What can I actually do about a negligent realtor who's costing me thousands?

I sold my house in NY back in July and closing keeps getting pushed. Found out this week the buyers switched lenders and my realtor never even told me, then it turned out the municipal search wasnt ordered for weeks even though she swore it was in process. Now Im paying $150 a day holding costs on the new build Im waiting to move into and my attorney wont return calls either. Is there anything I can actually do to recoup this?

Why is nobody telling me my closing attorney has been silent for weeks?

Closing is in two days. Haven't heard from my attorney in two weeks. Called the realtor, nothing. Finally got the attorney's office and found out the buyer's side sent survey docs 25 days ago and nobody told me. Why is nobody catching this stuff until I chase it down myself?

How can I use the number of days a house has been on the market as leverage?

We found a house that we love, but it has been sitting on the market for over sixty days while most others in the neighborhood sell in two weeks. We suspect the seller might be more willing to negotiate on price or terms because of the long wait. What is the best way to approach an offer that is below the asking price without offending the seller or losing the opportunity?

How can I tell the difference between cosmetic issues and serious structural problems during a walkthrough?

We have toured several older homes that have a lot of charm but also show signs of wear like uneven floors and small cracks in the plaster. Since we are first-time buyers, it is hard for us to know which issues are just surface-level fixes and which ones indicate expensive foundation or roofing repairs. We want to be able to spot major red flags before we spend money on a formal home inspection.
