Selling your mineral rights can be a smart decision—but only if you do it the right way.

Unfortunately, not every offer is a good one. Many mineral owners end up accepting lowball deals or working with people who don’t have their best interests in mind.

At Fraction Royalty, we believe in making things simple, fair, and fast. We give real offers, treat every deal with respect, and help you sell mineral rights safely without pressure or hidden fees.

Let’s look at how to spot bad offers, how to protect yourself, and how to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.

One of the biggest risks mineral owners face is getting an offer that sounds good at first—but turns out to be far less than what their mineral rights are worth.

Red Flags to Watch For

1. Pressure to Decide Immediately
   A common tactic of scammers is urgency. If someone says “you have to sign today,” that’s a warning sign.

2. Vague or Confusing Details
   If the buyer won’t clearly explain how much you’re being paid, what acreage is included, or what rights you’re giving up, walk away.

3. Offers Way Below Market
   Some buyers throw out blanket low offers hoping a few people will bite. If you’re not sure what your rights are worth, always get a second opinion.

4. Unlicensed or Unknown Buyers
   Do a quick background check. Is this buyer an actual company? Do they have a website? Are there any reviews or mentions online?

At Fraction Royalty, we believe in transparency. We’ll explain everything clearly and never pressure you to move forward if you’re not ready.

Even if you get multiple offers, it can be hard to know which one is best. It’s not always about the highest number on paper.

Things to Consider Beyond Price

• Closing Speed
  Some companies will promise a high number, then drag the process out for weeks or months. At Fraction Royalty, we close in 7 days or less.

• Closing Costs
  Will you be expected to pay for title work, attorney fees, or filing costs? With us, we pay all closing costs.

• Acreage and Terms
  Make sure the offer is for your full interest and clearly states what rights are included.

• Reliability of the Buyer
  Has the buyer closed deals like yours before? Do they specialize in your type of deal?

A strong offer includes fair pricing, clear terms, and fast execution. We’re proud to consistently provide all three.

Sometimes the best decision is not to sell—at least not yet. A good buyer will respect your choice and won’t push you into something you’re unsure about.

Walk Away If:

• You’re feeling pressured or rushed

• The terms don’t make sense

• You’re not confident in the buyer’s experience

• You’re only getting one vague offer and can’t compare it

Selling your mineral rights is a big decision. You deserve time to think it over and get all the information you need.

At Fraction Royalty, there’s never any obligation. We’re here when you’re ready, not when it’s convenient for us.

In an industry full of mineral rights brokers, speculators, and flippers, it’s important to work with a company that has your back.

What Makes a Buyer Trustworthy?

• Real track record: We’ve helped hundreds of mineral owners across the U.S.

• Clear communication: We explain everything and keep you in the loop.

• Fast and honest offers: We make real, actionable offers—no bait and switch.

We also specialize in small deals, which most buyers don’t want to bother with. Even if your interest seems small or unimportant, we’ll give you the same time and attention as a big seller.

Finding a legitimate mineral rights buyer doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are a few simple steps you can take.

How to Get Good Oil Offers Safely

1. Research the Company
   Look them up online. Do they have a real website, reviews, or business listings? Here’s ours.

2. Ask How They Value Your Rights
   A good buyer should be able to explain what factors go into their offer—not just throw out a number.

3. Request Multiple Offers
   You don’t have to sell to the first buyer that contacts you. Comparing 2-3 offers will give you a better sense of market value.

4. Avoid “Middlemen” When Possible
   Brokers often flip deals or pass them around. Working directly with a buyer like us keeps things simple and fast.
