Do not sign or return anything right away. First, confirm exactly what you own — your net mineral acres, royalty decimal, and which wells or units are involved. Second, verify the buyer: check whether they are a direct buyer or a broker who intends to flip the deal, and read the purchase agreement for the effective date and any deductions. Third, get at least one competing written offer so you have something to measure the first one against.

If you own mineral rights or royalties in Chaves County, New Mexico, choosing the right buyer matters as much as the price. The same buyer-selection principles apply here as across New Mexico:
Selling New Mexico mineral rights means dealing with one of three kinds of buyer. A direct buyer like American Royalty Buyers commits its own capital and takes title — one written offer, one closing, no fee. A broker shops your interest to third-party buyers for a commission out of your proceeds. A marketplace forwards bids from a pool of buyers, with a platform margin over each bidder’s. Knowing which one you are dealing with is the first step toward a fair result.
Nearly all New Mexico mineral value is in the Delaware Basin of the Permian, under Eddy and Lea counties — some of the most sought-after acreage in the country. It is deeply stacked: the Bone Spring and multiple Wolfcamp benches, with the Avalon above, can all sit under one tract. Ask any buyer which benches are developed and undeveloped beneath your acreage, whether you sit in the active core, and how remaining locations factor in — with pay this thick, a number that ignores the stack understates the interest.
A direct buyer is the simplest path to a transparent net and a fast close. A marketplace’s headline bid is quoted after the platform and each bidder have removed their margins, so it is not the full value of your minerals. A direct buyer’s written offer is exactly what you are paid, and the close does not hinge on a third party. ARB explains the reasoning behind its number so you can benchmark any other offer; the companies that buy mineral rights directory shows how the field is structured.
