I don’t disagree but if the contract states the seller has time to fix the issue then isn’t the agent being fiduciarily responsible by explaining that the buyers deposit is at risk? We are missing some details so it’s hard to know.

Did the buyer agree to let the seller fix the issue and now wants to back out. The extension thing is very confusing.
