They are among the most prolific producers in the country, on a par with entire nations including Mexico, Norway, and Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>Where production is strong, mineral rights are a good return on investment for buyers.<\/p>\n<p>And in these counties, your minerals are often already producing, which makes them both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmineralexchange.com\/blog\/mineral-rights-value\/mineral-rights-value-in-new-mexico\/\">more valuable<\/a> and easier to arrive at a price on. Minerals that are not producing may have little to no value to buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in New Mexico: Northwest New Mexico can also be a good place to sell minerals but location matters. There, it\u2019s the San Juan Basin and Rio Arriba. While much less active than Lea and Eddy, there can still be good minerals value there.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:15px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2><b>Pitfalls of Selling Minerals on Your Own in Lea and Eddy Counties<\/b><\/h2><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p data-start=\"2519\" data-end=\"2553\">Accepting an Unsolicited Offer: Many mineral owners receive unsolicited offers by mail, phone, text, or even an in-person visit. The question is whether it is a good offer.<\/p>\n<p>Most out-of-the-blue offers do not represent fair market value. A buyer making an unsolicited offer is often counting on the owner not to question whether it is fair, and not to explore marketing their minerals on a larger scale to find a better price.<\/p>\n<p>Time: Searching online and individually emailing, calling, or texting possible buyers is inefficient because of the hours involved. Then you must wait for individual responses to trickle in, possibly over days or weeks. After assembling bids, do you pick the top few and tell each one, individually, that they are competing against the others? Then do you sort through several rounds of that?<\/p>\n<p>You could do all that and still realize there are hundreds more buyers you did not reach. And you still might not have reached true market value.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:15px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2><b>Your Minerals May Still Be Undervalued<\/b><\/h2><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Unless you conduct several rounds of this, your buyers won\u2019t know they\u2019re in competition, so they are not likely to give you their best offer.
