Sellers refusing to go through with possession of house

Context: Metro Vancouver Area

Apologies if we've posted to the wrong subreddit but hoping we can get guidance on a very stressful situation we are currently in. We're supposed to take possession of our new home tomorrow but today we were informed by our realtors that our sellers are refusing to hand over the keys for possession tomorrow. We've already closed on the property and it is / will be legally ours.

We sold our current home and the new buyers are supposed to be given possession of our place two days after we were supposed to move in. We will still be showing up with our realtor at possession time tomorrow very well prepared with the possibility they won't handover the keys at which point we will be going directly to lawyers.

Has anyone dealt with something similar or know how lawyers proceed in these situations? This is extremely stressful as we now have to arrange storage and seeking accommodation in a hotel. I really hope no one has to ever deal with a stressful situation like this let alone for the biggest purchase of their lives. Any insights or experiences or guidance is appreciated. Regardless, looking forward to seeing a lawyer tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
