Anyone ever use one? Any suggestions on what to look for when screening these guys, what questions to ask, etc? How accurate are they, and what are the chances that different surveyors can have different findings? We only need to define the property line on one side of our lot (and that is all we wish to pay for).

There's some uncertainly about the boundary between our property and one of our neighbors. Parcel maps given to us by our seller indicate there is a 10'-wide city-owned path between our properties, but we need to clarify where that is. Our neighbors park their vehicle on what we believe to be part of our property. They say it is part of the city-owned section.

Also, before we hire a surveyor, anyone know if this type of dispute can typically be settled with the help of the municipality, since city land is involved?

Thx. for any input.
