“Since taking over the family business in 2002, FRC has helped me successfully navigate the transition and management of our family lands. They have served as invaluable guides in several key forest management roles including timber inventories, hunting lease administration, timberland appraisals, and real estate divestiture.”

Case Study
A timberland investor made an initial offer on a property of interest. After several property visits, the investor felt the asking price was unreasonable. He retained FRC to develop an estimate of the property’s timber value. Our timber cruise and valuation uncovered significant overstatement errors in the seller’s published timber volume. Because of our analysis, the investor canceled the purchase and avoided a sizable overpayment.
