About Edward F Travis
Edward F Travis is a forestry consulting and land brokerage business based in Mobile. It works under the name Travis Timberlands and describes its work as "We help you manage and find timberland." Ed Travis started in real estate appraisal in 1971. The business covers timber and land markets in numerous counties in southwest Alabama and southeastern Mississippi, and Warren is one of the counties it serves. The work runs from timber sales and timber sale management to timber inventory, forest appraisal and forest investment analysis. It also covers tax basis establishment and reconstruction, timber cost basis studies, prescribed burning, chemical applications, GIS and GPS maps and forest litigation support. For land buyers and sellers, it lists, sells and finds rural land. It advises owners on how to market a property by examining its timber, its economics, and its wildlife and environmental considerations, and it passes access, easement and tax details on to the owner's legal and accounting advisers. Ed Travis is a Registered Forester in Alabama and Mississippi and an Alabama real estate broker. He is a retired Alabama certified general appraiser and a past chairman of the Alabama Chapter of the Association of Consulting Foresters of America. He has valued large timberland holdings from Virginia to Texas, and the business puts its approach this way: "See the forest beyond the trees." This business suits owners who want one adviser to look at the timber, the land and the sale together, especially owners of both small and large tracts.

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.
