A lot of things in real estate (and life in general I suppose) are "Know when to hold em, know when to fold em." You may be better off chalking it up as a lesson learned, try to move forward and enjoy the new house. In a different thread someone put it well, something like "How much time, energy, and money are you willing to shell out to be right?" As others have said once you sign the closing docs it will probably be much more difficult to make your case.
It can be very frustrating. You don't want to feel screwed over and let people get away with shady practices. I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue it. Just make sure your decisions are relying on logic and not emotions. Talk to an attorney and go from there.
Great advice. I was the kind of guy who would spend three days going after a merchant who did me wrong, no matter how small the dollar amount was. Now, I give them a certain amount of time and number of chances to fix things. If they don't, I go to Yelp and the BBB
At this point, the OP needs to speak with a Real Estate attorney and not their agent. A seller's agent is not qualified to offer advice in this situation. I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

All of this reminds me of why, many many years ago, I adopted the mindset that I trust no one in any business transaction that is not legally representing MY interests. Cheat me once, no one has ever done it since because I trust no one from the “other side”. People think I’m difficult, hard nosed, and a few other names I cannot mention here, but they will not cheat me. I have walked away from transactions several times when it was apparent I was being set up, lied to, and taken advantage of and won’t hesitate to do it again.
Yelp and BBB are revenge outlets. Stain a company with little risk of blowback.
Wallow in pique.
But, in terms of getting any remedy to issues? Yeah, waste of time.
I've used twitter as well. I've absolutely gotten refunds and apologies from social media posts. And it usually takes ten minutes to post. Much better than sitting on hold with their respective customer services for hours.

Right on.
