McSteen & Associates

Business responded to complaint McSteen & Associates was not involved in preparing any survey for Mr [redacted] .Several years ago McSteen did prepare a mortgage survey for the previous owner of property Mr [redacted] was interested in purchasingA mortgage survey is for the exclusive use of the Lender and UnderwriterNo property lines are identified or determined, and it cannot be used for any construction purposes.Unfortunately at some point a previous owner constructed items that encroached common propertyAt the request of the [redacted] Company, McSteen worked with the Association that owned the common property, the City and the County to clear the encroachment by preparing a lot split and consolidation, which has been filed and approvedAt this point the property is free of any encroachments.Mr [redacted] was under no obligation to purchase the property in question, with or without encroachmentsAlthough Mr [redacted] would like to hold McSteen responsible for the construction of the encroachment, we played no part in that workIn addition, although Mr [redacted] would like someone to pay for the expenses he incurred in making a purchase decision regarding this property, McSteen was never hired by Mr [redacted] and did NO work for Mr [redacted] , and as such are under NO obligation to reimburse him for any expenses incurred, nor cover any future indemnification.We have referred Mr [redacted] to our insurance company should he wish to pursue this matter further.McSteen & Associates, Inc

McSteen did the survey for Mr [redacted] 's purchase of the property in late early At that time McSteen did not discover the encroachment in question because of their malpractice in that survey it was only discovered during the titling for my purchase from Mr [redacted] in Due to McSteen's malpractice I was forced to engage a lawyer and was stuck with the legal bills previously mentioned IF, McSteen had no obligations to me WHY did he agree verbally to my attorney pay me $for damages AND indemnify me for $if I was required to dismantle fence and landscaping in the following years??? As far as referrals to McSteen's insurance company, repeated calls to them have gone unanswered Again, MrF [redacted] admitted their misdeed to me, my real estate agent [redacted] ***, and my attorney Thomas Ritzert on multiple occasions MrF [redacted] and McSteen is now trying to backtrack on their admitted failures as surveyors as well as their verbal agreement to rectify it the damages I have suffered because of it
