Before You Sell the Land, Get the Lay of It—Why Land Surveys Matter
When it comes to selling vineyard or winery property, it’s not just about location—it's about clarity, compliance, and confidence. That’s where Ray Carlson & Associates comes in.
With more than 40 years of experience in surveying and land consulting, Ray Carlson & Associates helps wine industry professionals protect their investment and maximize value by providing comprehensive, high-precision land surveys. Whether you're selling your estate or subdividing a large property, a survey is more than a technical requirement—it’s a strategic tool.
Why a Land Survey Matters When Selling
Selling a vineyard or winery often involves complex property features—easements, access roads, water rights, and unique zoning requirements. A boundary dispute or an overlooked flood zone designation can delay or derail a deal.
Ray Carlson & Associates offers a suite of services to ensure your transaction goes smoothly:
Boundary and Easement Surveys: Clarify legal property lines and access rights.
Topographic & ALTA/NSPS Surveys: Critical for title insurance and due diligence.
FEMA Flood Zone & Elevation Certificates: Help buyers understand risk and insurance needs.
As-Built Surveys & Parcel Mapping: Provide accurate documentation of existing conditions and potential land splits.
Technology-Driven Precision
Using cutting-edge drone (UAV) technology, GPS systems, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Ray Carlson & Associates delivers not just maps, but actionable insights. Their aerial surveys, 3D fly-throughs, and vineyard-specific mapping services are especially valuable to buyers seeking clarity on what they’re purchasing.
Supporting the Whole Transaction
The team also supports real estate transactions through consulting and expert witness services—whether it's backing up a title report or providing historical aerial photos for development research.
Designed for the Wine Industry
With vineyard as-built mapping, development planning, and regulatory compliance documentation, their services are tailored for the unique needs of vineyard and winery properties. That’s why top developers, brokers, and landowners in wine country trust Ray Carlson & Associates for their mapping needs.
Thinking of selling? Make your first call the one that sets the foundation for a smooth and profitable transaction. Ray Carlson & Associates is ready to help you map the way forward.
