As far as I understood there are certain contingencies that you can add to your contract to have access to the property, such as adding a clause in the contract that states you need access to the property for contractors and inspectors via a lock box, and certain contingencies that can delay the deposit, such as a hard proof of funds (like a bank statement) & deposit after a 10-day inspection period.

Negotiations, using the right forms to keep you out of trouble, chasing people to get those forms signed on time, disclosures, comps, wrangling inspectors and re-negotiations and appraisers, managing deadlines - and the list goes on and on.The fact that a good Realtor makes it look easy doesn't mean it is.
