What protections does an inspection contingency give me as a 30A buyer?

An inspection contingency protects you by giving you time to fully evaluate a home before you're committed to buying it. During the inspection period, you can uncover issues, request repairs or credits, negotiate the purchase price, or, depending on your contract, cancel the agreement without losing your earnest money.

This protection is especially important on 30A because coastal conditions can impact roofs, HVAC systems, windows, and other major components. Buyers can also bring in specialists to inspect pools, elevators, docks, or structural concerns before closing.
