Our Legacy and Values

With the longest-standing experience in the forest products auction space, the Kittrell name is synonymous with integrity, professionalism, and proven performance. From our earliest beginnings, we have never taken a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, every auction is crafted with careful attention to the specific needs, goals, and context of the seller.

Our company was not built on flashy slogans or gimmicks—it was built on the loyalty and trust of clients who return to us generation after generation. We don’t just complete transactions; we build lasting relationships, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients through every phase of the auction process.

Each auction conducted by GW Kittrell Auctions is handled directly by our core family team:

Zach Kittrell, company owner, with over four (4) decades of experience is present at every major milestone—from inventory setup to auction day management—ensuring nothing is left to chance.


Allison Kittrell, with over three decades of experience, handles the back-end logistics, including marketing, document coordination, and communication between all departments to meet seller and buyer expectations.


Jacqueline L. Kittrell, with over 4 decades of experience is the owner of our sister company, Kittrell Sawmill Appraisals is the leading appraiser in the forest products industry and works tirelessly to keep informed on the latest market trends, technological advancements and trends that affect the forest products industry.


Ethan Mealer, representing the fourth generation of our family legacy, leads our digital and broadcast strategy team to ensure seamless global reach and real-time bidding through multiple simulcast platforms.
