- Independent appraisal request -

Start with your land.


No cost to talk, no obligation to proceed.

A free appraisal from the person who wants to buy your timber is a bid, not an appraisal. An independent appraisal works from your side of the table: measured, honest, and with no stake in the number.

When North Carolina State University foresters compared sales, landowners who used a consulting forester averaged about 23% more income per acre and 64% higher price per board foot than those who sold on their own (Cubbage et al., 1996).
