Re: Buyers Rights
There might not be much you can do, unless your real estate agent is willing to give you a deal voluntarily. Your question says nothing about why the closing is being delayed. The most common reason is something to do with the financing, which often isn't anybody's fault.
This is an example of the kind of thing that perhaps might have been prevented if you had hired a lawyer to be in your corner during the transaction.
Good luck.
