About Albemarle Land and Timber Services, Inc.
Albemarle Land and Timber Services, Inc. is based in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and works with landowners on both timberland and real estate. A Registered Forester and Consulting Forester handle the work, and the company is also a licensed NC Real Estate Corporation. The services cover a lot of ground: forest management plans and mapping, reforestation, timber stand improvement, timber appraisal, timber cruise and volume estimate, timber sale and contract administration, logging engineering, prescribed burning, and more, down to the basics like thinning and painting boundary lines. Species handled include Loblolly Pine, Slash Pine, Long Leaf Pine, hardwood, and Bald Cypress. When it's time to sell, they cruise and appraise the timber, locate the boundaries, and flag streamside zones or other areas that need protection before the sale. They also look at your tax basis in the timber, since that can affect what you owe on the sale. Once a time line is set, they run a sealed bid sale or a contract sale, aiming "to take full advantage of competitive timber markets, thus maximizing your dollar." They say this approach "insures top dollar is paid for the timber." The service area for timber sales and management runs from Eastern North Carolina up through Southern Virginia, with named coverage in Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, and Washington counties. The forester holds N.C. Registered Forester credential #1045. This fits a landowner in the northeastern North Carolina counties who wants one outfit to handle the forestry side and the paperwork side of a timber sale, including the tax questions that come with it.

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? →
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? →
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? →
