Which seven checks protect a remote purchase?

A listing portal is a starting point, not a complete record. Keep the source and date for each of the seven grouped checks.

How do you verify the address from away?

Ask a local professional to identify what cannot be resolved from documents or video, then schedule the right inspection or visit during the contract period. Keep screenshots and copies with dates.

What still requires local evidence?

Make a stop-or-proceed list before the offer. This reduces pressure when an unfamiliar detail appears late.
