*Update*

I have since told my realtor that I want out of the contract because of
the invalid contract. I have also stopped payment on the check. The
realtor is not trying to let the seller know about his goof up because
he knows he's messed up. I'm not even sure what he is telling the
seller at this point. He did admit to me that he goofed up. Should I
sit and wait or I should speak to an attorney?

I'm rather curious - how does the realtor explain "mistakingly"
crossing out a crucially important contingency after you had
signed the contract? Sudden epileptic siezure while he
had a pen in his hand? ;-)

Of course you should speak with an attorney. You should
already *have* one for a transaction as large as a house
purchase.
