Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

I'm selling a house to a business owner-he agreed to pay tax value of house & pay closing costs-he understood the money was for my mother's final expenses because she is in a nursing home & can't go home. Verbal agreement for $23000.00. Waited several months to close the deal. I always had to contact him, & he kept saying waiting for the bank, or he had been out of town, or his secretary's sister was in hospital, & we would close deal very soon. Finally he set up appt to meet at his lawyer's office. I signed all the paperwork for the $23000.00. Then he called the office & said he had problem getting all the money, he could give me $21000.00 & the rest the next week. I had no choice but to agree, lawyer didn't give me a copy because he needed the money in office to complete it & file it. When I contacted him, he said he could only give me $20000.00 because the bank said the lot where the house sits is too small. What can I do to get him to live up to the agreement we made & signed the papers for the original amount we agreed upon?
