What are the rules for canceling a contract?

Was under contract on a home until yesterday due to a horrible inspection where we decided to back out. Our contract had an inspection contingency. Our agent sent the listing agent an agreement to cancel the contract and return us our earnest money that they still haven’t signed and returned to us. The agent never even answered our agent to confirm receipt.

However, we saw earlier this evening when looking at Zillow and homes.com that not only is the house no longer listed as pending but they scheduled an open house this Saturday. I guess my question is, is this allowed when we don’t even have the signed agreement back from the seller? I can’t help but be super worried especially that the agent didn’t even respond. Our agent said that they’re allowed to do this since we have already given them our signed release, but he is also a newer agent and I’m not even sure he’s positive about that. Don’t know if I’m blowing all of this up in my head though.

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...
