For the days just before a deposit
Deposit Risk Alert
The deposit is the moment the decision stops being reversible.
You have days, sometimes hours, and a stack of claims you could not test.
The alert marks what we could not establish in the time available, with a note of where we looked.
You receive
A one-page alert: posture, evidence table, next questions
Delivery
Urgent: within 12 hours. Standard: within 24 hours.
Fee
$490–790 founding member · later $1,900–4,900
Deposits in this market run 10 to 20 percent of price. On a $300,000 purchase that is $30,000 to $60,000 at stake, against a fixed fee.
If we cannot reach the evidence floor this product needs, we decline before payment or refund in full. The urgency is yours, never manufactured: if you have more time than you think, the alert says so.
What it is
A focused examination of the deposit itself: where the money goes, how it is protected, and what stands between you and losing it.
Escrow is read from evidence, not from the brochure. A claim that an escrow exists is not the same as money protected by one. The alert shows which of the two you have.
You receive one posture, Verify, Investigate, or Hold, with the evidence behind it and the exact questions that would settle it.
What it is not
Not a full project examination. It looks hard at one thing: the deposit.
Not a verdict on the property or the developer.
It does not tell you to pay or not to pay. It shows you what you would be paying into.
What a posture looks like
Hold. The payment account named in the draft contract could not be matched to a protected escrow account. Two documents would settle this. Ask for them before any transfer.
Three postures exist: Verify, Investigate, Hold. There is no fourth called buy.
