CRES Surveys

Utterly unprofessional, disrespectful, and to be avoided. These people cannot be relied on. I have had CRES Surveys perform surveys for my clients in the past, and I recently ordered another survey from them. They said they could get to it in the next few weeks, and would contact me to make arrangements. After waiting several weeks, I called to check in and see if they had an idea of when it might be done, and after sitting on hold for several minutes, the person on the phone said that they had "decided not to do this survey." When I asked why, they said that "it was not going to be financially advantageous," with no other explanation, which makes no sense at all. I have employed them to do similar surveys in the same neighborhood before. All of this with no communication with me.

Very, very well. Called Alan on Thursday, the survey team arrive the following Monday and I had the survey in hand just one week after I called. Terrific service.

This company was recommended to me by a title co. to survey my property in Arlington, VA. I was quoted $350 for plat survey and $300 to mark the corners for a total of $650. I was hesitant about the corner marking, but the guy from CRES told me $300 was a discounted rate for marking the corners, and that if I came back later to have it done separately, it would cost more. I've never had a survey done and know little about them, but the whole discount for marking the corners thing sounded like a "hard sell". it spurred me to go to Angie's List and contact a highly rated surveyor. I was quoted $350 total for both the plat survey and the corner marking and went on to have a great transaction with that provider who was professional and friendly. The "F" rating for price is obvious, and the "C" rating for professionalism is for the b.s. "discount" on the corner marking.
