Great feedback/advice.

I will not release my inspection report until I have a signed agreement and payment. "It's not personal - just business" - I tell them. I have been remiss where I probably should have sent my agreement in advance. I do not print on site so there is no uncomfortable chatter about why I can't hand over a report that just printed. For those who forgot their checkbook, I gladly accept credit cards.

In the past, a few clients wanted to carefully review my agreement at their leisure and I would not discourage this. In fact, I recommend an attorney to review all transaction documentation. Further, I state that they owe me nothing for the inspection if they decide not to sign my agreement. In my mind - it is far better to walk away, then to deal with a picky/litigious client who will later complain that that the contract was signed under duress.
