I recently found a house to buy. We agreed on a purchase price, put
down our money, and signed the contracts...all we had left to do was a
set a closing date.

Hmmmm.....when we put a bid on the homes we wanted to buy, we set the
closing date as part of the contract (it was one of the contingencies on the
offer). What did your real estate agent say about his./her error?
