Lost a deal because surveyors couldn't find the property's border
Has anyone ever experienced this before? This was a 50ish acre property in rural Tennessee.
How does someone who owns sell it when title wants a survey done but it's boundaries can't be located?

Find a different surveyor who can actually survey and not just look for markers. I had surveys done for 2 properties in TN and had to hire real surveyors to actually survey. They placed the markers so they will be there next time:) And recorded the markers with the County.
Ask your realtor, County building department, or a local building company. They should have recommendations. Where I am there is a back up sometimes, maybe 3 months in the Spring. Winter is fast to get them out.
Don't give up!
