Escrow & Title

In Colorado, 'possession at closing' means:

AA. The seller receives the keys at closing
BB. The buyer takes physical possession of the property (and receives the keys) at the time of closing✓ Correct
CC. The title company takes temporary possession
DD. Possession transfers 5 business days after closing

Explanation

When a Colorado CBS contract specifies 'possession at closing,' the seller must vacate and surrender possession of the property (keys, garage door openers, etc.) to the buyer at the closing table. Any delay in the seller vacating can constitute a breach. The contract should clearly specify the possession date and any post-closing possession arrangements.
