Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate Q and A – Surveys
July 28, 2010 By
Q: It has been suggested to us that when we buy a piece of property we should have a survey done. We have done a little research and have found that a survey can be quite expensive. If we have title insurance why do we also need a survey?
A: Although a title insurance policy specifies the legal description for your piece of property, no physical examination of the property has taken place. Through research of records the title insurance company can only specify what has been documented. For example, if there is an encroachment on the property such as a portion of the neighbor’s garage or a deck overhang, but no easement has ever been filed, only a physical examination of the property would reveal this.
There are different types of surveys that can be performed. The least expensive is a boundary survey. When this type of survey is performed a certified professional simply locates, marks or re-establishes the boundaries of your property. A survey of this type will reveal any obvious encroachment issues but will not include details such as improvements on the property, easements or underground utilities.
A spot survey seems to be a popular avenue for many homeowners. With this type of survey not only are the boundaries located and marked by a certified professional but the improvements on the property are also addressed. The survey report and map that you receive as a result of a spot survey will include exact location of each structure on the property within the boundaries. This will not only show whether there are any encroachments but also how close each structure is to your property lines helping to prevent any future problems.
The most detailed survey is the alta survey. Although this is the most expensive survey, it will render the most detailed information about the property. When this type of survey is performed a certified professional will research the past deeds and easement, including the property boundaries in the report as well as the location and boundaries of all easements on the property. All underground utilities will also be located and inlcuded in the map and report of the property.
The details about your property that you are provided as the result of a survey can answer many questions about your property for years to come. If you are buying a lot to build on, plan to expand the size of the home you are buying or you are buying in an area that has never had building restrictions, you should seriously consider having a survey performed. If you are unsure, visit with your real estate professional who should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Lake of the Ozarks Shootout 2010 – August 23-29!
July 23, 2010 By
The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the United States and has been listed by Powerboat Magazine as one of the 8 “must see” boating events. With speeds reaching 196 MPH on a 1 mile drag, boats come from all over the United States for the honor of “Top Gun”. The 21st Anniversary event again held at Captain Ron’s brought new record crowds estimated at over 70,000 people to the Lake of the Ozarks for the weekend. Families enjoyed playing on the beaches, visiting with over 50 vendors and having their pictures taken with many of the 123 racers that participated in the record setting event. Over 8,000 boats lined the course during the two-day races as they watched David Scott and John Tomlinson of Nauti-Marine fly by on one good engine as they set a new course record at 196 miles per hour.
The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout committee is excited about the opportunity to continue such a great tradition and look forward to continued participation. Come see the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout by land at Captain Ron’s off lake road 5-50 or by water on the 34.5 mile marker. Click here for more information.
