Get Seller Possession After Closing

This fee is meant to compensate the seller for the period of time when the property is off the market for a buyer's due diligence process. The amount often depends on the the price of the home and the length of the due diligence period.

The due diligence fee is a negotiable (by your realtor) and is typically between $500 and $2000, depending on the market competition and on the purchase price of the home. Just like the earnest money deposit discussed in our other blogs, a higher due diligence fee makes your offer more enticing to a seller.

And in many cases, a home seller who reneges on a purchase contract can be sued for breach of contract. A judge could order the seller to sign over a deed and complete the sale anyway. “The buyer could sue for damages, but usually, they sue for the property,” Schorr says.

In 2011, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission introduced a revised Offer to Purchase and Contract (always seeking to protect consumers) and with that, a new term called "due diligence." Well, change doesn't come easy, and this new concept and contract came with its own challenges for many NC Realtors either.
