@Daniil GrinchakUnless you handed the seller a bag full of money you used a title company or Attorney for settlement.

The contract doesn't really matter as long as both parties are agreeable and remain agreeable until settlement.

You have a concrete slab settlement issue that most like tied to a foundation issue as well.

(all of the above ignores closing and settlement costs for simplicity's sake)*Needless to say, these scenarios are very few and far between, because this seller can usually just sell their house for what it's worth, or at a discount, as a FSBO or with a Realtor, and be even better off.

Or ask your settlement Attorney.

I was required to fax in:Copy of my Drivers LicenseCopy of my Social Security CardNOTARIZED water service applicationSigned copy of settlement statement from title companyThis seems like a ridiculous amount of red-tape required to set up water and trash service with the city of Dallas.  

He briefly mentioned the Right to Show Clause: that the buyer reserves the right to show property prior to settlement for purpose of selling, renting or leasing, and the seller agrees to permit access to buyer at anytime up to date of settlement.If anybody has any experience with this, I would love to pick your brain and learn how I can utilize it.Thanks!

It should state something to the effect that if they purchase the address listed on the agreement within X amount of time (12 months, 3 years, whatever) then your fee has been earned and is due upon settlement of the property.

The delay related to the settlement company being backed up as well as a problem with a signature.Which do I go by? 

You should not need to use your cash - We use an assignment agreement - whereas your end buyer will settle with the owner - your profit will be an assignment fee on the settlement statement.
