For the third time in two days get a call for a survey.
Seems a home/ranch is bought sight unseen and needs a survey.
Can't recall more than one of those a year.
All of a sudden we have become popular.
Can't blame that on covid...on certain individuals probably, maybe even in a realty type position.....
..." Survey? Why would you need a survey? This fence has been here for decades! I'm sure everything is absolutely fine, we see this all the time......"
😐 😯 🤐
GIS and Google Earth inspections. There is no devil hiding in the details.

Looks like the lure of inexpensive property has trickled down (up?) from California...
I know several people who have looked at purchasing; or have purchased, property in Montana. A couple of decades ago, folks from California were cashing in on their property down there, and moving north, to get the same thing, for half the price. Now it seems the property values went up in those areas, and people that were living here are cashing in and moving east...
Not sure I would call this cheap land. There has been an explosion here, one realtor told me he has 100 people looking for any land anywhere at almost any price.
The realtors are trying to grab an auction bankrupt parcel to split up. Looks like the auction price is skyrocketing.
I'm looking at possibly picking up something on the Big Island, should have done it 6 months ago, the same type of thing is happening there, only I'm on the opposite side. My timing always sucks.
COVID has a lot of people working remotely. One of my coworkers (technically my immediate supervisor) has been working from his condo in Arizona since before Christmas. He intends to return to Oregon around the end of February.
I have no doubt that remote workers are realizing that they can trade a big city condo for a Wyoming Ranch and not have to leave their jobs.
My brother says " Tell them Cody is a dump and isn't worth a bucket of warm spit...."
Kanye and Kim bought a big chunk near town and then proceeded to build a dirt berm miles long to keep out the lookie-lews and paparazzi...
Looks like one of them will be on the way out sooner than later....
I was working on a park redevelopment proposal last week with the principal of a Landscape Architecture firm in DC. She has been working from her sister's house in Bend for the last four months.
Like a lot of places, my work has allowed everyone the option of working from home. I'm sitting in a room with 24 cubicles and I'm one of 2 people here. 4 or 5 others come in often enough that I'm sure that they must be local. The others? They could be anywhere. Anywhere with decent internet service.
The other guy that is here is the other surveyor. Unfortunately for us the remote working thing doesn't fit our tasks quite as well. We have to be on the ground.
