Our Story

From Humble Beginnings to Statewide Service

Residential Land Services began in 2010 as a single surveyor working the Raleigh-Durham area, founded by Dean M. Rhodes with a simple belief: every client deserves accurate work, fair pricing, and responsive service.

From those humble beginnings, RLS has grown into a multi-crew operation serving North Carolina's major markets — Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Fayetteville, Greenville, and Wilmington. Our growth hasn't changed our values. Every project, whether it's a single homeowner's property line survey or a large-scale development, receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.

We continue to invest in the latest surveying technology while building a dedicated and diverse staff of highly trained professionals. Our team includes licensed surveyors, experienced crew chiefs, and skilled CAD technicians who share a common commitment to getting it right.
