About Thomas M Manuel
Thomas M Manuel is a forestry consulting and land brokerage business based in Ethel, Mississippi. The owner works as a consulting forester, wildlife biologist, and real estate broker in southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi, and the county it lists as served is Wilkinson. Manuel Forestry, LLC has been providing consulting services to non-industrial forest landowners for decades. The owner is licensed as a broker in Louisiana and Mississippi. The forestry work covers timber management plans, timber appraisals, timber sales, site preparation, tree planting, and hunting lease management. When a client decides to sell some or all of their land, the owner handles the sale as a broker. He says his forestry knowledge helps with that, since he knows the wildlife use, habitat, timber volume and value, infrastructure, and neighbors of a tract. His own phrase for the link is "Where forestry and real estate connect." The smallest tract shown on the site is 10 acres, a house on 10 acres in Amite County, Mississippi. That is the smallest job it has shown, not a stated minimum. This suits a landowner with timber who wants forestry advice and, if the time comes, a land sale handled by the same person.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
