Timberland Advisors, Inc.
This firm's office is in Rock Hill, SC, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the North Carolina forestry register lists it as working 14 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.
About Timberland Advisors, Inc.
Charlotte's ring of counties, worked from an office the register places just over the line in Rock Hill, South Carolina: Mecklenburg, Gaston, Union, Cabarrus, Iredell and the rest of the southwestern piedmont, fourteen in all. The registered service list is compact and sale-focused, covering appraisal, cruise, sale administration, reforestation, stand improvement, forest real estate, taxation, marketing and wildlife, with no prescribed burning, surveying or wetland work. That is a timber-sale practice rather than a full-service land consultancy. The business now trades publicly as Forestry and Land: the timberlandadvisors.com address redirects to forestryandland.com, which still carries Timberland Advisors as its site name. The practice is Tim Cartner's, the registered forester the state records against this entry. He says he is a Carolina native with a 1994 forestry degree from North Carolina State University, licensed to practise both forestry and real estate in North and South Carolina, with over three decades of what he calls boots-on-the-ground forestry and real estate experience, and he publishes a mailing address at a post office box in Albemarle, North Carolina. His own stated work area is wider than the register's fourteen counties and crosses the state line: seventeen North Carolina counties, adding Forsyth, Randolph, Davidson, Davie and Yadkin to the piedmont core, plus Chester, Chesterfield, Kershaw, Lancaster and York in South Carolina, with work outside that area taken case by case and mainly for buyer representation and large-acreage timber sales. He offers forest management plans at three levels of detail, most on a ten-year horizon, all meeting the requirements of the Forestry Present-Use Property Tax Program and priced case by case; timber appraisals broken down by species and product, with statistically verified volumes and aerial and terrain maps; and represented timber sales. He is equally direct about what he will not take on: no yard-tree removal, no clearing of housing lots and no hunting leases. As described on forestryandland.com, read 23 September 2026.
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
