Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Is is legal for a real estate agent to forge the sellers signature on the sales

We listed our house through a real estate agent. The agent forged our signatures on the sales contract we did not agree to and pushed for a closing we said we didn't want. The title company was told of the invalid signature and our desire to not go forward with the closing but they are going forward as if everything is all legal and deal done. The title company knew the signature was not ours as the agent misspelled my name. The title company said the buyers attorney have told them to go to closing anyway and sign the mortgage and all papers, then they will sue us.
