About Milliken Advisors Inc.
Milliken Advisors Inc. is a forestry consulting and timberland brokerage business in Columbia, North Carolina. It works with landowners on the kind of jobs that come with owning timberland, from planning a sale to planting trees back after a harvest. The work on offer covers forest management plans and mapping, reforestation, timber stand improvement, timber appraisal, timber cruise and volume estimates, timber sale and contract administration, insect, disease and fire protection, prescribed burning, forest real estate, recreation management, forest taxation, utilization and marketing, herbicide application, and stewardship plans. The forester holds N.C. Registered Forester credential #1394. Milliken Advisors serves landowners across a long list of North Carolina counties, among them Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford, Buncombe, and Dare. The business has been working with landowners since 1949. Its own description of how a job runs is plain: "Once we know what you want, we take a good look at your land: its current state, what's happening in the market, and what the future could hold. Then we build a strategy that actually fits your needs." On follow-through, it says "You don't have to worry about juggling contractors or chasing down deadlines." This fits a landowner who wants one firm to handle a timber sale or a management plan from start to finish, rather than piecing the work together themselves.

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
