Q: If I'm within my inspection period, and want to back out of the As Is contract, can I? Will I get my deposit back?
Seller or Agent keep sending Seller disclosure over incorrectly answered, saying seller made a mistake. Buy no longer feels comfortable with the home.
A:
The usual AS IS contract in Florida provides for an absolute backout and termination of the contract by the buyer BUT ONLY IF THE WRITTEN NOTICE OF CANCELLATION IS GIVEN ON OR BEFORE THE LAST DAY IN THE INSPECTION PERIOD.
Carefully read what that timeline is and carefully provide the SELLER and the Seller's broker with the written notice of cancellation. If the Seller's address for mailing is not on the contract, then their appointed contact point would be their real estate agent.
