Georgia Due Diligence Period: Can Cobb County Buyers Back Out?

Most Kennesaw and Marietta buyers assume they need a failed inspection to walk away from a contract. In Georgia, you don't. The due diligence period gives you a negotiated window, often just 7 to 10 days, to terminate for any reason and keep your earnest money. Miss the deadline, though, and that protection disappears fast, along with your deposit.
