Henderson & Associates

Faithfully serving South Carolina landowners, investors, and perspective buyers since 1982. Timber has always been an important asset to South Carolina's economy. Today, there are 13.1 million acres of forest land in South Carolina and the total economic impact of forestry on the state's economy cannot be overstated. Forestry management and the continued upkeep of the health of South Carolina's forested land is vital. The importance of forests is measured not just by the lumber produced but by the variety of other products that directly result from harvesting trees, including paper and pulp, furniture, cabinets and case goods, paneling and millwork, and even chopsticks and toothpicks.

The timber market is multifaceted and sometimes challenging to deal with, particularly for those landowners who do not understand the various factors that affect wood products and their associated stumpage values. In fact, landowners who received professional forestry assistance before harvesting timber averaged 23 percent more income per acre than those owners who sold their own timber ("A Consumer's Guide to Consulting Foresters"). Our firm possesses the specialized knowledge and expertise required to maximize the timber sale values based on the species and volume of timber to be sold, and also comprehends tax implications associated with timber sales.
