Can a buyer back out after signing a contract in Summerville?
A buyer in Summerville can back out after signing a contract if the contract's own contingencies allow it, such as a financing, inspection, or appraisal contingency that isn't satisfied, though walking away without a valid contingency usually risks the earnest money deposit. The specific contract language, not a general rule, determines what happens. Brian Beatty reviews contingency deadlines with every Summerville buyer before they sign.
