> Thank you for making my point.

You're welcome. I do quite a bit of work in rural areas and have yet to encounter a surveyor who I think would be so unethical as to act as the buyer's realtor to be paid by the seller at closing while also providing the survey that the buyer, title insurer, and lender are expected to rely upon.

Yes, but anyone who's ever performed a survey to the ALTA/ACSM minimum standards will have since part of the standard requires labeling the map as such. :>

I just wanted to clarify my opinion on this after Kent started putting words in my mouth.

I don't see it as a conflict of interest as long as both the buyer and seller know beforehand that you will also be doing the surveying. I don't doubt that some outsider from the city would claim it to be. If you were serious about doing this, I would ask both boards for their opinion.

Most people in small towns are accustomed to seeing people wearing multiple hats. That's the only way of getting any work done. It's never a problem until one of the outsiders start complaining.

Sorry for the delay of getting back to this post. I had a little working vacation going on. I went out to the hills west of Austin to mark the south line of a place my Cousin just bought. Since he is an excellent cook and has a really good fishing hole, I just couldn't resist. I'm not sure how he will get any post in the ground though.
