How to Sell Mineral Rights in New Mexico in 2024

Do you want to sell mineral rights in New Mexico—specifically Lea or Eddy Counties? This process can really be confusing if you’re not familiar with how it works. If you own producing rights in New Mexico, you can sell them for a lot of money.

That is, IF you do it right.

If not, you could lose a lot of money.

These two oil-rich counties are hot-spots for activity. Maybe you’re here because you’re thinking of selling mineral rights in New Mexico—but you’re overwhelmed by the idea. How do you proceed? Do you call someone? Get on Google? Accept a current offer?

Well, no, but putting up your property in front of a lot of buyers is indeed a good idea. You just want to find a place that specializes in selling mineral and royalty rights and has access to the industry’s leading mineral and royalty buyers. That way you get your minerals in front of buyers that are looking for what you have—and you get the expert advice you need along the way.

Don’t do this on your own!

Too many mineral and royalty owners looking to sell mineral rights in New Mexico, especially in Lea and Eddy Counties, have found selling on their own to be a losing situation in several ways:

Losing Time: Googling ‘mineral buyers’ or ‘mineral rights for sale’ or something similar will indeed get you a list of options. But then you have to contact them individually and hope the ones you are choosing are reputable. After that you have to send them your information, wait for a reply, then compare offers. Doing this with just a dozen or so buyers can take weeks. After all this, you are still not even reaching 1% of the potential mineral buyers out there. You still don’t know if they gave you a good price because competition is limited at best. This brings up the other losing situation.

Losing Money: Unless these buyers know they’re in competition, they have no incentive to give you their best price for Eddy or Lea County minerals. Their goal is to buy as low as possible and pocket the difference, either for themselves directly or to resell for a profit. Either way you can lose thousands and thousands of dollars.

Understanding the Paperwork: Now that you have an offer or multiple offers, are you comfortable with the nuts and bolts of the paperwork. Do you understand the industry jargon enough so not to misunderstand the details? Are you confident that when you get to the closing table you will get what you expected?

Gaining Information: We know the ropes on mineral rights transactions and we’ll help you every step of the way with information, advice and answers to all your questions. We want to you be comfortable—and informed—about everything that happens along the way.
