Markham is a south-suburban city with commercial corridors and light-industrial and distribution uses near major highways. Commercial acquisitions, refinancing and development of these parcels commonly rely on an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. The current standards give lenders and title companies a reliable depiction of boundaries, easements and encroachments.

What an ALTA/NSPS survey shows

An ALTA/NSPS land title survey is the most detailed boundary survey, prepared to the national standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It maps boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments and the Table A items your lender or title company requests, and is certified to every party in the transaction.

When Markham buyers and lenders need an ALTA survey

Commercial acquisitions — buyers and lenders require an ALTA survey before closing
Refinancing — lenders often condition financing on a current ALTA/NSPS survey
Development & due diligence — confirm easements, access and encroachments before you build
Title insurance — surveys support extended coverage and remove survey exceptions

Markham & Cook County specifics

Markham has about 11,700 residents and spans Bremen and Thornton townships in southern Cook County. Its industrial, distribution and commercial parcels near expressway access drive the transactions where ALTA surveys are used. Deeds, easements and plats are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division in Chicago, where the Recorder of Deeds function was merged into the Clerk’s office in December 2020, and the surveyed boundary is tied to the title commitment before closing. Industrial sites here often carry utility and access easements that an ALTA survey documents.

What Markham-area clients say

I've used Pi Surveying a few times (once in the sale of my home and another in the purchase of my current home) and have to say I'm extremely satisfied with the service they provided. They were extremely detail oriented, experienced, and delivered an exceptional survey with very little effort on my part! From first call to job completion, they were always available and very communicative. Will definitely be calling them if I need them again!

This service is superb! I needed a survey done quickly. I had a deadline and I was out of options. Someone referred me to Pi Surveying and they were so easy to work with. They were competitively priced, quick to get the job done and reliable. Their customer service is top notch! I highly recommend!

Pi Surveying delivered exactly what we needed, on time and without any hassle. From the initial call to receiving our final survey documents, the process was smooth and straightforward. You can tell this team knows what they're doing — over 40 years of combined experience really shows in the quality and accuracy of their work. Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

We were very happy with the services provided by Pi Surveying. They came out quickly for a survey that I needed to get in order to put up a fence on our property. We were in a rush because the HOA would start fining us if we didn't get it done before the end of the month. They were awesome! Very highly recommend this company.

Pi Surveying helped me in the process of buying my commercial building. As a first time buyer, they were very helpful and efficient in taking care of the surveying part. My point of contact was very responsive and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Great overall experience.

My wife and I were pleased with the Land Surveying services that Pi Surveying provided. The surveyor took the time to explain everything on the survey and what our property boundaries looked like legally. They were professional, courteous and efficient throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them!

Found myself in a bind after discovering some issues with a property. My real estate attorney pointed me towards Pi and I will do the same for anyone else! They were able to get me taken care of when I was in a time crunch, and didn't rake me over the coals with pricing. Standup company, honest, and have earned my business for life. Thanks guys!

Frequently asked questions

When is an ALTA survey used in Markham?

It is used for commercial and industrial transactions in Markham when a lender or title company must insure title, such as a distribution or commercial purchase or refinance. The survey depicts boundaries, easements and encroachments.

What are Table A items?

Table A is the optional list in the ALTA/NSPS standards, covering extras such as topography, parking counts and zoning setbacks. Clients select the items that fit the transaction.
