What is DUE DILIGENCE in NORTH CAROLINA?

January 16, 2022 by Danielle Edwards

What is DUE DILIGENCE in NORTH CAROLINA Real Estate?

It is 2022 and the real estate game has changed.  Buying a home in NORTH CAROLINA? You will probably hear the term DUE DILIGENCE several times.  The Due Diligence process has changed over time and can differ from state to state. If you have purchased a home in the past or in another state, keep in mind that this process may be different from what you experienced during your last purchase.

This video was filmed before the current seller’s market we are in today.  Examples used in this video do not

portray how much due diligence fees are today.  When deciding how much due diligence money to put down on your home

you should always consult your Realtor. (hopefully that is me)

DUE DILIGENCE 101 or HOW TO UNDERSTAND DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD – REAL ESTATE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

BY DANIELLE EDWARDS

Check out my new video/blog

How to buy a home in Charlotte NC 2022

Due Diligence FAQ

The DUE DILIGENCE Process was created to benefit the buyer and the seller.

How does The Due Diligence Process help the seller?

Before the seller of a home officially takes it off the market, they will receive a certain amount of money, upfront from the buyer. If the buyer follows through with the home purchase through closing, the seller will then credit the buyer the due diligence money at closing time.

How does The Due Diligence Process help the buyer?

The buyer uses due diligence as a way to show their good faith that they are very serious about purchasing a home from the sellers.  The buyer knows if they back out for ANY REASON before 5 pm at the end of the closing period, they will lose their due diligence fee and money spent on inspections & appraisal.

What is a normal due diligence amount for buying a home in North Carolina?

Great question!! This amount has changed drastically in the past two years.  Given the competitive market in Charlotte and lack of inventory, we are now seeing the due diligence amount being more than the earnest money amount. Simple answer: It could range $250-$10,000 depending on the price of the home.

Here are some recent Due Diligence amounts on homes I have closed in Charlotte, NC:

  • $369,000 home = $1500 due diligence    >>>  2021 real example >>>  $10,000 due diligence
  • $301000 home =  $3000 due diligence >>> 2022 real example >>>> $10,000
  • $505000 home = $2000 due diligence>>>> 2022 real example >>>>$18,000

The amount varies based on many other factors of your offer to purchase a home in North Carolina.

This amount is always negotiated between the buyers, sellers, and corresponding agents.  You might offer $800, and the seller may come back and say $1,500.  When in a multiple offer situation, the  Due Diligence amount is sometimes even more important to the seller than who has made the higher offer!  If it is between you and another buyer, the seller will want to close the deal with the buyer who seems the most serious and the most financially able to purchase their home.

When do you pay the due diligence money to the seller?

Within 5 days of executed contract.  This is normally done within 24 hours, but there is a 5 day period if the buyer’s agent checks the 5-day amount on the offer to purchase contract.

How long is the due diligence period when buying a home in North Carolina?

This is a negotiated period.  The shorter the period, the better the offer to the sellers.

I would say 2.5-4 weeks is typical for a due diligence period in North Carolina, NC.

Your offer might say 4 weeks, the seller may come back and ask for 3 weeks instead.

What is earnest money when buying a home in North Carolina?

Earnest money is typically 1% of the contract price.  Again, negotiated.

The buyer will give their agent an earnest money check once the buyer’s offer is accepted. This is normally made out to REMAX EXECUTIVE(for example).  The check is deposited for escrow at closing.  The buyer’s agent will refund the earnest money within 2-5 business days if the buyer were to back out during the due diligence period for any reason. If for some reason there is a discrepancy with releasing the earnest money, then you will have to go to mediation.  (I have never had that happen).  However,  at 5:01 pm on the date the due diligence period ends that earnest money is no longer refundable.  It will stay in escrow for you and be a credit to you at closing.

Some agents will show a copy of both checks when presenting the offer.  Always make sure your account information is covered.  This shows good faith. About 60% of the time, this is how the process goes.  There are times a buyer will not have checks on them and the checks are presented after their offer is accepted.  It can be a personal check or a certified check.  Certified is typically preferred, but not necessary.

DO YOU HAVE A BUYER’S AGENT?

If you are looking for a buyer’s agent in the Charlotte area I would be honored to work with you.  There are also two other Realtors on my team to help assist you if you are looking in an area that I am not an expert in.  It is very important to choose an agent who works in the trenches in the area you are looking in.  I can also help refer you an agent in North or South Carolina with my network of fantastic agents I have worked with.  I am licensed in NC/SC and cover parts of the Fort Mill/Lake Wylie area.

What to Know About Buying a Home in an HOA

July 12, 2021 by Danielle Edwards

HOA Community Charlotte

Thinking of Buying a Home with an HOA: Homeowners Association?

If you’re considering buying a home in an HOA (Homeowners Association), it’s important to know the details before making your decision. In Charlotte, NC, HOAs are common, and while they can protect the value of your property, an uninformed buyer could make a big mistake. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of HOA communities will help you make a more informed choice.

What Is an HOA?

A homeowners association (HOA) is an organization that manages and regulates residential communities. By purchasing a home within an HOA, you agree to comply with the association’s rules and regulations, which could range from maintaining the appearance of your home to restrictions on property modifications.

What Types of Properties Have HOAs?

  • Single-family homes
  • Townhomes
  • Condominiums

What Are the Different Types of HOAs?

  • Voluntary HOA: Homeowners can choose whether to join.
  • Mandatory HOA: Every homeowner must be a member and adhere to the rules.
  • Optional HOA: Offers services to homeowners without mandatory participation.

Important HOA Considerations

Before you make an offer on a home with an HOA, consider these key questions:

  • Is there an architectural committee or review process?
  • Are there rules or regulations that might affect your lifestyle?
  • Are there any upcoming assessments?
  • What does the HOA cover for exterior maintenance?
  • Can you review the HOA’s financials?
  • When were major community updates (like the roof, pool, siding) last completed?
  • Are there restrictions on home-based businesses or commercial vehicles?
  • Are there limitations on cosmetic changes to your home, such as painting or adding a shed?
  • What about holiday decorations?

HOA Charlotte Community

Why Your Realtor Should Help You Navigate HOA Communities

Your Realtor® should provide you with the HOA documents before you make an offer. It’s also helpful to talk to neighbors for their perspective. Living in a Charlotte HOA can protect the integrity of your investment, but if you prefer flexibility over restrictions, it’s worth considering whether an HOA is right for you.

Cost-Effective Curb Appeal Projects

April 19, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

Cost-effective curb appeal projects for your home

Cost-effective curb appeal projects that won’t break the bank

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Fix up the exterior of your newly purchased home without emptying your wallet, or get your home in shape to sell without having to hire anyone to do the work for you. Sometimes all it takes is cleaning things up a bit, adding a few accents, or hiding unsightly items in your front yard. Below are some DIY ideas on how to make the most out of your home with just a few cost-effective curb appeal projects.

1. Update your garage door

Even if the exterior of your home is well-maintained or new, a dirty or drab garage door could take away from your home’s curb appeal. This cost-effective curb appeal project will help you transform your home, just by adding some paint or a few pieces of hardware.

  • Option One: Add some gel stain to make your garage door look like it’s made out of beautiful wood. You can even re-stain your front door to match. Learn how here.Cost-effective curb appeal projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Option Two: Add brackets to your garage door to add some character. This can be done for as little as $10! Click here for a tutorial.

2. Dress up your foundation

If the foundation of your home is less-than-appealing, it’s an easy fix! Simply add some stone to the foundation to add some curb appeal, plant some shrubs, or add stucco. All 3 can be done for a low price. You can find more foundation-improvement ideas for added curb appeal here.

3. Update your mailbox

Your mailbox is the first thing people see from the road. Ditch the tiny black mailbox on a stick and add some stone and elegant numbers to the front instead. This can be accomplished in about a day, and is less expensive than buying a brand new mailbox! To add some extra pizzazz, plant some flowers at the base.
