Forest Product Sales

An integral part of BF’s business as a forest resource management firm is to provide our clients with the tools and capabilities to maximize the revenue potential of their forest products.  Adequate planning and proper marketing are vital factors to consider when planning the sale of a property’s valuable forest resources. 

BF has been conducting forest product sales on behalf our clients for approximately 30 years.  It is this expertise that allows BF to provide a service that will best benefit our clients financially and provide the best management of long term forest resource goals. 

BF provides a turn key service handling all aspects of the forest product sale, always keeping the landowner goals at the front of the decision making process.  Such services include a harvesting plan, where a complete inventory of the products to be sold is conducted and a report displaying the product breakdown prepared.  

We make a point to keep up with the latest in forestry practices such as streamside management zones and state Best Management Practices, and to incorporate them into every action taken on our clients' lands.  Sensitive areas such as hardwood corridors along creeks are routinely delineated to insure the best possible job.

Using the inventory data, BF assists the landowner in advertising and marketing the products for sale to a substantial list of reputable buyers, in order to insure income from the sale is maximized and the quality of the harvesting operations meets the management goals of the client. 

BF assists the landowner with the preparation of all legal documents and contracts to finalize the sale process.  BF will also provide recommendations as to particular conditions or restrictions that may be of value to a particular property when planning the sale.

To assure a quality harvesting operation is conducted, BF provides thorough supervision of all harvesting activities.  BF works closely with harvesting contractors and buyers throughout the entire process so there are less hassles for the client. 

BF often provides these services based on a commission rate that could range from 10%-15% of the total income received from the forest product sale.  Other arrangements can also be made depending on scope of work and particular goals of the property owner.
