About John L Graham
John L Graham is an appraisal business in Butler, Mississippi, serving Butler and Choctaw County. The owner holds the Certified General Real Property Appraiser credential and says the goal is "dependable and accurate appraisals," the kind banks and major lenders require. The owner also says there are years of experience behind the work. Timber appraisal is the only forestry service on the list. The others are land, residential and commercial appraisal, estate appraisal, estate planning and employee relocation. This is a valuation service. It suits a landowner who needs a number for standing timber and land, whether for a sale, a settlement or an estate, rather than a logging or buying arrangement. The owner describes a mix of phone, e-mail and an online portal that is open 24/7 for placing orders, checking status and downloading completed reports. The business promises "personalized customer service," and says its investment in technology means fast turn times. It is a good fit for a landowner who wants a certified appraiser's value on timber and land and prefers to handle the work by phone, e-mail or online.

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.
