Comprehensive, Credible, and Competent Appraisal Services 
of Rural Land Property in the Carolinas and the Southeast

We specialize in appraisal services and valuation of investment and recreational timberland property in South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as farmland, industrial, rural residential, and transitional property. Our staff consists of expert forestry appraisers who are certified at the highest level by the States of South Carolina and North Carolina as both Registered Foresters and Certified General Real Estate Appraisers. At RLI, we see this dual certification as necessary for meeting competency standards and developing credible valuations of woodland property. Additionally, staff appraisers are also credentialed as Certified Foresters by the Society of American Foresters, and reciprocal forestry and appraisal licenses are available in other states, including Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and states where RLI maintains regional competency.

Our staff are fully capable of conducting systematic inventories and creating fully supported valuations of your timber. Keeping this process in-house, we can decrease the duration and cost of your assignment and increase the credibility of your results.
