Generations

Since 1978

A family firm, rooted in forestry.

Wise Batten founded the company along with his wife, Brenda Batten, in 1978. Their son, Wise Batten, Jr., joined the firm in 2004, and it has been a family-run, forester-owned business ever since.

Its specialized background in forest management and real estate brokerage allows the company not only to assist clients in the procurement of properties, but also to provide for the land's long-term management.

Built on honesty and integrity.

For Landowners

Thinking of selling your land?

When a property has been in the family for generations, selling is never just a transaction. Our foresters and agents have walked the properties and closed sales throughout South Carolina and Georgia since 1978.

Ask a licensed agent about recent comparable sales in your area — no obligation.
