Surveys in Western North Carolina

DO NOT BUY REAL ESTATE WITHOUT A SURVEY!! Let me repeat myself, DO NOT BUY REAL ESTATE WITHOUT A SURVEY!! I can not tell you how important this is. Buying rural real estate that has not been surveyed within at least the past 15 years is a huge mistake. I have seen property owners who thought they had 60 acres based on an old deed and once surveyed only had 32 acres. Not only does a survey prove actual acreage, but it can show other important features such as right-of-ways for roads and utilities, or other structures that exist on the property, etc…

For residential clients buying within a subdivision, the property and all lots have been surveyed. Make sure you get a copy. With a copy in hand make sure there are no encroachments on your property by your neighbor’s driveway or other structures before purchasing.
