Inspection objection, resolution, and termination forms

Colorado's inspection process typically moves through up to three separate forms, depending on how the buyer and seller resolve what the inspection finds. Done-Deal has fillable templates for all three.

The three forms

Code	Form	When you use it
INSP-OBJ	Inspection Objection	The buyer's formal, written objection to specific items found during inspection.
INSP-RES	Inspection Resolution	The agreement buyer and seller reach on repairs or credits after an objection.
INSP-TERM	Inspection Termination	The buyer's formal election to terminate the contract based on inspection findings.

These typically happen in sequence: the buyer objects (INSP-OBJ), the parties negotiate and land on a resolution (INSP-RES), or — if they can't agree — the buyer terminates instead (INSP-TERM).

Starting one

Each of these is a standalone form, filled the same way as any other contract in the library:

1. Open Forms in the sidebar and find the form under the Inspection section of the library.
2. Click it to start a new draft.
3. Fill it out in the on-screen editor — see Filling out a contract for how typing, checkboxes, and autosave work.
4. Send it for signature once it's ready.

Tip: Link the form to the correct transaction when you start it so it shows up alongside the rest of that deal's documents and deadlines.

Watch your deadlines

Colorado contracts set specific deadlines for objecting to inspection findings and for terminating on that basis. Check your transaction's deadline list before you draft any of these three forms — sending an objection or termination after its deadline has passed can affect your client's rights under the contract.

FAQ

Do I need to use all three forms on every deal?

No. Most inspections end without any of these — the buyer simply proceeds. You only need INSP-OBJ if the buyer is formally objecting to something, and only need INSP-RES or INSP-TERM if that objection leads to a negotiated resolution or a termination.

Can I skip straight to termination without objecting first?

That depends on your contract's specific terms and deadlines. Review the underlying contract to confirm which path applies before drafting either form.

Where do these forms show up once they're signed?

Like any other Done-Deal contract, they're stored on the transaction they're linked to, and any status changes appear in that document's history.
