Fill out the short request form — your state, county, rough acreage, and anything you know about your trees. Two minutes, no documents required.
A Registered Forester locates your parcel and evaluates your timber using satellite imagery, USDA Forest Service inventory data, soil maps, and current prices paid by mills in your area. No site visit is required for a preliminary estimate. If you later decide to move toward a sale, the timber is cruised on the ground for a precise tally before anything is marketed.
We walk you through a realistic value range, what's driving it, and your options — including the option to do nothing and let your timber keep growing. We will often tell a landowner that the most profitable move is to wait, and we will tell you why in plain terms.
We would rather answer this plainly than make you wonder. We are a timber marketing firm. We make our living when landowners hire us to conduct a competitive, sealed-bid timber sale on their behalf — cruising the timber, marketing it to every qualified mill and buyer in the region, and managing the sale and harvest contract to protect the land.
The free estimate is how we earn the right to that conversation. Many people who request one are not ready to sell, and that is fine. We work for the landowner. Never the buyer.

Timber is sold by the ton, by product class. The same pine tree can sell as pulpwood, chip-n-saw, or sawtimber at very different prices — which is why knowing what you have matters as much as knowing that you have it.
| Product class | Description | Typical price per ton* |
|---|---|---|
| Pine pulpwood | Smaller trees, used for paper and packaging | $5 – $15 |
| Pine chip-n-saw | Mid-size trees, split between lumber and chips | $14 – $25 |
| Pine sawtimber | Mature trees, sawn into lumber | $22 – $35 |
| Hardwood sawtimber | Quality oak and other hardwoods for lumber | Varies by species & grade |
