Real estate transactions involve a large number of participants, each with their own needs, timetables and documents; this flood of paper includes plans, specifications, loan proposals, lease agreements, appraisal & environmental reports and more. Every specialist consumes and creates a large number of documents during the course of their own activity related to the successful completion of the transaction. In addition, various regulations and business practices require that these documents be retained for a number of years after the transaction is complete.
This mountain of paper leads to a costly and inefficient due diligence process that consumes more time and resources than is necessary. The burden of verifying consistency among the various specialists is often overwhelming and may lead to erroneous assumptions in the underlying decision making process.
