Farm & Timber Properties
About Farm & Timber Properties
Farm & Timber Properties is a forestry and land business in Forsyth, Georgia, at 18 North Jackson Street. Jimmy Thwaite, the principal, is a registered professional forester in Georgia and a member of the Society of American Foresters. The firm also has a registered real estate agent on its team. It was formed in 2005 to help landowners and investors buy, sell, and manage farmland and timberland. Monroe County is the area they name as theirs. They appraise timber, handle timber sales, and plan harvests and reforestation, then supervise the logging and replanting. In their words, "Farm & Timber Properties can handle the entire process," from inventories and appraisals through negotiations with timber companies. Forest management plans, GIS and GPS mapping, boundary line work, hunting leases, and alternate uses such as ponds and wildlife habitat are also on their list. The species they name are poplar, oak, and hickory. They name 100 acres as the size of a recreational property they can help manage, and 100,000 acres as the size of a commercial timberland property. This suits a landowner who wants timber sale help and land management from a registered forester, with real estate work available on the same team.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
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.
