Can I back out after a bad home inspection in Dewees Island?

Backing out after a bad home inspection on Dewees Island is possible when the purchase contract includes an inspection contingency, which lets a buyer cancel and recover their earnest money if the findings are unacceptable within the agreed timeline. Without that contingency in place, backing out after inspection can put the earnest money at risk depending on how the contract is written. Dewees Island's boat-only access can also mean scheduling an inspector takes extra coordination compared to a mainland home. Brian Beatty and a buyer's attorney can review the specific contract language before an offer is written.
