Selling Mineral Rights 101
When someone comes to us and asks what their mineral rights are worth, we tell them they’re worth whatever someone is willing to pay. The next thing we do is ask if they would like to present their mineral rights to thousands of buyers to find out how much they’re willing to pay.
Sometimes, we are approached by individuals who have already received an offer on their mineral rights they have for sale. Almost always, there is a wide variance between an offer they have already received and the offer we are able to eventually get for them. Working with The Mineral Auction consistently gets mineral rights sellers higher offers than they would have received on their own. This is because of a few factors:
- First, different mineral rights buyers have different valuation matrices and different opinions on specific locations.
- Second, most buyers are out to give the sellers the least they can to boost their margins.
- Lastly, without a competitive environment, the seller doesn’t have the leverage they need to request a higher offer for their mineral rights.
At The Mineral Auction we are able to use all of these factors to our advantage in order to help our clients receive the highest valuation possible for their mineral rights. Our mineral rights specialists can help you broker a deal with potential buyers.
The Process of Selling Mineral Rights
This is a step-by-step explanation of the streamlined process we use to sell mineral rights for our clients:
- Potential client comes to us and says they may be interested in selling mineral rights.
- Discuss with client the risks and benefits of selling, market conditions, and their expectations.
- Gather information regarding legal descriptions, leases, and check stubs
- Have the client sign a one-page listing agreement (no lengthy signups or intrusive questionnaires).
- Search GIS maps and Oil and Gas Databases so that we can paint the upside to the buyers in a favorable light.
- Advertise minerals to thousands of trusted and interested buyers directly through email marketing.
- Submit offers to the seller as they come in and give our input about the offer.
- Once an acceptable offer is agreed upon, we help the client with the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA). The PSA spells out the terms for the sale, such as: names of parties/entities, title review period, earnest money, purchase price, etc.
- Before closing, buyer will present a deed to be signed. We are happy to review the deed and negotiate terms, warranties, etc. on your behalf.
- When it’s time to close, we can hold your original deed until the funds are wired into your account. We don’t release your deed until you have confirmed the funds are in your account. We aren’t paid until you are fully funded and completely satisfied.
Our depth of experience with the mineral market, knowledge of the transfer process, and access to thousands of buyers make our ability to broker mineral deals that satisfy our clients second to none.

The Mineral Auction provided me with an invaluable exit strategy when selling a mineral interest that one of my clients had. I’d recommend them to anyone who has the need to create some liquidity.
Blake is excellent. We have used him in numerous family issues and find him always direct and very helpful. He is incredibly informed and our go-to guy.
Blake and I have worked on several deals together and they have always gone off without a hitch. Both parties leave the table satisfied. Highly recommended!
Blake hit it out of the park! He did everything he said he would do, and then some. He far exceeded our expectations within a day! If you are concerned about paying commission or being restricted to a broker – don’t be. He will max out the value of your minerals. I tried to negotiate with several buyers on my own and didn’t come within the same universe.
Blake Bergstrom helped my family negotiate the sale of our mineral rights for our small ranch outside of San Antonio. I found Blake to be very knowledgable about whole process and took the time to answer all our questions. We were very satisified with the transaction and have already recommended Blake and The Mineral Auction to some our friends. Thanks again.
I have mineral rights to natural gas and Blake was excellent in his advice regarding my situation. Thanks a lot for your help!
