The survey specifications from a lender, just received: They want me to use the 1997 ALTA standards and prefer an Urban survey.

I put on my Dale Carnegie helpful hat and provided a detailed explanation of what I could and could not do, starting with the 2016 standards. But my goodness, 1997? Really? I gave my client a reasonable fee after adding in ten hours for the aggravation of dealing with clueless paralegals, because I can see it coming.

By lowering their standards back to 1997, it is those pre1987 prices they are searching for............

A: Who is Susan Sarandon?

This board is as good as riding 3 across in in an old standard cab truck going to the survey site in the morning. Joking and badgering each other. I cant decide if Paden is the Party Chief or the green hand. 🙂 Jp

Offer them an upgrade to Omega Level ALTA surveys for the low, low price of only $999 more than your quoted price to give them something that is worthless.

Dealing with the Paralegals is always a huge waste of time and a drain on patience.
