Don’t fall for it!

Letters in the Mail: This is one of the most common ways that mineral owners sell mineral rights below market value.  If your mineral rights have much value, you will be getting letters to sell on a weekly or monthly basis.  Mineral owners will stack these letters up in a file as they come in.  They review the letters, pick the highest offers, then reach out and negotiate the best deal they can.  This is a terrible way to sell mineral rights.  Why?  Most of the large mineral buyers who pay the best prices do not send letters in the mail.  They rely on US Mineral Exchange to locate mineral rights for sale.  When you accept an offer based on a letter you received, you didn’t reach the big players who will pay the highest prices.

Online Mineral Buyers:  Finding a buyer online is like throwing darts at a dart board.  You will spend hours submitting your information to these buyers.   You have no idea who is behind the website.   It’s impossible to know whether the buyer is legitimate or a flipper.  It’s easy to setup a basic website and appear legitimate.   Don’t play roulette when selling mineral rights and hope you land on a good buyer.

US Mineral Exchange: The best way to sell mineral rights is through US Mineral Exchange.  You submit your information one time and we handle everything from there.  We will quickly get your mineral rights in front of thousands of buyers ensuring the best price.  We’ll negotiate the best possible deal for you.  In addition, we will help you navigate the closing process from start to finish.

Have an offer to sell mineral rights already?  No problem.  We don’t get paid unless we find you a higher offer!  Listing is truly a risk free way to ensure you are getting the best price.

    We had a super experience working with Terra on the sale of our mineral rights. She was very patient with us and explained everything very clearly, which was helpful since we had no experience in this area, and she never talked down to us depite our ignorance. 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, Dan & Mary Grayread more

    USME orchestrated the sale of our family mineral rights.

That buyer also uses their business to help military veterans. So, it was a good deal for both sides.read more

    Terra & Garrett were great. I mostly worked with Terra via e-mail. I did talk to both of them once on the phone but our transaction was a little trail tracking with the property going back to 1925 it was a lot of connecting the dots. We worked together to get the deal done & fairly quickly even with a few extra steps. Thank you again Terra & Garrett.read more

    My experience with U.S. Mineral Exchange was excellent. Garrett was wonderful to work with. He was very professional and answered any questions that I had. I inherited some mineral rights and was not sure what to expect, but the bidding process went smooth on my end and I feel that Garrett did an excellent job making sure that I got a good price. I highly recommend anyone thinking or wanting to sell their mineral rights to get in contact with U.S. Mineral Exchange.Janet Opitzread 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

    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
