Got an Unsolicited Offer?
A mailer or cold call offering to buy your mineral rights isn't automatically wrong, but it's rarely the interest-specific price. Here's how to benchmark it before signing.

Make the Offer Explain Its Assumptions
Price deck, decline rate, well inventory, lease burden, title scope, funding source, and assignment rights should be written facts—not unanswered questions.
Request a Buyer Review
The Buyer Taxonomy Comes Before the Offer Ranking
Mineral owners are often asked to compare two dollar figures without being told whether each bidder is funding the purchase, assigning the contract, aggregating for a later sale, or buying to hold. Our Shreveport desk starts by identifying the model, then reads the production, title, tract, deed, and closing terms that make the number meaningful.
Identify the Buyer Type
Direct buyer, aggregator, fund, operator, or assignable-contract shop—the model changes how an offer should be read.
Trace the Revenue
Producing value starts with wells, months, volumes, prices, deductions, decimals, and decline—not a county-wide multiple.
Read the Assignment Clause
A buyer that can sell the contract before closing should explain who funds the purchase and who ultimately receives the deed.
Verify the Property Scope
Tracts, depths, formations, fractions, reservations, leases, and effective dates belong beside the price.
Keep Time Pressure Visible
Short acceptance windows and changing deductions deserve written explanations, not assumptions.
Compare Like With Like
Cash at closing, title risk, curative requirements, deed scope, and post-closing adjustments all affect the real comparison.
