How a sealed-bid sale works

Step one

Assess

A consulting forester walks your tract and estimates the volume, species, and grade of your standing timber — so you know what you're selling before anyone bids.

Step two

Compete

We invite qualified mills and loggers in your area to submit sealed bids by a deadline. No buyer sees another's number — they bid their best price or lose the tract.

Step three

Choose

You review every bid with us. If the price is right, you sell — with a written contract that protects your land, roads, and streams. If it's not, you owe nothing.

Tell us about your land and we'll follow up promptly. No cost, no pressure, no obligation to sell.

We'll never share your information or sell your contact details.

Common questions

Do I have to sell if I get bids?

No. Bids obligate the buyers, not you. If the highest sealed bid doesn't meet your expectations, you walk away and owe nothing. Many landowners use the process just to learn what their timber is truly worth.

I have no idea what's on my land. Is that a problem?

That's exactly the problem we solve. The free assessment starts with a consulting forester walking your tract to estimate what's standing — species, volume, and quality — before any buyer gets involved.

What size tracts do you work with?

Every tract is different — the honest answer depends on your timber, access, and distance to mills. Tell us what you have and we'll give you a straight answer about whether a competitive sale makes sense for you.

Where do you operate?

We currently serve landowners across Virginia. If you're nearby but across a state line, reach out anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

How do you get paid?

A success fee — a percentage of the final sale price, agreed in writing before we start. No upfront costs, no hourly billing, and nothing owed if your timber doesn't sell.
