A property (boundary) survey is your visual of what's really on the land. Reviewing it means making sure the property matches the legal description — and that nothing crosses a line it shouldn't. Here's what to check.
This guide covers reviewing a property/land survey (the kind ordered on a real estate closing). It's general information, not a substitute for a licensed surveyor's certification.
If something's off: encroachments, an unrecorded easement, or a structure over a setback can become title exceptions or contract issues — raise them with your title officer, the surveyor, and the buyer's attorney before closing.
These guides scratch the surface. Title Agent Academy walks you through real files, step by step, until it's second nature.
