Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a real estate-specific NDA?

Real estate transactions involve unique types of sensitive information, such as tenant personal data, rent rolls, and property valuations. A generic NDA may not adequately define or protect these specific categories, leaving gaps in your protection.

Can I use this NDA for both buying and selling properties?

Yes, this NDA is drafted to be flexible. It can be used when you are disclosing property information to a potential buyer or when you are receiving confidential information as a potential buyer. Simply adjust the parties and purpose accordingly.

How long should the confidentiality obligation last?

The term typically ranges from 2 to 5 years, depending on the sensitivity of the information. For trade secrets, some agreements use perpetual confidentiality. This template lets you set a term that fits your needs.
