MT, I will tell ya one thing. I am immediately suspicious of a surveyor that is recommended by the listing broker. Brokers know who the Santa Claus surveyors are and you can also see the look of disdain on their face when you show up with the opposite of that.

Strangely, the surveyors that I have come to know and like are the ones that have done surveys on the boats that I AM SELLING. It is interesting to watch somebody comb over a boat that you know way better than they do to see if they find everything.
