Listing agent submitted docs too late...now we lost the house.

We had a foreclosure purchase contract that was expiring on 6/01/09. My realtor submitted an extension request to the listing agent on 5/29/09. The listing agent didn't submit the extension to the bank until almost 2 weeks after the contract expired. The listing agent just kept telling us she hadn't heard anything yet. Meanwhile, the bank put the house back on the market and accepted another offer. I'm not sure where to go from here...Is there any legal action that I can pursue? Thank you.

You might be able to sue the listing agent for negligence. Frankly I think it's a longshot. I'm not sure the listing agent owed you a duty. And how were you harmed?
