2011ALTA/ACSM Highlighted Changes

Highlighted Changes from the 2005 ALTA/ACSM Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for the New 2011 Version. Smith-Roberts National Corp. ( http://www.smith-roberts.com ) is a nationwide ALTA Land Survey coordinator and the originator of the DesignReady Survey® that specializes in coordinating and reviewing Land Title Surveys for multi-site, multi-state real estate transactions. We are staffed by Professional Land Surveyors who are trained to address survey and title issues prior to closing and during the due diligence period. We require that all surveys comply with the current ALTA/ACSM Minimum Standard Detail Requirements, which is one of the highest standards in the surveying profession. By using these standards and having Professional Land Surveyors oversee all aspects of the transaction; the completion of the project is assured to be timely and thorough. There are many advantages in having one firm in charge of the survey acquisition stage of a multi-site, multi-state property transaction. Probably the most important advantage is that we, as professional surveyors, can effectively communicate your needs to other licensed surveyors in a manner that they might better understand. With us acting as liaison it greatly reduces difficulties you may have experienced when dealing with surveyors from different regions of the country. Since Smith-Roberts was founded, we have developed a directory of quality survey firms all across the country. These firms recognize that if they provide quality product, prompt service, and reasonable fees that we will use them again, thereby giving us a preferred client status. We are continually in contact with the client and the individual surveyors to make certain that the time frames established are on track and any problems that are discovered are resolved. Read less
