Tell us about your minerals ↗WHY OWNERS CONSIDER SELLING
Reasons for selling are personal and depend on each owner’s circumstances and financial goals.
For producing interests, a sale converts future royalty payments—which may fluctuate or arrive irregularly—into a lump-sum cash payment at closing. Owners may choose to use those proceeds for investments, major purchases, family needs, or other personal financial goals.
Some owners prefer to divide sale proceeds among heirs or co-owners rather than pass along fractional mineral interests and the ongoing work of managing them.
A sale can reduce the work associated with the interests sold, such as tracking royalty statements, maintaining ownership records, reviewing leases, and organizing information for tax reporting.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Share the location and whatever you know about your ownership. Complete records aren’t needed to begin.
We review title, maps, leases, and available well and production information and complete the necessary due diligence.
We offer fair value, explain the terms clearly, and answer your questions. You decide whether to proceed.
We arrange the documents, including the deed, and typically pay all closing costs. We can close by mail or courier, with a lump-sum cash payment at closing.
Our team stays available throughout the process so you know what is being reviewed, what the offer includes, and what comes next.

Practical answers for owners.
Direct conversations with our team.
No. We consider both producing and non-producing mineral interests. If you are unsure whether your minerals are leased or producing, tell us what you know and we can review the available information.
Start with your name and a way to reach you. Share the county, state, and any other property details you know. Deeds, leases, royalty statements, tax bills, or maps may be helpful later, but you do not need documents or complete property records to begin a conversation.
We regularly speak with owners who have inherited mineral interests. Share what you know about the property and any records you have. Our team reviews the ownership and identifies the documentation needed for a potential purchase, keeping you informed throughout the process.
We purchase undivided mineral interests and consider select purchases of undivided surface interests. Other owners do not necessarily need to sell their shares for you to sell yours. We review the title and any applicable restrictions to determine what can be purchased and explain the proposed transaction directly with you. A purchase of your share does not itself transfer anyone else’s ownership.
Yes. You can sell your mineral interest while retaining ownership of the surface land. We review your title and clearly identify the mineral interest and associated rights included in the proposed sale.
We offer fair value based on the ownership, location, size of the interest, lease terms, maps, and available well and production information. You work directly with our team to discuss the offer and its terms.
We handle the title review and other due diligence needed to evaluate the interest. If we agree on a purchase, we arrange preparation of the closing documents, including the deed. You communicate directly with our team throughout the process, with clear explanations of what is needed and what comes next.
Eastern Holdings typically pays all closing costs for purchases we complete. We explain the purchase price, closing arrangements, and any costs you would be responsible for before you sign the closing documents.
We purchase interests for cash and can often close quickly once the title review and other due diligence are complete. Timing depends on the ownership and available records. Our team discusses the anticipated schedule and payment arrangements with you and keeps you informed through closing.
No. We can arrange closing by mail or courier. Our team provides instructions for signing and returning the documents and remains available to answer questions along the way.
Yes. We welcome inquiries from operators and prospective purchasers. Please include the county, state, and a brief description of the interests or opportunity you would like to discuss.
