When it comes time to sell timber, you will need
a forester that has the experience and the
understanding of selling timber and timber markets.
However, if you chose not to seek professional
representation, you will have a greater chance of
something happening that will make your timber
selling experience unpleasant.
Being in this field for several years, and being both
a buyer and a representing agent during my career,
I have seen both sides and almost every
imaginable outcome. The positive outcomes where the landowner has benefited is when
the landowner knows they got a good price for the product they were selling. At the end
of the project, their property was taken care of in a way that exceeded the landowners
expectations. Let me say, these are the situations where a forester was representing
the landowner.
Now there are the type of landowners who choose to represent themselves, and believe
me I have heard of everything from stealing timber, I did not get a good price for my
timber, and last but not least, I have ruts in my fields that are 2-feet deep. I would be
very upset if this happened the first time I sold timber--it would probably be the last.
Protect yourself and use a forester that understands the process and understands timber
marketing strategy--Its priceless when it comes to selling timber.
Using us as your forestry consultant service, we will start off with a timber cruise that is
sorted out by species and products. This is very crucial information as this is also the
foundation of the sell. Next, we start with the mapping, then designing the timber sale
prospectus, onto obtaining the bids for the sale, to supervising the harvesting and last,
closing out the final sale inspection.
