Well, the closing finally went off today..... The seller and his wife along with an agent from my office frantically washed off plaster and lightly sanded off bumps. The purchaser agreed to accept the property as it was (it actually looked pretty good) if we would pay for a cleaning service to go in and get the grime from the sanding and washing cleaned off. In an effort to close and move on, the buyers agent and I agreed to kick in $100 each for the cleaning service and everyone went away happy.
The moral of this story? When you are moving out of a property prior to closing, the best advice is NOT to plaster over small nail holes, just leave them, this is substantially the way the property was at contract signing (the nails were there then, they can stay there!)
I'll log in with some additional information on walkthroughs from both a buyer's and seller's perspective.
