Knight's Land Surveying

My neighbor has his own surveyor so he talked to my surveyor and got him to agree to get one of us to pay $225 just to do all three properties. The surveyor has been out for 2 weeks and he had already identified some boundary lines so I asked him for the report. He said that they’re waiting to hear from me and my neighbors because my neighbor asked not to finish the report. I told him that my neighbor is trying to take some of the property. If I don’t know where the boundary is, how do I know what he wanted. I agreed with the surveyor, I accepted his estimate, I will pay what I agreed to earlier so he should finish my portion now. When I told him that, he identified and put on the survey exactly where my neighbor was trespassing on my property so that’s on the survey as well. I appreciated that they agreed with me. They’re outstanding and they helped me. I would recommend them. Once they found out what my neighbor was trying to do, they didn't hold back on finishing the report. He gave me an estimate between $350-450 for doing the survey in my property. I called one surveyor and they wanted over $1,000 to do the survey. What they do is they get a plot and they use GPS equipment to find the coordinate. They located some of the original pins still where they’re supposed to be. Some pins were moved through excavating ditches so they had to locate the original position and they put in new pins in their place to identify the coordinates or the boundaries of the properties. They told me that they have to check the lines because if they’re all on one, that means everybody else’s line could be off, too. In order to do an accurate survey, they have to basically check our whole street and I guess that’s why it costs too much. They marked it, took all the information that they collected, wrote up a report and a drawing, made the official documents for the survey, and then certified it as being true and correct. I am happy with the result because they identified where the property lines are. Through their survey, I found out that my neighbor is 10 feet over on the front of my property and almost 20 feet over on the back of my property.
