About Forest Resource Consultants, Inc.
Forest Resource Consultants, Inc. is a forestry consulting firm based in Macon. It has been growing forests and landowner returns since 1970. Its certified foresters handle forest management plans, timber harvesting, reforestation, wildlife habitat work and prescribed burns. The firm also does timber appraisal, real estate appraisal and sales, hunt lease administration, GPS mapping, and investment and tax counseling. Its listed counties include Aiken, Greenville, Lexington, Richland and Spartanburg, and it says it works across the Southeast. The stated minimum is 50 acres. The firm says it builds a tailored strategy whether you own "50 acres or 50000," so owners of different sizes are taken on. They list the Association of Consulting Foresters among their credentials, along with a South Carolina Certified General Real Estate Appraiser. On selling timber, they explain the two common methods. A lump sum pays you up front for all the timber in the sale. Pay-as-cut pays you as the timber is harvested, based on volume and product type. They say poor product sorting and careless harvesting can cost a landowner money or damage the land, and they say they work to protect your interests from start to finish. This firm suits a landowner with at least 50 acres who wants one consultant for planning, timber sales, land transactions and estate or tax questions. From frc.us.com, read 16 October 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? → — 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.
