About Leonard Ray Taylor, Inc.
Registration 392 is the tenth-oldest entry on the North Carolina register, about as long a tenure as this directory contains. Coverage runs seventy counties — the entire mountain west, the whole piedmont, and down through the sandhills to the southeastern coast, stopping short only of the northeastern corner. Thirteen services, including appraisal, cruising and sale administration, plus forest taxation, forest real estate and prescribed burning. For a landowner whose sale is tangled up with an estate or a tax question, that last combination is the point.
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? →
runs the sale and handles the contract
