The less expensive the tract, the less they think you should charge

Fella calls up. He’s got a farm out there and he’s givin’ the boy a few acres. He needs to get a deed drawn up.
We work up a price and tell him about what a subdivision is and how much that will cost and he says, “What? That much? Heck, I’m GIVIN’ the boy the ground!”
That has been the go-to expression for me in my head any time there’s a family involved in a subdivision.
I guess he figured that if he wasn’t getting paid for the ground, it should be cheap to get surveyed.
Oh, yes. That is a classic example. I’ve encountered that many times.
Since you want the survey cheap, is it ok if it’s wrong by 50′, or 500′?
(Keep caps from deceased surveyor, or one who is no longer licensed in case he says ok)

……and cash only and no written contract….. 🙂
And you responded, “In that case, give me the land, and I’ll survey it for free.”?
