I used to coach for Robert Kiyosaki, have conducted all kinds of bus tours for the various personalities from HGTV and owned a real estate brokerage and yet I have family members and friends who go and try it on their own and then call me after they get in a bind. 

If you are already under contract (in backup) and have delivered the earnest money, you could simply cancel and take it to a new brokerage and have them resubmit the offer..
