I may be wrong in my understanding of the real estate code of ethics outlined in the Arizona state statutes, and everything else I've read regarding real estate transactions, but as far as I understand it the original agreement to sell is null and void due to the nondiscolure committed by the real estate agent/broker first in the fact that he signed the agreement to sell as the buyer, misrepresentating himself as the agent and stating he had a buyer/investor and Secondly because the agent involved should not sign in representation of the buyer but may only accompany the buyer to the signing (it was done through docusign, I signed first and then was notified that the buyer had signed and downloaded a copy, I didn't look at who the buyer was until just last night).
