Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy land with standing timber in Santa Clara County?
Yes. We buy the land and the standing timber together. You do not need to hire a logging company, arrange a timber sale, or clear the property before selling.
How is timber land valued in Santa Clara County?
We evaluate based on total acreage, estimated board feet of standing timber, tree species and age class, logging road access, topography, proximity to mills, and comparable timberland sales in Santa Clara County.
Should I sell the timber separately before selling the land?
It depends on your goals. Selling timber separately can sometimes yield more total proceeds, but it requires hiring a forester, managing a timber sale, and waiting for regrowth to restore land value. We buy both together so you get one clean transaction.
What if the timber has already been harvested?
We still buy the land. Recently harvested timberland has reduced short-term value but retains long-term potential. We base our offer on current conditions, not what the timber was worth before harvest.
Do I need a timber cruise or forestry appraisal?
It is not required. If you have a recent timber cruise, it helps us evaluate faster. If not, we can arrange our own assessment as part of the due diligence process at no cost to you.
Can I sell timber land enrolled in a managed timber program in California?
Yes. We work with land enrolled in state forestry programs, managed timberland plans, and conservation tax incentive programs. Any program obligations are reviewed and addressed before closing.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
