Exactly how much timber is on your land? What is it worth? How can you get the maximum price for it? When should you sell? Where are the best markets for selling?
By utilizing TimberCorp, you’ll know the answers to these questions. Our team of forestry experts is experienced and well trained to assist you.
Whether your goal is to sell and receive the absolute highest price possible, or to develop your forest for recreation, or a combination of these, you owe it to yourself to get the most out of your timberland.
Studies show that landowners who utilize a consultant receive as much as fifty percent greater return on their timber.
Other studies prove that a well-managed stand can grow timber three to five times more valuable than the same stand if left unmanaged.
For this reason, the earlier you contact your full-time timber management experts, the greater your pay-off will be.
