Our process
What happens when you call.
Six steps, fully transparent, at your pace. Most owners go through the first three just to learn what they own — and that’s a use of our time we’re glad to make.
A first conversation
Phone or email, whichever you prefer. Tell us as much — or as little — as you know about what you own. A county and a family name is enough to begin; we’ve started with less. Fifteen minutes is typical, and nothing is required of you afterward.
What you need: nothing. Old leases, check stubs, or division orders help, but they’re not required.
Research and verification
We pull the courthouse records, trace the title chain, and gather public production data for every well touching your acreage — at our own cost, usually within a week or two. You don’t lift a finger, and you haven’t committed to anything.
What you need: patience. We’d rather be right than fast.
The walkthrough
Before any number changes hands, we walk you through what you actually own: your net mineral acres, your decimal, which wells pay you, and where they are on their decline curves — in kitchen-table English. This understanding is yours to keep whether or not we ever talk again.
Good questions to ask us: anything. This call is for you, not for us.
A written offer
If you’d like a number, you get one in writing: the price, the acres and decimal behind it, the split between producing value and upside, and the price and discount-rate assumptions we used. No countdown clock — the offer stands while the facts stand.
What we’ll never include: an expiration designed to rush you, or a sight draft.
Your decision, your advisors
Take the offer to your attorney, your CPA, your family — even other buyers. We’ll answer your advisors’ questions directly, and “no” is an answer we genuinely respect. Plenty of our conversations end there, and the door stays open.
No follow-up calls unless you ask for them. We mean that.
Closing
If you decide to sell, we prepare the mineral deed for your (or your attorney’s) review, handle the remaining title work, and close through a title company or escrow. Funds are wired at closing — never mailed as a draft that’s “payable upon verification.”
Typical timeline: 30–45 days from a signed agreement, or slower if you prefer.

The standing rules
What we’ll never do.
You’ve probably already met the other version of this industry. Here’s our list, in writing.
- No sight drafts or “payable upon verification” checks in the mail.
- No deadlines invented to pressure you. Real facts can change a price; a calendar can’t.
- No robocalls, no mass mailers, no showing up unannounced.
- No renegotiating at the closing table. The price changes only if the records change — and we’ll show you exactly why.
- No passing your information to anyone, for any reason.
No pressure, ever
Step one is just a conversation.
Most people who call us aren’t ready to sell. We’ll still tell you what you own, what it might be worth, and what we’d pay — then the next move is entirely yours.
No automated calls. No mailers with sight drafts. No follow-up unless you ask for it.
