Frequently Asked Questions

General questions

What does AppalachianMineralBuyer.com do?

This website is owned and operated by Titan Property Investors. It provides original educational information for mineral, oil, gas, coal and royalty owners in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia, and it allows owners to submit information about an interest they may want to sell. Titan Property Investors reviews submissions and follows up directly.

Is Titan Property Investors a law firm, broker or government agency?

No. Titan Property Investors is not a law firm, not a licensed real estate or mineral brokerage acting on your behalf, and is not affiliated with any state, county, regulatory or government agency. Nothing on this website is legal, tax, title, geological, investment or financial advice.

Does submitting the form obligate me to sell?

No. Submitting information does not create a contract, a representation agreement, or any obligation to sell, and it does not guarantee that an offer will be made.

What areas do you focus on?

Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia, with county-level information provided for the counties listed on this website.

What types of interests may be reviewed?

Mineral interests, oil and gas interests, royalty and overriding royalty interests, non-participating royalty interests, coal and other severed mineral interests, producing and non-producing acreage, and inherited or fractional interests.

How long does a review take?

It depends on the state, the county, the completeness of the information provided, and what the public records show. Interests with clear documentation generally move faster than those requiring probate research or title work.

Do I need to know exactly what I own before contacting you?

No. Many owners begin without complete records. Provide the state, county and whatever documents you already have, and note what you are unsure about.

What documents are helpful?

Deeds and mineral deeds, oil and gas leases and amendments, division orders, recent royalty statements, probate or estate filings, prior offers, and correspondence from an operator. Partial records are still useful.

Is my information kept confidential?

Submissions are used to review the interest and to follow up with you. Documents are stored in secure, private storage rather than being publicly accessible. Please do not upload Social Security numbers, bank information, passwords, complete account numbers or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Do you charge owners a fee to submit information?

No. Submitting information through this website is free, and there is no cost to have an interest reviewed.

Can you tell me what my minerals are worth from acreage alone?

No. There is no reliable regional price per acre. Potential value depends on state, county, legal location, net mineral ownership, royalty percentage, production, operator activity, leases, title clarity, geology, commodity prices and buyer demand.

Will Titan Property Investors buy the interest directly?

Depending on the property and circumstances, Titan Property Investors may review the opportunity directly or work with qualified buyers and industry professionals.

What if my minerals are in a county not listed on the website?

You may still submit the information. The counties listed reflect where the most detailed educational content has been prepared, not a strict limit on what can be reviewed.

Do you help with title problems or missing probate?

This website provides general educational information about how records and probate work in each state. Resolving a title defect or an unadministered estate requires an attorney or title professional licensed in the state where the minerals are located.

How will you contact me?

By phone, text or email using the contact information you provide, so please double-check it before submitting.
