The survey commercial closings are built on.
An ALTA/NSPS survey is the detailed land title survey buyers, lenders, and title companies rely on to close transactions. We handle every requested Table A item completely in-house and keep title teams in the loop from start to finish.
The most thorough survey a property can get.
Built to a unified national standard recognized by title insurers and lenders nationwide, this comprehensive survey combines property lines, physical terrain improvements, and the specific easements or encumbrances listed in your title commitment onto a single, certified drawing.
Because everyone receives an electronic copy, it eliminates the tedious back-and-forth that slows commercial closings, allowing the buyer, lender, and title company to collaborate instantly on the exact same layout.

We verify every required Table A item before our field crew deploys, ensuring the survey is flawless from day one and your closing is never delayed by a missed detail.
