When it comes to real estate, you’ve probably heard the term “due diligence,” but do you know what it means?

It’s a term we use on a regular basis. Say you’ve found your dream property. The due diligence period gives you time from contract to close to do your home inspection and other things that go on behind the scenes for you in a transaction.

This typically includes an appraisal to verify the value of the home for the bank, and a title search to make sure there are no issues with who owns the property. If you’re buying a condo or something in a neighborhood with a homeowners association (HOA), it gives you the opportunity to read through all the appropriate documents. Maybe you want to put some chickens, turkeys, or pigs or your property, but you’re buying in an area that doesn’t allow it. The due diligence period allows you time to do the research to find out if whatever you’re buying that property for will work out.
Due diligence gives you the time to clear everything up.
When you get your home under contract, make sure you’re going to be able to use that property in the way that you intended when you bought it.
