Streamline the US due diligence process in real estate transactions with Legatics

Updated over a week ago

The US due diligence process in real estate transactions can quickly become overwhelming with scattered documents, manual updates, and difficulty tracking progress. Traditional methods, like Word and Excel, make it hard to keep everything organized and aligned. Legatics transforms this process by centralizing due diligence workflows, making collaboration seamless and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Let’s explore how Legatics can simplify your diligence process!


Managing diligence in Excel or Word is inefficient and error-prone

Word or Excel is often used to manage the diligence process, but it falls short in several key areas:

  • Version control issues: With multiple team members working on the same file, tracking the latest version becomes a headache. Updates can get lost, and team members often work from outdated copies, causing confusion.

  • Tracking threads is messy: Questions, responses, and follow-ups are often scattered across multiple columns in Excel or Word, making it hard to follow the full thread of a query.

  • Manual updates are time-consuming: Maintaining the file requires constant attention to formatting and data integrity, adding unnecessary administrative burden.

  • Limited collaboration: Excel and Word lack real-time collaboration features, leading to delays as team members email files back and forth.

These challenges can slow down the diligence process, lead to miscommunication, and increase the risk of missing critical information.


Legatics simplifies and centralizes diligence

Legatics replaces outdated Excel and Word workflows with a centralized, collaborative platform designed for efficiency and clarity:
