Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

If our realtor accepted a deposit and the check wasn't properly written to the realty company - just to their depository bank and the buyer now wants to back out of the contract because he now decided the drive for him was too far away - what recourse do I have with the contract. Is that a breach?
