Doing your due diligence isn't optional—it's essential.
In this episode, we walk through the ultimate checklist of everything buyers (and agents) should be reviewing during the due diligence period to avoid costly surprises after closing.
From inspections and insurance to surveys, HOA rules, and even talking to the neighbors, this is your reminder that a home inspection alone is NOT enough.
We're sharing real stories from our own transactions—because every time something goes wrong, the checklist gets longer.
We're covering:
-What the due diligence period actually is (and why it matters) -Why a home inspection is just the beginning -Additional inspections you may need (termite, foundation, mold, etc.) -How to verify termite contracts and warranties -When and why you should get a survey -What to look for with property boundaries and servitudes -Why insurance quotes can make or break a deal -Flood insurance changes and what buyers need to know -HOA rules, deed restrictions, and lifestyle limitations -Why school districts should ALWAYS be verified -Measuring for furniture, vehicles, and future plans -Checking loan details, payments, and closing costs early -The importance of talking to neighbors before you buy
Key takeaway: The due diligence period is your window to ask questions, verify details, and make sure you're truly ready to move forward.
