What a 48-Hour Environmental Transaction Screen Does
This is a desktop environmental risk screen designed to help you decide whether to move forward, slow down, or walk away — before ordering formal due diligence like a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.
It’s a fast, practical way to understand potential environmental concerns early in a transaction.
What This Screen Is — And What It Is Not
This Screen is:
A 48-hour desktop environmental risk screen
A pre-due-diligence decision tool
Focused on early red flags
Built for 1031 exchange
Written in plain English
This Screen is not:
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
A lender-accepted report
A site visit or field inspection
Sampling, testing, or drilling
Regulatory approval or sign-off
A guarantee that issues do or do not exist
This screen is an early filter, not a replacement for required reports.
What You Receive Within 48 Hours
