Yes. Under the standard Florida As Is contract, a buyer can cancel for any reason during the inspection period by giving written notice before it ends, and the deposit is returned. Your contract states the exact number of days.
What should sellers do during the inspection period?
Keep the home accessible, respond quickly to repair requests, and decide early what you will fix, credit or decline. Quick, reasonable responses keep buyers committed.
What if the buyer asks for repairs?
You can agree, offer a credit, counter or decline. I show you the effect on your net proceeds and the risk of losing the sale so the decision is yours and informed.
Can the buyer cancel after the inspection period?
After the free look ends, the buyer can generally only cancel for reasons the contract allows, such as financing or title problems. Read your specific contract.
