Testimonials
- From a former student:
- Hi Tom-
- I just wanted to tell you that the Legal Aspects classes were very helpful. After class ended I pulled out my 1001 Solved Surveying Problems (Van Sickle) and went through the legal portion. I was pleasantly surprised when I whipped through the questions getting them right and/or had enough background to deduce answers I didn't immediately know. It was pretty awesome. Thanks!
- Like most things in life you will get out of a course what you put into it. This student was dedicated to get all there was to offer. It’s a pleasure to guide such dedicated students to where they can find the answers.
- From a recent client:
- Dear Mr. Propst,
- Thank you very much for your expertise in reviewing the title report for my project in LA County. As many of the properties in the Littlerock area have been subdivided previous to (outside of) the map act, it was impossible for me to discern whether my project fell in that category. Apparently, the title company missed that too until you pointed that out . . . .
- TYour review and recommendation helped me avoid an additional entitlement with the County of Los Angeles that would have added another three months and $1000 to my project.
- Thank you very much!
- Years of experience in reading Title Reports allows a person to see what has been omitted from the policy as well as what is included. In this case the client inquired about the cost and schedule for preparing a “Certificate of Compliance” for a particular project site. I asked for the Title Report, and while on its face it would appear that a Certificate was required, I thought it unlikely that one had not already been filed, and suggested they have their Title Company perform further research. The previously filed Certificate was found in the record and the client’s schedule was suddenly back on track.
- From a potential client:
- TOM:
I deeply appreciate your help and information, and thank you for it.
I'll be discussing this with my wife and will get back to you about how we will proceed.
Gratefully, - This person called requesting a survey of the line between him a neighbor so they could replace a fence on the property line. I did some research and informed him of what the monuments should be at each end of the line, and if he could find them in an undisturbed condition they could simply place the fence between those found original undisturbed monuments (the line was fairly short). Some surveyors would say that only the surveyor should (or can) do that, but I think most would agree that with such a simple set of facts as were given, and the found original undisturbed monuments, the surveyor would add little or nothing to the reestablishment of that line. Times are not so hard that I need to pick the pocket of every homeowner that calls me for assistance.
Help! I am having technical issues.
