Our Timber Buyer Rosters
Our primary field of expertise at Mott & Shay, PLLC is getting
you the highest possible price for your timber when you are ready
to
sell. Here is how we make the task of selling your timber easier
and more profitable for you: Mott & Shay will:
1) Design the type of sale that meets YOUR objectives.
2) Clearly designate all sale boundaries.
3) Set up all Streamside Management Zones and make certain that your
sale is in compliance with environmental regulations.
4) Perform a 100% inventory of the sawtimber size trees by measuring,
marking, tallying and computing the volume for each and every tree.
5) Perform a sample cruise of the pulpwood size trees and compute
their volumes.
6) Prepare a timber sale notice and advertise to the largest number of
buyers possible.
7) Conduct a highly competitive "sealed-bid" sale soliciting bids for
your consideration.
8) Help make certain that a proper timber conveyance is prepared and
assist with the closing of the sale. We make sure you get paid up front, at
the closing, before any timber is cut.
9) Inspect the logging operation regularly and report any violations
of the cutting contract immediately.
10) Perform a reforestation inspection upon completion of the logging and
assist you with reforestation plans.
Measuring every sawtimber tree and insisting on sealed-bids is
the best way to get top dollar for your timber. Since you do not
pay Mott & Shay, PLLC until we have conducted a successful
timber sale for you, there is "no risk" on your part
when you employ us to sell your timber.

The 100%Sawtimber
Inventory
"Why We Measure Every Sawtimber Tree"
|
|
First and foremost, it is so that you will be paid for
each and every one of your most valuable trees - your sawtimber
size trees. You have invested all the time and taken all
the risks in growing these trees, therefore you owe it to
yourself to make certain that you are paid a premium for
each and every one of them.
Second, a timber "cruise" used by others in business
to estimate timber volumes, may not be worth the paper it's
written on! A cruise never shows accurate timber volumes,
is almost always short of the actual volume, and significantly
decreases the odds of you ever getting top dollar for your
timber. An "over-cruise" can be just as dangerous!
It causes you to set too high a price and you end up rejecting
what may be good offers for your timber.
The third reason is that each tree and each size class
has a different value. By measuring every sawtimber tree
according to species and size, we eliminate all doubt as
to the type, size, and volume of timber. Since these doubts
are eliminated in the buyer's minds, more of them are likely
to bid on your timber. Many buyers are so confident in our
figures, they bid on our timber sales based on our figures
alone, sometimes without even seeing the tract. Thus we
are able to create greater competition and higher prices
for your timber
