At the closing of the home in question. At closing, the seller gets the money for the house and the buyer gets possession of and title to the house; from one moment after closing on, it is no longer the seller's house, but the buyer's. The buyer is entitled to the keys to his or her property; and the seller has no right to keep keys to another's home.
