FAQ; Why Do We NEED A Forester To Sell Our Timber?
For over 30 years dozens of clients have come to me after learning the answer to this question the hard way.
Many people feel that they can do the job themselves, or they have a friend or relative who is a logger and offers to help them out.
They all end up gaining a small fraction of what their timber is worth and to add insult to injury their forest is seriously degraded in the process.
A forester knows how to;
- Expertly market your timber to get you up to 1000% more money for your trees!
- Mark the correct trees resulting in an increase in the value of the residual forest rather than a degraded forest!
- Plan the timber sale so that the land will not be harmed from excessive rutting, damage to streams, and damage to residual trees.
- Structure and administer a contract so that the clients’ interests are protected both financially and environmentally.
- Determine which loggers will do a good job and which loggers have a lesser reputation.
- Get the loggers to follow the rules, and not try to get away with shortcuts and extra trees.
- Plan a timber sale for maximum Wildlife habitat.
When you go to court over something that may be worth $100,000 or more, do you hire an Attorney, or hire a friend or relative, or do you do it yourself.
Most foresters handle hundreds of timber sales, and most do it yourselfers handle one in a lifetime.
Who do you think knows what they are doing, and which one do you think that the loggers will take advantage of?
If you care about your forest and your pocketbook, hire an experienced Consulting Forester.
When Buying, Selling, or Investing in forestland it is essential that you work with a forester and real estate agent who specializes in this niche.
