The Healy Company has been in business since 1992 with a simple mission statement:

Treat clients fairly and provide them with the best quality timber appraisals and consulting services in the industry. 

Each year, we are “graded” by several clients (for report accuracy, delivery, cost, and report readability) and we consistently receive the highest marks in the industry.

The Healy Company is in business to provide a service to timber industry clients. We never forget this. Thus, we strive to make certain we stay in communication with clients, we prepare accurate appraisal reports that are easy-to-read, and that we listen to client input. Many firms forget this last item and feel that their opinion is the only one that matters. The Healy Company is of a different opinion: we believe that a good appraisal report is a function of all types of input received, not only from the marketplace, but also from the client, lender, etc. Thus, we actively solicit client input in an appraisal to make certain that we have considered all of the various issues that can affect value.

We also believe that an appraisal is an opinion of value. And, these opinions can vary depending upon the quality of the information considered. We do not believe in “delivering a value” to a client because this goes against our corporate culture. We try to provide a client with the best possible information and analyses and the appropriate valuation figure will come from this data. Therefore, it is incumbent upon our firm to stay in contact with market participants and obtain current market data in order to provide an accurate valuation of the property being appraised.

We maintain contact with our clients throughout the valuation process. This way, clients feel we have listened to their input and the final appraised value is the result of current data extracted and analyzed from the marketplace, discussions held with various market participants, and conversations held with the client and  other stakeholders (lenders, shareholders, etc.).
