At FORECON, Inc., we offer comprehensive appraisal services that adhere to the highest standards, including the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Whether you need an appraisal for timberland, recreational land, or general property valuation, our certified experts are equipped to handle all aspects of the process.
Our appraisals cover a wide range of needs, including investment due diligence, collateral valuation, estate settlement, financial planning, and market value estimation for prospective sales. We design and manage every stage of the appraisal in-house, from planning and specification to data collection and valuation, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered.
Our team of professional foresters, forest technicians, and wildlife biologists conducts thorough timber inventories, wildlife assessments, and damage evaluations. Using advanced GIS mapping and our proprietary timber database system (TIGER), we process data to provide accurate growth and yield modeling, future harvest projections, and comprehensive property assessments. This allows us to offer clear insights into the timber, land, and other assets that contribute to the overall value.
Our appraisal reports are detailed and transparent, including a review of comparable land sales, discounted cash flow models, and analyses of timber quality, quantity, and value by species. We also include maps, photos, and aerial imagery to provide a complete understanding of the property. Every report discusses the property’s Highest and Best Use, capital value of assets, and the three approaches to value (Income, Cost, and Sales Comparison), concluding with a well-supported market value estimate.
FORECON's appraisal services are tailored to help you make informed decisions, whether you're considering an acquisition, managing an estate, or planning your finances. Our experienced team is available to meet with bankers, trust officers, attorneys, and other stakeholders to review appraisal results or discuss financial strategies to best meet your needs.
