Tax Relief: 200 Acres in Oregon

The Challenge

Robert owned 200 acres of timberland in Oregon that he purchased as an investment in the 1990s. Now retired and on a fixed income, the annual property taxes of $8,400 were eating into his retirement savings. The property hadn’t appreciated as expected, and at 78 years old, he didn’t have the energy to develop or manage it. He needed cash for medical expenses and to supplement his retirement.

The Solution

RKW Land Group understood Robert’s situation and moved quickly. We conducted a timber cruise and environmental assessment, then presented a cash offer of $340,000 within one week. We expedited the closing process and completed everything in 21 days, allowing Robert to access his funds quickly.

The Results

• Closed in just 21 days
• Robert received $340,000 cash
• Eliminated $8,400 annual tax burden
• No realtor commissions (saved $20,400)
• Funds available for medical care and retirement
• Professional timber assessment included at no cost
