I wonder if you walk, without letting them get a second opinion, if they could refuse to give your deposit back for specific performance reasons?
First of all, “they” don’t have the deposit, escrow does. And, not worried about that, there is no legal requirement for a buyer to accept a second opinion from a seller. if the opinion I got was in good faith and I asked for repairs or a credit based upon the reports, I can walk if the seller refuses. Consequently, I can cancel if the seller refuses and escrow sends me the earnest money deposit, end of story. if the seller contests, then I file a lawsuit tangling up title to the property. think they will do that? not likely.
