Landowner Objective
Second thinning on a well-stocked loblolly plantation; landowner wanted maximum competition with a clean residual stand.
Sale Highlights
Sealed-bid sale generated a meaningful spread between high and low bid versus a single verbal offer the landowner had received earlier. Award went to a regional buyer with crews positioned for selective thinning.
Lessons Learned
The first offer is rarely the highest. Exposing a well-managed pine tract to every qualified buyer in the shed reliably outperforms a single negotiated number.
