Jim Kramer lied about the survey that the neighbor paid him Xtra to do according to my neighbors drawing. Jim had the arrogance to tell me I could get other Surveyor's to challenge his, but no one in the Lakes Area will go against his Survey's. Illegal or not. I can't wait for the ethics board to complete their investigation & see how mighty little Jim is once he loses his licenses.

I worked with Jordan from KLD. He was very knowledgeable, got back to me right away and was less expensive than competitors. They created 2 new parcels for me and an easement. They took care of everything were up front about pricing and had an answer for all my questions. I usually had a response in my email within 20 minutes of emailing Jordan. I will definitely use them in the future.
