The typical real estate contract includes a contingency clause that permits the buyer to back out of the deal without losing their earnest money if, for any reason, the home inspection uncovers problems. Buyers can also choose to renegotiate the terms of the contract based on the findings of the home inspection. That's why, as a seller, it's essential to learn how to pass a home inspection so that the closing process can go off without a hitch.
