“I love this large oak tree. Is it located on this lot?”
“The neighbors storage building seems awfully close to this lot. Is it over the property line?”
“Will my house design fit on this lot?”
“How deep is this lot?”
In your quest to locate the perfect lot, have you asked yourself any of these questions? Can you answer them with confidence?
Probably not, without the benefit of a recent survey.
Let us help you make an informed decision on your lot purchase. Even if you are ready to buy, make your offer contingent upon a current survey. Some sellers may even be willing to split the cost with you.
Buying a house?
Having a current survey can reveal encroachments, giving you the opportunity to have the seller remedy the problem BEFORE you close. A current survey will show the location of the house on the property and determine whether it is located within the building setback lines. Plotting the improvements on your current map will also show you how much room you have for those additions you are planning.

“How deep is this lot?”
Can your real estate agent answer questions like these? Probably not, without the benefit of a recent survey.
A survey will enable potential buyers to see the property corners and property line of your lot.
This can help them picture their dream home on YOUR lot.
Selling your house?
Having a current survey can speed up closing by showing potential buyers that there are no boundary or building setback problems on your property. Buyers will also be able to see where the improvements are located on your property and if the potential for adding on exists. Most buyers request a survey to be completed before they will buy your house. Why not have it ready for them?
