About Growing Assets, LLC
Growing Assets, LLC is a forestland management and consulting firm in Tuscumbia, Alabama. It works for private landowners across Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and its listed county is Colbert. The firm traces its roots to 1954, when Charles Tomlinson founded a forestry consulting firm in northwest Alabama. The firm handles timber appraisal and timber sales, along with mapping, boundary lines and road access, management plans, reforestation, and hunting lease administration. It also lists timber stand improvement, hand tree planting, site preparation by chemical and mechanical means, herbicide application by air and by ground, and mowing and mulching. It names pine and oak as its species. It acts as the landowner's "sole and exclusive agent" and does not buy timber. A timber sale runs one of two ways. A sealed bid gives a lump sum paid up front, and a negotiated sale pays as the timber is harvested. The firm suggests a minimum price, and the seller is not bound to sell below it. Buyers post a performance bond that stays in the firm's escrow account until the harvest ends. The firm visits the site during the cut and does a final inspection. Its commission is a percentage of the seller's gross proceeds, negotiated with the seller. The smallest tract it shows it has sold is Sandy Branch at 67 acres, so that is the only size reference it gives for a minimum. This suits a landowner who wants an agent working for the seller's side of a timber sale, with a forester who can also handle planting, site work, and boundary lines.
