Definition of due diligence. 1  1 law : the care that a reasonable person exercises to avoid harm to other persons or their property failed to exercise due diligence in trying to prevent the accident.
The due diligence fee is the amount paid by the buyer directly to the seller, which the seller keeps no matter what. If the deal closes, the buyer will have that amount credited back to them at closing. But either way, that amount up front is the seller's to keep. In addition to the due diligence fee, there is an agreed upon due diligence period.
