Consulting Forester

Truist

Northeastern piedmont and the coastal plain · 48 counties

This firm's office is in Atlanta, GA, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the N.C. Forest Service register lists it as working 48 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.

About Truist

Worth reading the service list closely here. The register credits this entry with timber cruising and sale administration but not timber appraisal — so the valuation step most landowners want before going to market isn't among the listed services. What is listed is broad: 48 counties across the northeastern piedmont and most of the coastal plain, plus reforestation, forest real estate, wildlife management and stewardship plans. The office address is Atlanta, Georgia. No website is on file.

Can they handle a timber sale?

Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.

Timber Appraisal — not listed

works out what your standing timber is worth

Timber Cruise

measures and grades what's actually out there

Sale Administration

runs the sale and handles the contract

This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
