# Buyer Due Diligence and Closing (/docs/playbooks/buyer/due-diligence-and-closing)



Direct Answer [#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 [#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.
