We will select trees for harvest that are best for you to sell. We do not buy timber and will not take advantage of the trust our clients place in us. Our computerized directory includes over 300 prospective buyers of timber, all coded by geographic area and preferred product. We use a detailed prospectus which shows the location and volume of timber being sold, plus conditions of sale for each timber offering. Every prospective buyer has an equal opportunity to purchase.
Sales are almost always on a competitive sealed bid basis.
The landowner always reserves the right to refuse the bids. Kingwood will prepare a Forest Products Sale Contract for execution between the landowner and the buyer. Normally the full purchase price is paid in cash in advance and the buyer has a fixed period of time in which to remove the designated timber. Our marketing service is not completed until we make a final inspection of the timber harvesting operation. We check logging operations while thy are in progress to ensure that all of the terms of the contract are honored.
