In short
Evidence you can actually buy — bank or brokerage statements. Verified buyers on DealRoom show it once and every advisor sees the badge.
Advisors and brokers ask for proof of funds to filter out buyers who can't close. The standard document is a bank or brokerage statement showing liquid assets sufficient to cover your equity injection. On DealRoom, you upload once through the Buyer Verification process and earn a verified badge that carries across every deal you look at — advisors see it without you having to resend the same statement to each listing.
