About Gene A Sirmon
Gene A Sirmon runs Sirmon Forestry & Real Estate, LLC from 103 South Brooks Street in Pelahatchie, Mississippi. The firm has served landowners since 1994 and serves Rankin County. It handles timber sales, plantation thinning, reforestation, land sales, and real estate appraisal. A timber sale starts with a thorough examination of the property, and the initial inspection is "always FREE." The firm marks each sawtimber tree to be sold, works out volumes and values, and mails a prospectus to its bidders, who get 15 to 20 days to submit bids. The firm prepares the contract. Once both parties sign it and have it notarized, the seller is paid before any timber is harvested. The firm stays on the sale area to make sure the buyer meets the contract, holds a pre-work conference with loggers, and supervises the cutting to completion. After a regeneration harvest, the firm can coordinate site preparation, planting, and herbicide work until the new stand is established. It also helps landowners qualify for federal and state cost-sharing programs. For thinning, it helps set the timing and procedures, then provides a thinning crew. The firm lists Registered Forester, Licensed Real Estate Broker, and Certified General Appraiser credentials, and it is a member of the American Association of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. Its appraisals follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices. This suits a landowner who wants the timber marked, bid out, and watched through the cut, and who may also want an appraisal or help replanting. From sirmonandassociates.net, read 17 October 2026.
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.
