[SARCASM]Come on man, quit asking so many questions and being difficult......Just give me a number.[/SARCASM]

Just tell the guy that you're not going to give any sort of proposal until he tells you exactly what he wants surveyed.

The guy wants a quote, give him a quote: "We go to gain a little ground which hath in it little profit."

That was the official definition of " Beating around the bush".

Sounds like a T & M job.

I use a similar number all the time. You only haveto sell one...

$0.10 for the 1st Sq ft~ doubled for every sq ft thereafter.

My ALTA story for the day is a little different but still left me scratching my head. Client had us do three ALTAs on adjoining lots, three different owners, with the plan to do one after they were consolidated and then after construction was done. We prepared the plan to consolidate the lots and the municipality approved it based the clients plan to purchase the lots. On the last day the plan was able to be recorded before it became null and void, they recorded it without having bought the property. Now they want the ALTA of the consolidated lot even though no deeds were transferred yet.

It may be possible that they bought out the company thru a Cooperate merger that included a statement including certain properties.
Many of those documents do not find their way into deed records.
Ask them for a copy of their proof of ownership and let them know that your new paperwork must include that information.

There are tons of twists and turns possible on this one. Around here applicants must submit an affidavit of legal interest to amend real property configurations. If the Deed did not have an instrument number superior to the consolidation the entire process would blow up in the owners face. It could go so far as criminal charges for the false affidavit.

The three landowners were three separate individuals. Everything was prepared,approved and whatnot with the understanding our client would be purchasing the 3 separate lots before the plan was recorded. As it stands today, there is recorded plan, stating our client as the owner of the property, even though no deeds granting them ownership have been recorded. They expect to close the sale of the properties mid-May.

Here we would've listed the current owners on the plat with current deed references and recorded it. It would've created a joint ownership situation with the newly combined lot, but that's better than listing an owner that currently has no dog in the fight. Title folks are probably upset no matter which way it gets done.

Edit: This is also why all copies of plats that I release prior to recording have "For Review Only, Not for Recording" watermarked over my seal and often watermarked diagonally across the entire drawing to prevent recording by anyone other than me. Not 100% foolproof, but I could prove that someone went to a lot of trouble to shoot themselves in the foot if anyone tried to claim that the premature recording was my fault.

Do not forget the "handling fees"

I won't provide a quote without a Title.

I'm gonna cut your price by 1/2 on the first 20 square feet.
