Buyer Due Diligence and Closing

Direct Answer

Run a fast, checklist-driven diligence process focused on building risk, legal constraints, and closing readiness. Most failed buyer outcomes happen from late discovery and weak process control.

Key Workstreams

• Review building financials, minutes, assessments, and known litigation.
• Validate legal use, C/O constraints, and material disclosure issues.
• Clear title and survey exceptions before closing week.
• Manage walk-through, funds flow, and post-close transition tasks.
