(I've never done a survey but I wonder if maybe the split follows the mortgage vs. deed of trust divide :)If you actually have a deal you're working on and want a good real estate attorney I can recommend a few, but most of them are very busy (like good contractors) so they'd rather wait until someone has a deal under contract than spend time with tire kickers.

I would GREATLY appreciate anyone who would take the time to complete this short survey.

plats, surveys, etc.
