Here are some true stories of clients and the pitfalls they encountered by not knowing their property lines:
Kay from Annapolis:
An old adage says, “Good fences make good neighbors.” But a
misplaced fence can cause a rift of gigantic proportions. My
neighbor had been unknowingly using my land for 15 years. He had
planted trees and shrubs, and had even hired a contractor to erect a
fence. We both believed our property was properly marked at the
fence. But after Advanced Surveys, Inc., surveyed the property, I
found out that the fence was 20 feet over my property line. I came
very close to losing my property to adverse possession. If I hadn’t
had my property surveyed, I would have lost property that would have
been almost impossible to get back.
Tim from Columbia:
My wife and I recently bought our first home. When the real estate
agent showed us the property, we asked where the property lines
were. She pointed to some wooden stakes and said that they
represented the boundaries. We felt assured and went to settlement.
After about a year, we decided to put in a pool. We talked to a
contractor who said that we needed to have a boundary survey
performed before ground breaking could begin. We felt confident that
we already knew where the boundary of our property was, but we hired
Advanced Surveys, Inc., to perform a boundary survey just to be on
the safe side. It turns out that the stakes that the realtor pointed
out to us were not the property lines but actually something
altogether different. The friendly staff of ASI explained that just
like a doctor, lawyer, or even realtor must have a license, the only
professional licensed to perform and find boundaries are Licensed
Professional Land Surveyors or Property Line Surveyors. It turns out
that our sprawling backyard was actually much smaller than we ever
realized! Thankfully, we were able to stop construction on the
original location of the pool, because as it was, it would have
straddled both our and our neighbor’s property.
Sadly, stories like these are too common. Advanced Surveys, Inc., has been in business doing surveys for over 30 years. We have successfully completed thousands of surveys. We are licensed and insured. Contact us today for your free estimate!

"They did exactly what I asked and exactly what they said they were

Catonsville, MD
"I spoke to 3 other companies and none of them were as professional
as Advances Surveys. From the initial contact, I felt comfortable in
hiring them. The person I made the appointment with explained
exactly what my estimate would cover and how long it would take. The
crew who did the survey were very polite, explained what they were
doing/looking for as they were working. It took less time to
complete then estimated and the property markers are causing quite a
stir in the neighborhood - property lines are not where everyone
thought they were! "

"I was very pleased with Advance Survey's courteous and professional
manner. They responded very quickly. My situation was accessed as
far as my needing to establishing where my property lines began and
ended. The job was done in a most superb satisfaction. It is
a wonderful feeling to know where your property lines begin and
ends, especially when you have a person living next to you like I
do. Thank you Advanced Survey for solving that problem me.
