What happens during the due diligence period?
In North Carolina, buyers and sellers negotiate a due diligence period, which is the number of days that the buyer has to fully investigate the property. The buyer pays the seller to take the home off the market.
Typically, the due diligence period lasts about 15 to 21 days. As a buyer, this is your time to complete all of your inspections and get your lending in order. Make sure that your loan application has been submitted, goes through underwriting, and order the appraisal.
" During the due diligence period, the buyer will complete inspections and secure their financing.

Once the inspections are completed, you and the seller will negotiate the necessary repairs.
