Buyer not present at home inspection?

My offer was accepted by the bank. I've been inside the house three times now. To my amateur eyes,the property appears to be in very good shape except for some cosmetics, the electricity and water are turned on and worked.

The bank is only allowing a 7 day inspection period, and as luck would have it I'm going out of town (driving trip) for the Christmas holidays. My realtor said I could schedule a home inspection and she would let the inspector in. But are there any concerns about me not being present during the inspection? I was there during the inspection of my own home. The other option is scheduling the inspection on the second to last or last day of the 7 day period, when I'm back, but I'm concerned that I could be cutting it too close if I have some car troube on the trip, or the inspection co. has to cancel for some reason. Thanks
