David Massey Land Surveying

This has to be the most difficult service provider I have ever dealt with. Recently purchased a home in Key Largo and needed a Survey for insurance and mortgage purposes. I asked around and was told that Massey was the best if not the ONLY Surveyor in town. There was one other, a David Barrow with whom I spoke once who committed to get back to me but never did. ` Anyway, It took over three weeks just to get a response to multiple emails and phone calls to Massey Richards requesting a quote! They only answer their phone occasionally, voice mails weren't returned and email responses took days at times if at all. And what a quote it was--$1850!!! I asked about why it was so high and was told that it was because the lot was 1 acre. Not sure if that is correct or not but we had no choice since Massey Richards was the only game in town. Once the quote came, work could not be started until they received a check for 50%. They do NOT accept credit cards. Due to time constraints and the need to close quickly, we had to drive down to Key Largo on a Friday afternoon to drop off a check for 50% so we could get the work scheduled, The work began a week later and was competed a week after that. Of course, the Survey could not be forwarded to us without the final check. Again, we drove down the two hours to Key largo to drop off the check for the remaining 50% so that we could finally get the survey. The office is only .open until 3 PM (sometimes) so we had to drive aggressively to make it on time. I am no expert on Surveys so I can't comment on the quality. I can however comment on the fact that I was told that there would be markers on the corners of the property. Sadly, some were there and some weren't.
