Read the contract you signed with your realtor (the listing agreement), you may be liable to pay their full commission as if you really sold your house. If the realtor is willing to let you off for just her actual expenses, then they are being very generous.

As for the prospective buyer, read your contract with them. They do have the ability to sue for 'specific performance' if you did not cancel the contract for a valid reason. Once you resolve the situation of stiffing your realtor, ask, them what your chances are for getting sued by the purchaser.

Not sure about your realtor commission to be paid but the buyer has every right to sue you for specific performance if they really want the house.And the court will grant one if your reason was just you unhappy with your realtor.
We were in a contract to buy house and on the last day of escrow the seller backs out stating she did not want to sell. It was in escrow for 35 days.
we sued them for specific performance and we did get the judgement for that. So talk to the buyers before u terminate the contract.

And both Realtors have a right to sue for sales commission.
