Tyler Verdery, Founder and Owner
Tyler Verdery, founder and owner of Verdery Forest Management, graduated from the University of Georgia's School of Forest Resources in 1978. Before establishing VFM, Inc., he worked for five years as a timber buyer in the forest industry. A Registered Forester in Georgia and South Carolina, Tyler is also a licensed real estate broker and a Georgia Certified Appraiser, with expertise in land valuation and investment analysis.
​
With over 40 years of experience in the forestry business, Tyler has helped landowners with timber sales, land sales, and various aspects of land management. Many local clients may recognize the Verdery name from Tyler’s father, Ham Verdery, who worked as a pulpwood dealer in the area for 20 years.
Tyler began his career in southern forests at age 14, working in the family business on timber tracts and in woodyards. A lifetime of experience in southern forests has given him the confidence and expertise to assist landowners for over three decades.
