I was dealing with a property line issue with a neighbor. I made calls and left messages. I was…read morefrustrated in trying to find someone who could help. I called Orca Land Surveying. Can you believe it? Someone answered the phone! What a concept in todays business world! I was so happy to actually speak to a person. I explained my situation and asked if they could help. The person on the other end of the phone calmly explained they could and the process. She called me back when she said she would, keeping her word. She explained costs and when they could perform the property surveyance. From phone call to completion was one day! Everyone I talked to were professional and caring. The gentlemen who performed the survey were efficient and professional. All of my questions no matter how "silly" were answered patiently. I appreciate the customer service, friendly employees, and quick service provided. Thank you Orca team!

I made the mistake of calling just one surveyor at a time to try and get the last county requirements met. 3 times I got strung along or ignored for over a month before I started on the next one.

Knowledgeable and helpful, they have walked me through the process and made very helpful suggestions. Could not be happier!

Similar bad experience to Alex below where the contract was vague enough to think we'd get what we…read morediscussed but also vague enough to not get what we discussed, ultimately the created an easement three times bigger than our previous easement, completely unnecessarily just to save themselves the time of being precise. Now they're trying to charge us more, or not complete the job as originally requested. Originally we requested an as-built easement 5ft on each side for a new waterline and mentioned we had a trace wire that could be used to get the exact location. Instead they created a much wider easement on my property than I previously had. I've emailed several times to remedy because any time I call I can't get a hold of Joe.

Avoid this company!…read more This company charged us for one easement and delivered something completely different than what we discussed during several conversations. I have been trying to get a hold of them for weeks to remedy the situation and still have not heard back. They did not deliver what we paid for. I will be pursuing legal action at this point in hopes of getting a resolution.

During a boundary negotiation with neighbor that might lead into an adverse possession resolution…read moreit was determined that the need for a survey of the property would be a requirement. I interviewed 3 different surveyor companies and chose CSI to complete this work. The scope and time frame was reviewed with each organization mostly all had very full work commitments which is expected during all the current building activity within the local area. I was given expected time frame from CSI that would support my legal activity as it progressed. They also were very helpful in the "education" of "exact" needs for legal actions of various types along with the requirement of filing final product exhibits and property descriptions variance. Working together towards the final product in a detailed and defined manner also resulted in a mutual agreement on the estimated cost. This supported both of our objectives and resulted in a timely but not pushed product that I can now present in a validated legal means. I would recommend CSI to perform such services if asked and also remind those that ask that if you want something really bad most likely that is the product you may end up with at a greater cost. Dave and his organization made this aspect very informative and cost effective. Thanks....

I also used their website to get a quote a week ago, and still haven't had any response.

After reaching out to the APS team, they responded back to us within 24 hours letting us know they were backed up with project requests but that they had availability to start looking at our project in a few weeks. And just like they promised, they came back a few weeks later with a proposal on the work with a detailed breakdown of what to expect. On the day of them coming out to our property they arrived on-time and finished quickly, and then were fast to respond to all questions we had during the follow-up process of creating our property's topographic map. All in all we were very impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and responsiveness this team had, and would recommend them to our friends if they ever needed a surveyor.

As an all-cash buyer, I wasn't anticipating very many challenges with our transaction…read more Traditionally, the buyer doesn't select the title company that is used in the deal, and for our deal, the seller picked Rainier. It was a horrible experience, and no one on the team seemed to know what they were doing. Updates via email were non-informative; just the same contact information, agent photos and legal disclaimers. Then the icing on the cake was getting their demand for sensitive identity information and ID photocopies only hours before close. They had me over a barrel and I could either submit the information over unsecured email or risk being in breach of contract. I understand statutory requirements, but nothing explains why this required info was demanded at the 11th hour, or why it wasn't provided with the rest of the documents. My close was at risk, I couldn't sleep, and the sad thing is that it all could have been avoided if Rainier just did their job. Feel free to use these guys if you like drama and surprises. For me, I will write into my future deals not to use Rainier to handle title.
