Closing & Transactions

How do inspections affect the closing process?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Inspection results can lead to renegotiation, repairs, or contract termination depending on the findings. The inspection period is a critical phase where buyers can request repairs or credits based on the inspection report.

Inspections typically occur in the first 10 to 15 days after contract execution. If issues are found, we negotiate repairs or credits before the inspection period expires. This is the most common point of negotiation in a Keys transaction.
