No Surprises. No Setbacks. Just Smart Planning.
We conduct a comprehensive site assessment—covering zoning, utilities, and code compliance—for a flat $500 due diligence fee. By identifying potential red flags early, we aim to minimize delays, unexpected expenses, and unnecessary stress. If challenges arise, we’ll reassess and guide you toward the most practical, cost-effective path forward—but outcomes may vary depending on circumstances beyond our control.
