Heatley Surveying Co

Bill Heatley first surveyed for us in 1999 when we purchased our property. Conditions for the survey were very difficult. The property had not been surveyed for decades, was overgrown, and most of the survey work had to be done in creek bottoms. He was able to meet our contract deadlines and worked diligently for several days until the survey was completed. The survey he submitted was very professionally done and was readily accepted by the title company and mortgage company. Cost was $2000.00. In 2008, we sold 7.5 acres of our land and Mr. Heatley was the surveyor. Again he was very prompt and submitted the completed survey in a few days. As the buyer paid for the survey, I do not know what it cost. In 2010, we bought the 7.5 acres back and Mr. Heatley did the survey for us. He had to add a 60-foot easement as a requirement of our mortgage company. The survey was completed quickly and there were no problems with the title or mortgage company. In 2010, our neighbor questioned the property line between us. Mr. Heatley walked the property line with me and answered all of my questions so that I could 'speak with knowledge' when working with the neighbor. He did not charge me for his time. In 11/2011, Mr. Heatley did a new survey of our property for refinancing. He was prompt and professional. He always provides multiple copies of the survey for me, which is very convenient when I am working with title and mortgage companies. He charged $600.00. Property line disputes with our neighbor continued and it began to look like we would be involved in legal action. I called Mr. Heatley and told him of the problems and asked him to come to the property and put red flags along the property line for us. He was unable to do this, but went to our neighbor and worked with him at length. He was able to work out a solution with him. On March 20, 2012, he came to our house and explained the solution. A legal written agreement has been offered by the neighbor, reviewed by Mr. Heatley and signed by us. Mr. Heatley advocated on our behalf and effected the situation so that neighbors can work with each other again. He did not charge us for his efforts. Now with the agreement with our neighbor, we will be needing another survey. We will surely use Mr. Heatley for this. Trust is important when you need accurate and competent work done and Mr. Heatley has always come through for us.
