In Georgia, the buyer's due diligence period:

Georgia law does not set the due diligence period at a fixed 14 days by statute — this is a common misconception, possibly arising from confusion with other states' statutory inspection periods or with Georgia's specific timelines for other contractual events such as the binding agreement date.

The due diligence period very much exists in Georgia real estate practice and is one of the most important and commonly used provisions in the GAR Purchase and Sale Agreement — stating that it does not exist is entirely incorrect and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of Georgia contract practice.

While 30 days is a possible negotiated due diligence period in some Georgia transactions, it is not a legally mandated or default period — the length is entirely determined by what the buyer and seller agree to in the contract, and 30 days would be unusually long for a standard residential transaction in most Georgia markets.
