New Construction Earnest Money

Question on what happens with the earnest money builder deposit if the builder refuses to correct any of the issues found during inspection and blue tape walk?

You would need to read your contract for that.

But most likely too bad, so sad in legalese.

I’m in this situation. I had no idea that builders can literally write contracts to remove any accountability for the quality of homes they build. It’s unbelievable.

Since the builder’s contract was written by them, they likely get to keep it no matter what.

Your agent or attorney should be reviewing your contract terms with you so you know what your next move is.
