@alishacollinsrealestate: Replying to @bowie0705 The purchase contract can give buyers a LOT of protection—but exactly how much depends on the state and, more importantly, the terms of the contract they signed. Earnest money, inspections, repair negotiations and financing contingencies can all create situations where a buyer may be able to terminate and potentially receive their earnest money back. That’s why I spend so much time explaining contracts to my buyers AND sellers. Don’t just sign it. Understand what the other party can do after you sign it. I’m a real estate agent, not an attorney, and I’m speaking from more than 2,000 transactions of experience. What state are you in, and do you think your purchase contract favors the buyer or the seller? Why? #alishacollins #casperwyomingrealestate #realestatebestie #earnestmoney #realestatecontract

In NC it favors the seller. Homes a as is. Buyers have to pay a due diligence fee to the seller ( normally 1%) that they don’t get back if they decide not to buy the house.

It’s not refundable if they agree to the inspection agreement. The seller determines what that inspection period is and contingencies associated with it. It’s a contract- I’m in Oregon. If a seller wants non refundable it’s up to the sellers and I think this is going to come back into the inspection periods - as this was always present during my past development in the 90’s in sales if properties lots and new builds.

The contract is written for neither. It’s a huge hassle and lawyer investment to get a “small” amount of $ back. Just walk away.
