Working with Joshua and Travis on the sale of my mom’s mineral rights was very easy and smooth. Very pleased with how quickly the sale was done. It was a pleasure working with Blue Flame.

“I inherited my minerals back in 2001 from my mother, but for a long time, nothing really happened with them. Around 2014 or 2015, I started getting checks. It wasn’t a lot, but it was a nice extra. Then, after a while, the payments started to go down, but when more drilling picked up, my income nearly doubled! Thankfully, it was steady enough for my husband, who worked for the state, to retire after 40+ years, and bridged the gap on our health insurance costs. We would get offers to sell all the time, but we always ignored them because we felt comfortable with where things were. However, the royalties started going down again, and, after a cancer diagnosis, I started thinking more about simplifying things and making sure we were debt-free, just in case, and to have some money set aside for traveling, a thing we always wanted to do more of. When Blue Flame Minerals called, they said they had a process to help me understand what I had, where it was going, ensure I was in pay correctly, and realize my goals with my minerals. Their process helped me understand my minerals in a way I never had before. They showed me a map of my acreage and where my royalties were heading, which made it clear to me that my income was only going to keep dropping. The BIG surprise was they found out that I wasn’t in pay correctly and that over $100,000 had been sitting in suspense due to probate issues! I had no idea! I never realized any of this before and I’m so grateful to have had Blue Flame walk me through it all. It gave me the confidence to make decisions that set me up for the future, without all the uncertainty.”

“These minerals were an important part of my family’s legacy. My family homesteaded the property, and I grew up hearing stories of my grandmother, especially during the depression, telling her husband that if he ever sold the minerals, she would kick his (you know what). The minerals have always been good to my family, and I always assumed that I would hold onto these for my two daughters. However, I also felt there could be more to learn. When Blue Flame Minerals walked me through my asset and gave me a clearer understanding of what I had, I realized there were multiple ways to steward this asset now and for my future. I started to take a hard look at what I wanted my legacy to be. I saw how I could leverage more control over certain living expenses and other things I wanted to invest in now for myself and my two daughters and I better understood where my wells were at in their life cycle and how production declines would affect me going forward. Stewarding my minerals has allowed me the opportunity to move to Arizona, escaping the harsh winters of Sitka, Alaska and buy two new cars for my twenty-six and twenty-eight-year-old daughters. Walking through Blue Flame’s owner focused process allowed me to understand what I had and make informed decisions based on my goals and the legacy I envisioned for my family.”
“After inheriting a collection of minerals across North Dakota and Arkansas properties, I struggled to find a profitable way to monetize them. Most offers were below a previous lease bonus payment or equivalent to a 30-month payout, which made no sense to do financially with all the remaining locations to drill. But when I walked through Blue Flame Mineral’s process, I gained an understanding of exactly what I had and the opportunities I could capitalize on at that time. Blue Flame’s expertise allowed me to secure a higher offer than I’d previously seen, enabling me to reinvest confidently in stocks where I had more control and potential for growth.“
“My dad bought these minerals in the ‘50s or ‘60s, some larger tracts and many smaller tracts. They were passed down to my sister and me, and there were a couple periods where they did well. But over time, the royalties started drying up, and keeping track of all the loose ends and smaller operators became a headache. I’d put the minerals in a trust but eventually started thinking it might be time to sell and simplify things. When Blue Flame called, I didn’t respond for some time. I figured they were like the rest of the mineral companies out there. But after chatting with someone on their team, I was impressed by how personal and knowledgeable they were.
I was on the fence about selling the larger tracts since I didn’t need the money, and there was always that hope things might flare up again. But Blue Flame wasn’t pushy at all. We talked through everything, and they really listened to what I wanted. In the end, I went through with the sale, and I’m so glad I did. Now I don’t have to stress about oil prices or what my operator’s doing. I’ve put the money into savings and pay myself a steady check each month, with the rest growing over time. I’ve got peace of mind knowing I’m set for the future.”
“As a mineral owner and real estate professional, I received offers that seemed fair at first glance, but the contracts often had strange terms that led me to distrust the process. When Blue Flame called, they offered to help me understand my asset, remove uncertainty about the future, and confirm I was in pay correctly. They were never pushy about doing a deal and demonstrated transparency with their words and actions.
When I started considering long-term goals, including a move to Oregon, I explored a 1031 exchange to reinvest in real estate. However, when I spoke with Blue Flame, I discovered I could also consult with my CPA and take advantage of a step-up in basis, likely avoiding tax liability altogether. They also discovered both my aunt and I had significant funds sitting in suspense. Thanks to Blue Flame’s help, those issues were resolved, and I’m now purchasing a home in Oregon and will invest the rest in a more diversified portfolio.”
