What Our Clients Are Saying

“Mom and I just wanted to thank you again – you guys have done a fantastic job [on our most recent closing]. Lots of moving parts, but you made it all come together really quickly. Well done!!”

“Mark and his team really went above and beyond for us while selling our property! First off, he caught that the property map on the county website was incorrect by checking the description. Then he talked to our neighbor about getting an easement [that] the buyers requested, set up a time we could all meet and have the neighbor sign the easement, and he brought along a co-worker who could witness and notarize the easement. And, when we arrived at the neighbor's place, and the guy’s wife told us he went golfing and wouldn’t be back until that evening, Mark went with me to the golf course and we tracked down the neighbor – in a cart, on the golf course – and we were able to get the easement signed and notarized! These guys are pros and will help you sell your property no matter what! They’re the real deal.”

“Thank you for the help in making [our property purchase] all happen so smoothly. It was a pleasure working with you.”

“Twenty years ago, I was buying my first piece of timberland. Davis was with me then guiding me. Then I sold my first timber, Davis helped me sell it for the best price. Now, 2,700 acres later, they have been with me on every land purchase and every timber sale. No other firm has their depth or background to help a landowner optimize their investment.”

“Thank you for assisting with our land purchase! We appreciate your frequent updates and open communication! We will recommend you to anyone looking to invest in real estate!”

“DDK has represented my timberland as Registered Foresters for over 15 years. They have done a great job in giving advice about management issues for my timber. They have also done a great job marketing my timber when it is time to sell. In addition to their management services, they have helped me buy and sell a number of tracts of land. I appreciate their high level of professionalism.”

“DDK’s overall knowledge of forestry, wildlife, timber markets, and passion for land has helped me achieve a balance between the financial and wildlife objectives we established for my property in SW Arkansas. They executed successful harvest and management plans for my pine stands as well as the hardwood bottomlands my family hunts and cherish.”

“I met Bryan Davis at a Christmas party in Nashville, AR about thirty-five years ago. After I learned his occupation that evening, I asked if he would be interested in helping me with a 257 acre timber tract I had purchased a couple of years back. He said yes, and soon we were embarking on a business relationship and friendship that has grown in stature over the years. A few years after our first meeting, Bryan began to work for the Hearnsberger family, including my parents and brother, my aunt and uncle, and their four children. That business relationship and friendship continued to grow. And our timber holdings have also grown—tripled over the years. What started as a one-man show—Davis Forestry—has grown into DDK, sizable forestry management and real estate group. The group has state-of-the-art timber and forestry management along with real estate sales and experience. They have offices in Little Rock, Texarkana, and Monticello. I have referred them to friends who are equally happy with their relationship with DDK. It has been a good ride for us all.”

“I would recommend working with DDK in a heartbeat. Very professional, polite, respectful. The entire staff is this way. Their team worked diligently to sell my home and did, with success. Mark Knight is a gem, makes you feel like you are his only client.”

“As a client of DDK Forestry & Real Estate for more than 10 years, I am confident in their capable, trustworthy, and expert work on timber and real estate projects. It was through a family connection that I was introduced to the company; my mother, Virginia Mitchell Bailey, worked with Bryan’s father on timber projects. The entire family has always been a complete pleasure to work with. Pat DuBose took the lead on buying and selling our timberland, and Mark Knight assisted with the acquisition of timberland in South Central Arkansas. Each was respectful and professional, and it’s clear they search for a win-win experience for their clients. Their many experts, properly accredited foresters value timberland and use methods approved by the forestry industry. I wholeheartedly recommend DDK Forestry & Real Estate for all advisory, appraisal, assessment, and management services. They are absolute professionals with fair fee structures for all services, and have been excellent and trusted advisors to our family.”
