The practical answer
Key delivery and possession depend on closing completion and the agreement. A walkthrough or document signing alone may not authorize occupancy.
Your next step
Confirm the possession process with the closing professional and builder.
How this fits your SWFL home search
Closing combines property readiness, financing, insurance, title, documents, funds, and possession. Organized review and independently verified payment instructions help buyers avoid last-minute confusion.
Use the closing professional and qualified attorney for document and title questions, and never rely solely on emailed wiring instructions.
Turn the answer into a decision
- Identify the exact home, homesite, and stage of the purchase. Bring the current written information into your comparison.
- Confirm the possession process with the closing professional and builder.
- Record the response, the person responsible, and any deadline. If an answer changes the purchase cost, schedule, or scope, ask where that change is documented.
- Keep unresolved items visible when comparing alternatives. Ask the appropriate qualified professional to assess questions outside a consultant’s scope.
