If they are closing by the last date in the signed agreement, you have no right to an earlier date or recourse for not closing earlier. A written agreement can only be changed in writing, not orally; therefore, if they never agreed in writing to an earlier date, the original written agreement stands, and as long as they close within that time, they are not liable for anything.
