What is the name of your state? buyer (me)-TN
seller-TX

I recently signed an extension on the closing date for a house I wish to purchase. The seller signed my offer, but my realtor failed (until yesterday) to tell me the seller had changed the closing date on the contract to be ten days earlier. I never signed on this and the new date is too early to process all the loan paperwork. Can the seller bind me to this date even though I never signed it? Since they signed the form I sent to them, are they bound to the original date I listed, or is the whole contract void?

As soon as you or the other party changes anything, then it becomes a new offer. Both parties will have to sign to make the new offer binding. Your realtor is an idiot.
