The Real Estate transaction is considered "closed" once the deeds have been recorded with the County.  You then own the home.  However, it is not always possible for you to occupy it immediately.  It is customary to allow the seller up to a maximum of three days to turn over actual possession and keys to the home. When the transfer of possession actually occurs should be clearly laid out in your offer to purchase to prevent confusion later.
