Big city or rural, doesn't make a difference.
People never seem to get the "perception" part of this dilemma.
The "appearance" of a potential conflict of interest exists.
Someone who has an interest in the results of the survey should not be involved in running the lines, doing the research, or anything else.
It's extremely hard to prove a negative, as in "while surveying her own property, the assistant did not report dimensions that would be favorable to herself".
I have never understood why folks don't realize that an irate or hostile adjoiner is NEVER going to believe the survey is unbiased in the event of a legitimate dispute.
As a notary public, why can't I notarize something my wife signs?

Many years ago I purchased a portion of a tract from another surveyor.?ÿ We had another surveyor with whom we both had worked at an earlier time take the lead.?ÿ The third surveyor ran the gun and told us where to go while we ran the prism pole and drove the bars.?ÿ Three surveyors on one survey.?ÿ Buyer, seller and buddy.
The realtor should mind their business. They are not in the position to be offering advice.
Now, if the purchaser was the signing surveyor, I'd refer it elsewhere.?ÿ
I surveyed my home before I was licensed. However, if I was signing my own survey, I'd refer it elsewhere.

I disagree. But if you have never lived in a small town, you would never understand.

I do not play well with realtors especially when they offer up surveying advice.
I would struggle to dedicate more than 10 seconds of thought to comments made by the average real estate agent and I am a
real estate broker.
